Kris,
I wish I had words of wisdom for you now. You’ve done this long enough that you are able to make your own best decision, and I know you’ll do it again this time. Sending you strength, peace and continued prayers for healing….

I hope you feel better quickly and I hope that you will be strong enough to explore the the new treatment options. Whatever life gives you enjoy and make happy memories.

DarlaNovember 1, 2010 at 5:11 pm #43574cherbourgSpectatorKris,
What a gift to have such a compassionate and caring oncologist! You will make the decisions that are RIGHT for YOU.
I stand in awe of your courage, strength and compassion. I’m so glad your sister was able to come and be with you when your Mom had to return home. Hans, I know continues to be a rock!
Give your body a little time. I believe you will get stronger and feel better now that the drain seems to be working.
We are all cheering you on from this side of the big water!
Hugs to you all!

November 1, 2010 at 4:54 pm #43572jennifersMemberI am at a loss of words right now Kris, but know that I am thinking and praying for you and your family every day, hoping that you find something that works, and peace in the decisions you make. You deserved to have a little cry, and I’m glad your sister was there for you.
Thinking of you always.

November 1, 2010 at 4:46 pm #4246devoncatSpectatorI am still in the hospital, but I get day passes sometimes. My drain is working for the most part. I am still very tired and have little energy.
My oncologist and I had a talk today. She is worried about starting chemo again. She was worried that it will do more harm than good. I guess I wasnt ready to throw in the towel just yet. When I said I wanted chemo, she smiled and you could tell she was happy with my decision. I cried a bit in this meeting. It is hard to hear that you are so close to death. She said I was a special patient and that she wanted to do what was best for me both physically and mentally. I will start chemo on Wednesday with the agreement that I will stop if things dont go well.
We are currently looking into hyperthermia treatments in Germany. We will see. We are gathering and translating my records and scans. I am concerned with the cost, but what if it gives me 6 more months? What is that worth? To be frank, I am not sure. There is a chance the swedish government will pay and we are looking into that.
My sister is here and we are just hanging out, sleeping, and watching tv. I was glad she was there when the oncologist came to talk. We both had a little cry.
It has been a difficult day.
Kris
