Here's an update... No News! I insisted on going to the doctor appointment with my Mom & Dad, both insisted I didn't need to. The urologist said to wait, the oncologist said he'd consult the doctor that put the implants in and get her opinion and the 3 of them would have a "chat" to see what the problem may be, or if there is a solution. So in otherwords, nothing is happening. I told my parents it would take at least a couple of months to get any answer from 3 doctors. My Dad doesn't seem too concerned. They treated him for a UTI and he seems to have felt better, more energy and happier, but he still has difficulty sitting for any length of time - apparently this is due to the catheter.
At this point there is nothing I can do. You can only help someone if they want the help. Both of my parents tend to accept things as they come, and neither one of them have any fight in them. They accept their ailments and feel there is nothing they can do to better themselves or their illnesses.
I will post any significant updates as they come, but I don't expect to get any great news for some time.
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and all the best of 2009 to you.
