In the past few months, Shawn's seen a few new doctors and has had lots more tests. The current thinking from the gastroenterologist is that his nausea and weight loss are caused by his hypercalcemia. Neurologist likewise believes that neuromuscular problems are due to hypercalcemia.
What remains a mystery is what is causing the hypercalcemia. A new round of blood tests, urine tests, CT scan, xrays failed to help pinpoint the cause.
About a month after the bone scan, Shawn started feeling a new spot on one of the bones of his right hand. Sure enough, it is located right where the scan lit up. What does all this mean? The short answer: more doctors!
We're waiting to hear back now from two new doctors to schedule appointments. One in Bloomington and another at U of C. So for now, more waiting... waiting... waiting...
