I am finally home after 10 days in the hospital. I wish I could say that everything is OK, but the truth is, we still don’t know what we are dealing with. After three different biopsies we know that the tumor originated in the glute and grew into my pelvic area. It is the size of a baseball and is pushing up against my organs and the nerves in my left leg.
The doctors aren’t really sure if the tumor is pushing or growing out of my nerves. Either way I am in a lot of pain. More pain than the bike course of Utah, Tahoe and Maui put together. On a scale of 1-10, (1 being no pain and 10 being a lot), my pain ranges from 5 on a good day to 11 on a bad day. None of the pain meds or “nerve blockers” work well.
