Thank you everyone for the kind words and support.

@Marion, I believe that there has been a misunderstanding about chemo and pain. Until recently, my uncle hasn’t wanted anyone to go to the doctor with him. It was a little frustrating for us because we knew he hadn’t really heard anything the doctor said beyond ‘cancer’. But now my father (his brother) goes with him and writes things down. And I will definitely look into forwarding his records.

@mn, thank you for sharing Lily’s story. I definitely have to tell my uncle about that case.

@Gavin, thank you for sharing your experience with your dad – I am getting all of the positive stories together to give him to read b/c I think it would really boost his spirits. My uncle is on pain meds now; he’s just stubborn and doesn’t like to take them, but he’s taking them now.

@Nancy, thank you for sharing your husband’s story and your kind words.

We should hear early next week exactly where the cancer is at; I will definitely post more information when I get it. Thanks again to everyone for your effort and input.
