Just Call Me Numb

I am so, so sorry to hear all of this. You would have to be numb to deal with it. I don't even know what to say. I hope they can come up with a plan for your hubby that will help him and not endanger his life. I hope the same for JBG. All of you are in my thoughts (prayers, too). It is just too, too much. Back in 2000 my husband had cancer (mesothelioma, no treatment offered) and my mom was in critical condition with respiratory failure. It was too much. I remember one time I was driving along to one of the hospitals and I just stopped in the road and got out and screamed and screamed and screamed. People must have thought I had lost my mind. Actually, I was trying to prevent just that! So some of what you're going through, I understand. But to have your husband and daughter going through so much at the same time? I can't comprehend that. I just wish there was some way I could help.

I just hope you know how much you are all cared for here. And I hope you can log on and vent and let us support you in any way we can here. Hang in there. You are strong and you will get through this. Take care of yourself, too.

Hugs,

Sandy 

Wolfen,

Just breathe slow and take one minute at a time, then you can work up to an hour at a time and a day at a time. 

I'm here thinking of your family, and hoping for the best in all situations.

Hugs to you all,

Winter Marie

Thanks So Much Winter

I know you're fighting your own beast again. I am feeling a little better and as soon as I get 100% again, I'll be able to assimilate all this. It is almost impossible to get timely appts. with different specialists who have privileges at the hospital adjacent to MDA, which is the only place MDA will crossover to. That part is quite frustrating. I know that as cancer patients, many of you must face this dilemma. So, I had to choose by immediate availability, rather than by hospital. He can't wait another month to see the darn urologist.

We're just hangin' by our toes here. If I can just keep him out of emg. for another week........................

Anyway, just thanks for being "you".

The other ditzy blond.

Luv,

Wolfen

Wolfen, I am praying for you and your family.  I wish there was something I could say to comfort you.  Please just know that you are a special person and that you are handling everything in an amazing way.  Many would have cracked under the pressure.  Don't worry, me and JBG have each other's backs as we are going through smiliar situations.  You take care of yourself too.  Its important.

I am so sorry to hear this. Yes, there are things than my fiance and me going thru this cancer crap; it would be having one of our children having to go thru this cancer crap. I hope I never have to. There is nothing I can say. Last year my 21 year old daughter found a breast lump. She went to her doctor who sent her immediately for an ultrasound. I was petrified (her father's side of the family has had every female I know of diagnosed at some point with breast cancer, so obviously there are probably genetics involved). Thankfully it was not cancerous, but I made out a family history of cancer for her doctor to put in her patient file. Now she has to add colon cancer on my side of the family. Again, there is nothing I can say, but I will be praying for your daughter. It sounds like she is a fighter and has a great caregiver! Keep fighting!

I don't get the long wait to see urologists.....my dad was hospitalized just after Christmas with pneumonia,  his feet etc. were all swollen due to heart issues he has...on top of that he needed to be catherized because he couldn't pee....the pneumonia cleared up and they sent him home,  he's  90 lives by himself,   with follow up appts. for his cardiologist....and he's still catheterized waiting  till March to see a urologist!!!     Hugs to you Wolfen.    I wonder if they do chemo.  do they use the same chemo. for the two different types of cancer.   Seems they use I think 5FU for different types of cancer.   

You seem like a very strong lady, Wolfen, but everyone has their breaking point. Please try to take care of yourself, give yourself an occasional break, if you possibly can.  I'm glad your son is there to help (funny how good the so-called "bad kids" can often turn out-have a few of those in our family).   Sending strength your way~Ann Alexandria

Oh Wolfen, I've been trying all day to think of something to say to ease your pain, but I just can't seem to find any words...  I'm so sorry, I wish I could help you and your family.  

Try to get some rest dear,

Cyn

that you & hubby are going thru such a rough time. know that both of you are in my prayers everyday.

hugs
