Thinking of you and Ken hugs to both of you

Maximo · 04-02-2012, 06:33 PM

Sending prayers for strength, comfort, and healing for Ken. Patti, you and your husband are in my thoughts every day.

Patti · 04-03-2012, 11:22 AM

Thanks. Just a brief update. We saw the radiologist yesterday and he was surprised that Ken had had no relief from his back pain the 2 weeks of radiation. He has 2 more treatments left. I asked about a procedure where they put medical cement in the space that is collapsed in his vertabrea so they set up an appt for next week with an interventional radiologist. Ken is down to 103 lbs. Chemo starts up 4/13. Prayers are so appreciated.

I have been where you are, battling cancer in a loved one, and it is such a heavy, heavy burden for both of you. I am praying for relief from the pain this terrible disease is causing your DH, and I am praying for comfort and strength for you. You have to lean on Him for support and He will get you both through this dreadful time.

Thank you so much. It is the worst thing we have ever been through.

Patti · 04-03-2012, 02:15 PM

They just called and moved the appt with he interventional radiologist to tomorrow. So hopefully we will know more tomorrow and find out if Ken can have the procedure and get some pain relief.

Patti, words simply cannot express how sad I am that you and Ken are going through this. Having walked in your shoes, I know all too well what it is like.

I will continue to keep you both in my thoughts and prayers. Sending hugs too!

yorkietalkjilly · 04-03-2012, 02:22 PM

I was just crushed to read about Ken's weight and all the continuing pain. That poor, sweet man. I cannot even imagine what he's going through and you, Patti, as his wife and caregiver. And your own tests ahead to worry about. I'm praying so hard that his doctors can find a new protocol or something to do that can really help him and give him a reason for hope. And of course I pray your results are completely negative and the statement "return in one year for follow-up". If there is anything more I can do, please PM me. You all are never far out of my thoughts. God go with you.

gidget529 · 04-03-2012, 04:14 PM

Patti, I am so sorry Ken is still in pain and has lost so much weight. We also have had cancer in our family, and it almost feels like you're fighting in a war/combat. We will continue to keep both of you in our prayers.

Patti · 04-03-2012, 07:35 PM

Thanks so much. Ken has had a really bad evening. He so needs a break.

AbbysMom08 · 04-03-2012, 07:53 PM

Patti,

I'm so sorry to hear that Ken is in so much pain.
I hope he will be able to obtain some relief very soon.
Continued prayers for the both of you.

Patti, look up the K-laser & talk to a Dr who uses it to see if this is something that could be used for Ken. I have K-laser treatments for severe back & pelvic pain & it is Miraculous.

Lisa and Pic · 04-04-2012, 02:37 AM

Continuing thoughts and prayers for you both....

mugwee1 · 04-04-2012, 02:52 AM

Continured prayers for you and Ken. Have they suggested the Morphine pump yet? It does give relief but makes them Sleep, Three of my sister's had it when the pain was un bearable.
