in Breast Cancer #1
Hello everyone again, I'm sorry that I have been gone so long. I have been trying to get things in order at home and things just seem to be getting worse now that Lesley is gone. I just wanted to thank everyone for their support during the time of Lesley's last days and all the great advice and support I received. This group is great and you all are very loving and kind hearted.

Now that I have my oldest son from my first marriage living with us (6 kids at home), his grandmother has been diagnosed with breast cancer stage 3 with two kinds of cancer. I have not been given the information as to what types, but I do know that she is 57 and had a bilateral and it was discovered that the cancer had spread into her chest wall and will now begin chemo.

Look forward to reconnecting with all of you and continue to pray to end this horrible thing of cancer.

Thomas

    Hello, Thomas
    My beloved Moopy was diagnosed with liver metastasis on January 12, had chemo that night, and passed away on the morning of January 14. Words can't describe the desolation inside me right now. I'm functioning, but I'm not sure how. I can't even guess what it's like trying to be a single Dad of six! Let's hang in there... I'm sure that Lesley told you just as Moopy told me, that giving up is NEVER an option.

    God Bless,
    Joe

    Thank you for your post. I've thought about you, your family, and Lesley often. So sorry to hear the news about your son's grandmother. Having this ugly disease back in your life has got to be devastating to you emotionally and must dredge up many frightening memories. I hope you and your children have formed a united front in support of your son and his grandmother.

    We're here for yu. Please encourage your former MIL to join us for support as well.

    Welcome
    back Thomas. Sounds like you have quite a household now. I'm sorry to hear about your son's grandmother. I will pray for a positive outcome. I had bilateral mastectomy last June at 62 and I'm doing ok now. So good to hear from you again.
