Feeling Sad

Thank you all for your generous prayers and loving thoughts! I heard news about my friend and am very sad to say that there is nothing more that can be done. Her doctor doesn't want her to undergo chemo again because it will accelerate the cancer growth. (Does anyone understand that reasoning?) She is in so much pain and I wish there was something more I could do for her. She was the first person I met who was fighting the same demon, just with a different face. She understood what I was going through and helped me to understand. I don't know how much longer she has. All I can do is pray for a miracle for her and be there as her sister.

Thank you all for your support!
God Bless! Sherry

    Hi Sherry
    I am really sorry to hear about your friend. It is really hard to watch someone you care about go thru such an ordeal.

    If there is nothing more that can be done for her, would she consider a hospice referral? Hospice nurses number 1 will get her pain under control. There is no reason that she has to be uncomfortable. There are lots of meds out there that can be given in many different ways that wont sedate her too much. There are also a ton of benefits under hospice I believe such as medical equipment, aide help for personal care, respite care for families, counseling by social workers and clergy. If she would agree she could get a hospice rn to come and discuss the benefit to her. She just needs to discuss it with her doctor and he needs to make the referral. It may not be the easiest discussion to have, but it will give her valuable information.

    I will be thinking of you both

    Hugs

    It breaks my heart about the
    It breaks my heart about the news of your friend. I also hope she avails herself of hospice care; the pain can indeed be lessened, and she can end her days in relative peace surrounded by a caring,loving group of hospice caregivers. They are a special g roup of angels, to be sure.

    Thank you for being such a good friend to her; you have been a blessing to her.

    Hugs,
