Cancer in your life or the lives of your dearest?
loneleeb3:
Hey Y'all!
Thanks for the prayers and good thoughts!
The new regimine seems to be working on the cancer it is keeping it in check and some of his levels have dropped. However the toll it is taking on his body is worse. So I guess it's a trade off.
Hopefully he can regain some strength when he gets off this round of treatments.
We should know somthing by Tursday as he goes abck to the Dr Wednesday.

loneleeb, I am sorry to hear about your dad. My mom was diagnosed with colon cancer in the spring of 2002, but unfortunately the chemo and medication she was taking did not help in the long run. She passed away in October, 2002. She was 77 years old. She lived in Connecticut, and I live here in Florida. Luckily, I was able to get up to see her at the end of September, 2002 before she passed on. Me and my sisters knew she didn't have long to go, since Hospice was called in to assist us. It was probably the most difficult thing I've ever had to deal with in my life. My dad passed away in 1990 due to some heart disease problems. You never think of being without your parents, no matter how old you get. They're always Mom & Dad, and you just take for granted they're always going to be around. It's a real eye-opener when you realize that both your parents are gone, and you are truly now "on your own" without Mom and/or Dad around to advise you.

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, loneleeb,I can understand what you're going through, to see that the chemo is working, but on the other hand seeing him suffer terribly from it. I'm sending you and your Dad lots of positive and healing energy..... :-*
My sister, who is 34, was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma half a year ago and has just undergone her 11th chemo and it's wearing her down, she has lost almost all her hair now and feels tired almost all the time. But she is fighting so hard and I'm so proud of her, we're very positive about a good outcome. She will have her second CT scan at the end of the month, so I hope I can get people from all over the world to keep their fingers crossed for her for the day she gets the results!
