Thinking of you and Ken...each and every day...and praying for that miracle! Love you! |
Thanks. Ken had the brain MRi and his staples out today. He is so tired and weak. We have to be at the downtown hospital tomorrow morning at 7:15 so he will not get much sleep tonight. They gave him oxygen during the MRI but he said it didn't help his breathing. I think if he could get some sleep he would feel better. But he can't breathe when he lays down. I hope tomorrow is the end of the testing and dr visits and he can start treatment. We appreciate the prayers and thoughts so much. |
I just cannot even imagine how difficult things are for you both right now. Continuing the prayers and positive thoughts. |
Praying for you and your husband. |
Patti, my heart aches for you guys right now. You might check with one of his doctor's to see if they can order some home care things for him, like an adjustable bed that head can be elevated, or a recliner, and maybe portable oxygen. I hope he has some relieve and can sleep and breathe soon. Hugs to you both! |
I hope you can get some things as Sandy suggested to help Ken rest comfortably at home. Continuing to pray for Ken and you. {{{{hugs}}}} |
Patti, I am just seeing this now and I am so very sorry you and your husband are going through all of this. :ghug: I just wanted to give you a story of hope: My sister-in-law's mother was diagnosed several years ago with lung cancer (not sure of exact type) and she was given 3 months without chemo and 6 months with chemo. She is a very positive woman and so is all of her family and friends and the power of prayer went to work....well that was 5 or 6 years ago and she is still going strong!! I think prayer and a positive attitude can kill the cancer!!! You and your husband sound like fighters and I know you will fight this and come out the winners!! **Regarding the sleeping laying down-do you have a good reclining chair? A neighbor of ours had throat cancer and we all pitched in and got him a really good reclining chair and he slept in that through most of his treatments when he was home because he could not sleep laying down either. Your DH could then use it to go back as far as he can to be comfortable and then maybe he will be able to get a little more sleep. I am praying for you both and your families to stay strong!! |
I'm so sorry your going through this. Sending positive thoughts and energy to both of you. XOXO |
Sending daily prayers to both of you. |
Thanks so much for all the positive thoughts, stories and prayers. They are helping. We met with the oncologist downtown today and although a radiologist hasn't read the brain scan the oncologist and fellow said it looked good to them but a radiologist would read it. They discussed a couple of options and we are going with one that is given 2 times in a 3 week period for 4 periods. This does not have as bad of side effects and he will not lose his hair. We have decided to start treatment with them even though it is downtown Chicago and about an hour drive. We have the name of another oncologist who is closer but for now we will go downtown. I can't tell you how much it means to us to come n here and read your posts. Ann thank you for the positive story. |
Good luck you will be in our thoughts and prayers! Please keep us updated!!! |
Sending good thoughts and continued prayers to you and your husband. |
Hugs and prayers are still going out to you and Ken. Remember, just stay focused on "Going for the Cure". Glad there is a chemo that has less side effects, but one thing to know is that even losing hair isn't all that bad (especially for a man), and it's temporary and usually comes back fuller, thicker and better than before. |
You all are in my prayers every day and it sounds like you are fighting this from all angles. Stay close to God, keep your fighting spirit and know how many people are pulling for him. |
Patti just know that Ken and you still remain in my prayers. When does he start treatment? |
