The bad news for Dylan just keep rolling in... Davide couldn't actually do a bone biopsy today as when he went into the bone, loads of blood spurted out. He said he'd never seen anything like it and being the head of the oncology department, he obviously knows his stuff and has done plenty of bone biopsies before. Whatever is in Dylan's bone is basically eating the bone away from the inside and all that's left is just blood everywhere, including the swelling that has appeared since yesterday. So we are still none the wiser as to what exactly is going on in his leg, Davide said he couldn't believe that one month down the line, we still don't know what we are dealing with. What we do know though is that whatever "it" is, is very aggressive and nasty... and things really aren't looking good for my precious boy. We have nearly doubled his pain medication now to see whether we can get Dylan comfortable that way. And that's the best we can do now really, just keeping Dylan comfortable. Tomorrow we will get the biopsy result for the spleen which will give us an indication whether cancer is present there too.
I feel absolutely drained. I had to get Flash to his first hydrotherapy session tonight as well, and as I didn't want to leave Dylan on his own, after the anaesthetic I asked Ann whether she would be able to sit with him, which she very kindly did. (Flash did great in the water treadmill!).
Dylan has eaten his dinner now, I have given him the increased dosages of Pardale and Tramadol and he is asleep now; not deeply, but at least resting.
