in Colorectal Cancer #1
Hello all.so sorry for not posting sooner.I am staying in our camper near the hospital where Dennis is and no internet. Dennis is out of IKCU and all the procedures in the last 2 weeks have failed. He also has got a nasty bacterial infection. £hey have talked to us about hospice. We have chosen to go home where he is more comfortable that should occur end of week as we have a lot to set up.This all sucks and I am scared. I am trying so hard to be strong for him I pray I can do this for him.I want to thank. All of you for all the years of support you all have gave me. Love you all..Patti

    Patti1 -

    Take a look here:

    The Syracuse Cancer Research Institute

    Although I'm an advocate for Traditional Chinese Medicine,
    I have this chemical (HS) on hand, just in case everything else
    fails. It's -very- inexpensive.

    (The center does not sell anything; it is a non-profit)

    Don't ever give up. There are more options that you would
    believe, and at this juncture, anything is worth a try.

    Dennis is Home
    Just a quick update, and a big thank you for all of your prayers and kind words. Dennis is home now, and Hospice is here helping us all out, they are angels in disguise. Dennis is happy to be home, as that is what he expressed to me in the hospital,is that he wanted to go home. He seems to be at peace here at home and they are doing a wonderful job in controlling his pain. I am giving it all that I have, I think im half numb. After being a caregiver for 5 years, I always saw light end the end of the tunnel, this time the tunnel is dark. Thank you all again for the strength you all give me.
