Just got back from his Dr. appointment with the ophthalmologist, didn't get good news, his retina in his right eye is detached and he is blind in the right eye because of the mass (tumor), I was also told he has a mass in his left eye as well. Any chance of him retaining his vision in his right eye is gone, they are talking about removing his right eye, and possibly chemo for his left.
They want us to go to Duke Medical, but it is 3 hours away, and financially its going to be very hard. St Judes is about 10 minutes away, and I would still be able to go to work. I really don't know what to do at this point. My whole world got flipped upside down, I went in thinking he would be one of the 95% cure rates, but with it in both eyes, it drops. I feel lost.
