My boyfriend went to the hospital last tuesday the 19th of may because he was having problems breathing- they found out he has a cancerous tumor by his air passage- they went in friday the 22nd of may for surgery to get a biopsy- but as of now they are thinking its a lymphoma cancer- today it is wednesday May 27- and he has yet to wake up since the surgery.. his face and arms were swollen but his legs were regular size- he has a breathing tube in, he is completely sedated... they try at least once a day to wake him up, and they turn the med. off but its a no go every time. he opened his eyes last night but other than that nothing.. im dont understand why they have him sedated for... he shouldn't be in any pain the only thing i could think of is they have him sedated because of the breathing tube ... they did a cat scan yesterday that showed he had very little fat cells? They did another cat scan today that showed swelling of the brain, which I dont understand why... the surgery was in his chest and shouldn't have any affect on his brain. unless something went wrong during surgery,maybe a blood clot?. The thing is im not sure why they havent done an e.e.g to see if his brain is having any activity at all.. because im beginning to think he might be brain dead?..
basically Im worried if maybe the doctors aren't telling me the truth or at least the whole truth. With the way I'm describing things what do you think could be going on?
