Conflicting reports
Last night while in emergency Kal started complaining of some abdominal pain.The doctor looking after him arranged for him to have an ultrasound this morning.His pain seemed to get a little worse this morning and the initial results from the ultrasound showed that Kallan had appendicitis.I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.He was told to start fasting in preperation for an operation.When some doctors came to see Kal later in the evening he said that they were now unsure as to whether they were going to operate because of conflicting reports.One report said that it was appendicitis and the other was inconclusive.The doctors said it was rare to see someone suffering from appendicitis while also suffering from cancer but it's certainly not out of the question.The other thing they suspect it could be is a condition called tephalitis(however that's spelt).It's a condition that causes inflamation of the gut region and is not uncommon for patients having chemo.Chemo kills off so many things and unfortunately it effects some organs as well.The doctors said they will go back look over the reports with a panel of doctors and come back to us with a decicion later on.Well as of 10:30pm we still haven't been told anything so we are none the wiser which is extremely frustrating.
