well cancer is back for the holidays

I'm so very sorry to hear how hard this chemo is treating her already. I do understand what you are going though. I am currently helping a friend by being with him though his chemo treatments and I know he has a hard road ahead. Please know I have been keeping your family in my prayers and just keep on fighting, I am fighting for all of you!
 
Having watched loved ones go through chemo, I know what you are experiencing. It is difficult.

I have high hopes that she will respond well....chemo is sort of evil in that good, effective chemo gets awfully close to killing you.

That's getting better so hopefully, in the future, our children will not have to suffer this way.

Your wife is officially one of my heroes.
 
Keeping you and Nora and the family in my prayers. I know some very good people in Wisconsin who have been through cancer if you're anywhere near Ellsworth; if so, shoot me a PM.
 
<3 <3 <3 I hope she gets better!! You, your wife and fam will be in many people's hearts. I hope our prayers and compassion lead you wife to good health <3
 
Just thought I would give an update. So far so good. She has gone through round one and now we have completed the first day of round two. She is now off for a week and then next Tuesday she has the next treatment for round 2. After that we get a ct scan to see if there is any effect. Her heart is fine and her white counts are low but not critically so. Very stressful right now, but ever hopeful:)
 
i wanted to pm you but was afraid to do so.:eek: I am so happy and relived to know it is currently so fat so good. You are still in my prayers & the prayers of my whole church.
 
Glad to hear that your wife is doing well with the chemo so far. I accompany a friend though his chemo treatments and he will start round 3 tomorrow. Please keep us posted on what the CT shows. Tell your wife we are pulling and fighting for her.
 
Thanks everyone!

@Laurie Pm me any time. No need to fear. What will be will be:)

@K9Luvn I hope your friend comes out on the other side with Aplomb :)

im glad things are going ok for you and your wife. i will be praying aswell for her.
 
I have been away from the forums for a while i still lurk, but not much posting. i thought i would update this thread as so many were giving my family good wishes and they are so needed and appreciated. The Chemo that my wife has been on for the past 6 months has not worked and the cancer has attached itself to the spleen and the lymph nodes. She is trying a new regime of treatment, but it only has a 20% chance of working and even if it does work it will only extend life for 10 to 15 months. I guess that is better than nothing, but it is sooooo short! I know that no matter how this ends, it will eventually end the same way. Death is inevitable for all and i should be ok with that. But I am not. God help me I am so sad right now.
 
Dave, I am so deeply sorry. We have nursed two family members through cancer, so I have an inkling of how things may be for you at the moment.

I have no words to make this easier, but you are not alone. I hope you all have friends and family who know you well enough to know when to step in and when to step back. Keep chatting on here, as much or as little as you like. It may be a useful neutral outlet to use.
 
Oh Dave I am so sorry. I know we have talked and I haven't got ahold of you recently. How are you and the kids doing? i know how hard it is for kids to watch this. maybe even impossible for them to understand. But I am here to talk, so I want to hear from you.
 
I am so terribly sorry for you and your family. Please try to enjoy these last months with your wife and create some family memories that your kids can hold onto in the future. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help - I'm in FL, but am a great listener if that's what you need.

Michelle
 
Dave, My heart goes out to you and your family. I am so sorry that things have turned in the wrong direction. Damn this disease. We are all effected by it in some way. I will continue to pray for your wife and all of you.
 
I too offer my support through this difficult time. I haven't been what you are going through and will not pretend to understand.

Hopefully, our collective will to see your wife better will help in some way. We're all routing for you both :)
