Beautiful flowers! Thank you! I'm very late in Thanking those special people here on YT for the beautiful flowers I received! I can't express what a nice surprise it was! Thank you Charlotte, Dawn, Linda, Theresa, Jean, Nicole and Steph!!!! You women are amazing and as the flowers dried they are still beautiful as a dried arrangment. They put a smile on my face everyday as I'm amazed at how thoughtful you are!! Thank you so very, very much!!!!! I'm sorry I have been MIA for a while. CJ's attitude is of defeat, and I've been working hard to keep his spirits up. He falls a lot more now, and forgets to let me know when he's going to get up so I have to watch him like a hawk. I usually can't get to him fast enough if I'm on the puter, so I've just been sitting with him. I thought I'd take some time while he's sleeping to thank you all for your special thoughts and prayers. The biopsy is back and confimed metastisis from his Esophageal Cancer. He starts Radiation today, which is supposed to help the pain. Chemo is expected but not scheduled as of today. It is scary to watch him getting weaker, and more frail every day. Hugs to all and Thank you! |
Deb i am so sorry CJ & you are going through this very difficult time it is very hard to watch your soulmate in so much pain and you can do nothing to help them, just keep praying that God will give you strength to get through another day. hugs to you both |
Deb, I will continue to keep you both in my prayer's. I hope the radiation helps with his pain. My heart goes out to you. Hugs, |
Deb, my thoughts and prayers are with you and CJ as you go through these difficult times. We will still pray for that miracle that CJ will start showing improvement and that he will gain the strength needed to fight this. Hugs. |
You are both in my prayers at this most difficult time. |
I am just seeing this and I am so sorry. You both will be in my thoughts. |
I'm glad the flowers cheered you but I know we all wish we could do more. I'm so sorry that your hubby is feeling so defeated. I will continue to keep him in prayers and hope that he will feel the healing presence of God around him. |
You're in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time. May you find comfort just by knowing others really care. God bless you both. |
Deb, thanks for keeping us updated. I am praying that CJ will show improvement and not feel defeated. Please know that a lot of people here on YT are praying for you and CJ and know that we care. Hugs, Jean |
I'm thinking about all of you and praying Hi Deb, I'm so sorry about the results. You just never know what's going to happen from day to day. Remember, God knows what he's doing, sometimes it's very hard to realize at the time. Maybe, you can understand from my point of view. Get the radiation started and Chemo. I know it very hard to watch someone you love so dearly, suffer. I will be keeping both of you in my prayers for the strength you'll need to fight this battle. Talk to you soon, Katleen.. Mom To My Little Girls: Punken Pie Breese Be Be Lil Ol Tuffy.. RIP |
Update 1 Attachment(s) I'm sorry I've been MIA for some time now. But I wanted to Thank you for your very kind emails, PM's, phone calls and your thoughts and prayers! I thought I'd grab a few minutes to read up on things and Wish You All A Merry Christmas! CJ's been on Radiation now for almost 3 weeks. He is starting to get some pain relief from the Radiation, but pain now has started in his neck, down the shoulder and down his arm. He can't get Radiation in his neck (where another tumor was found) because he's already had his lifetime dose with his last Cancer. It just doesn't seem to give him a break. I feel so bad for him! The Dr is a little worried he may fall and break a rib.. or NECK.. eeeek!! Since the bones are fragile both from previous Radiation and bone deterioration from Cancer. I am a nervous wreck, following him around so when he gets weak or stumbles that I am there to catch him. CJ asked the Dr how long he might have, and she said about a year.. but reminded him that he's had pain already for a year.. I was too afraid to ask what that might mean... Thank God for 2 women that are helping me with my Yorkies and my son for helping me with the farm. During CJ's naps I get some joy playing with my puppies. I am so very happy with the puppies that my Champion Rowdy is having! It was funny that CJ's Oncologist told him that he had the best anti-anxiety right at home... to love on a puppy.. Now, she's one smart Dr... :D |
Deb, thank you so much for the update. I think of your husband often and what he and you are going through. I will continue to pray that you both have the strength to get through this. I am glad you have some wonderful people helping you. Your babies are adorable and I am sure they bring much sunshine into your life. I am still praying for that miracle for your husband. Hugs. |
Look at those beautiful puppies. I am so happy he finds comfort in them and the other's at your home. 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. Hugs, |
Oh Deb, wish I could help Quote:
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... :thinking: 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.. :sidesplt: 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. |
