Yesterday morning the oncologist had to stop K's colonoscopy. K's blood pressure kept going up, plus he couldn't stop vomiting. And the oncologist encountered a blockage in the intestine that the scope couldn't pass. K is rescheduled for an air contrast barium enema. Hopefully, his body will be able to tolerate this one. The oncologist did remove some polyps that were found before they stopped the procedure. What is heart breaking is his next appointment is in august.

On a limited income we have no options. We are depending on the charity hospital for our health care and there are so many people in Louisiana without insurance that there are no available appointments for months. Some people have to wait a year for an appointment. I have to keep telling myself to count our blessings.
