Hi All,

My Dr. got a early look at the path report and it is mets.

I really don't have much else to say right now.

Love you all,
Kath

    Hello Kathy,

    I don’t post often, but have been following your journey. I am sorry to hear of this setback. I will add you and Al to my special prayer list as you battle this.

    My husband could not have the surgery due to risks, but did have the chemo/rad and has been cancer free since March. Thankfully, he was dx in an early stage with no nodes or mets. He is doing and feeling great. Please try to keep in mind that these alternative treatments can and do work.

    Best Regards,
    M

    shocked and sorry
    Kath,
    I just wanted to post that you and AL are still in our prayers even though this isn't the news we all wanted to hear. I can't believe how much it hurts to read your post and we've never met---but we---this EC "family" has a bond that is unique. I can't make you or Al feel better right now---but want you to know that we care and will continue to do so---no matter what.

    Discouraged
    Hi.

    I know that all of you are here for us but right now I am very discouraged. I keep praying and
    praying that the Drs will be ready with a game plan on Wed the 6th.

    I am tryping to be positive as the New Year is knocking on our door. It is very difficult.

    I don't want to bring anyone down. I am not giving up hope. I am just a little depressed right now.

    I will never give up on Al or on the hope that things will change. I am just having a difficult moment.

    Thanks for you support.

    God Bless, Happy New Year

    Kath,
    You are entitled to have plenty of difficult moments. Of course you can/will depressed.

    I know when we got the news on the 3rd of december it was EC and my dad needed surgery and they were going to do it on the 7th of december, we were shocked. It has hit us soo fast we didnt have time for it to set in. Now that he had surgery, my mom and I had soooo many breakdowns because we havent had the chance for it too sink it, it moved so fast.. (DR, DR, scope, and then surgery all in the matter of 2wks). Of course not in front of him. We just dont know what to expect and dont like the unknown.
    Now, take some deep breaths and put your head up high and continue to FIGHT strong and hard.

    I know you have it in you, and so does AL. You both came so far.

    Ill be thinking of you and Al and I hope that, new year brings alot of GREAT NEWS!

    God Bless,
    Tina

    Don't you worry, you are doing amazingly well under the circumstances. We all have those moments. I have those moments, William has those moments, we all do. And sometimes, life is just exceedingly painful and your heart just cries out. And that is OKAY. Don't you ever feel you have to be any certain way or handle things in any certain way around us. We understand, and we love you both.

    Sending you my prayers, and my love,
    Betty

    Dear Kathy and Al,
    Happy New
    Dear Kathy and Al,
    Happy New Year to you both. I am sorry to hear your recent news, but just in this short time of knowing you through this site, I know that you are both very strong faithful people. This is the time for you both to lean on our Lord. Come to me all that are heavy laden, and I will comfort you. You both beat this once, you can beat it again. My dad and I have to put our boxing gloves on again too. Lesions found on his liver. I will be praying for you and Al daily. Please keep us posted. Sending love and hugs your way.
    Tina
