I'd hold off coming here until we know what's up. Casey is here with me and so is Meagan's sister (Riley is out of town).
A field guide for men who are supporting their wife or significant other in becoming free of cancer. Especially when they are hit by a stroke in mid-treatment. I outline the process and experiences, and offer tips and hints for others. My dear wife, Meagan, died from Stage 4 melanoma cancer.

ER, again
My premonition was right about this day, if the reason was off. Battled head pain and nausea all day. After talking to on-call doc twice, we decided to bring her in to ER. Good thing. Because her head was hurting so badly and fact she has two new tumors there was concern about bleeding, and she has a history. Turns out that was not the issue. The issue is swelling, a buildup of spinal fluid in the brain. Neurologists are evaluating now. Not clear yet on cause or solution. She's on pain meds and anti-nausea and saline for dehydration. She's resting, pain easing a bit. We are on standby until ER doc and neurologists have a game plan.
