Radiation does take it's toll on the body. Being exhusted is a side effect
of course but weekness can be also as well as loss of appitite.
It's heartbreaking to go threw this I know. I lost my husband at 49 and
that was 22yrs ago from a brain tumor. He was given 9mos but passed
after 13mos. Please remember to take care of yourself as well. Being
the care giver it's easy to forget about that. Bone cancer, I"m told
is very painful and that's heartbreaking in it's self with all else that
goes along with any type of cancer.
I pray for his comfort and strength for you.

Hi Carol,
I'm so sorry about your husband. My sister had bone cancer (42) and I sure can relate to what you went through. Chemo and Radiation take their tole on the body.
Deb, if the doctor's say anything about surgery on any radiated area think twice before this is done. My sister Anne, had to have a hip replacement in the area that was radiated.... Not good. My cousin, Tom, Oncologist says... Not or if life threating. Ready for this, one of his students is my oncologist at City Of Hope.
My doctor's got together last Friday and was wanted two surgeries before Christmas, one this week and one next. waiting on a call now.
Trying to decide on how to handle, can't crack the chest again because of the radiation I received already. Having to do a by-pass through the arteries, this should be interesting... To say the least, I haven't called the oncology yet. The vascular guy is handling. The lymph tissue it encompassing the arteries and cutting off blow flow. No wonder I can't think...
So far so good, just dizziness now.
Deb, do I have the story for you. I had one surgery a week last Monday.. Big Problem.. This is one that have to do over.
I'll talk to you soon, I would have just messaged but short on time. Too confusing right now.. took much to think about..
Please......... Take care of yourself.. I'll be putting out the Big Prayers Now.
I've added CJ to Miracles at Christmas my pray list that was started for me 5 years ago.. I'll more him to the head of list.
God Bless All of You,
Wish I were closer to help but let me know if you need anything thing.
