Pam,
I haven’t been on the board for a while. I wish the best for Lauren. You’re a magnificent mother. We know that. She knows that.Wishing blessings to you and Lauren.
DianeI had my husband’s wedding ring made into a pendant which I wear always on a chain around my neck. He passed in 2008 from cholangiocarcinoma.
Love, DianeMy dearest Percy,
Please accept my deepest sympathy on the passing of your dear Helen.
Sincerely,
Diane C.Dear Lorraine — I live in the Northwest (Redmond). You are in good hands with SCCA. One of the best comprehensive cancer centers around. I’m sorry you are having to go through this ordeal.
DianeDearest Byron — your wife is a gem. She knows what’s best for her precious husband. Go and enjoy yourself. Please keep us posted on all the details of this upcoming spring vacation.
xoxo
DianeHi Janet – glad you’ve made your way to us. This is an outstanding group.
In 2006 we were in the hopes that my husband Brad would be a candidate for a liver transplant at Mayo. He was under the care of Dr. Gores. One of the first visits we received was from the financial dept. at Mayo, who informed us that we were responsible for the cost of transplant. My husband had Medicare and Aetna insurance. They would not pay as the transplant for CC was considered experimental. Things may have changed since then, so it may be best if you contact Mayo. They will have the complete information.
Unfortunately, Brad’s CC had metastasized to the lymph nodes, which excluded him from transplant.
I’m thinking of you and your husband, Janet.

DianeDear Byron – Agree completely with Marion’s comment that not everyone responds to a particular chemo.
You’re one tough (and sensitive
) guy. I’m rooting for you!

DianeDear Janine — I wish I’d read your personal blog before I responded to your post. It’s clear you know what you’re up against and how to proceed. Sounds like you have a great team supporting you.
There will be more forum members checking in here soon.

DianeWelcome, Janine. You’ll find a friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable family here.
Will your oncologist or primary contact your insurance company for an off-label approval? My husband had a similar dilemma, and ultimately insurance ok’d the off-label use of a particular drug.
I’m wishing only the best for you,
DianeDearest Kathy, words cannot express how I feel about the loss of your sweet and precious father.
You were an extraordinary daughter. Why wouldn’t you be? You had an extraordinary dad who loved you and taught you well.
My sympathy, Kathy.
Love, DianeDear Tom — you’re the best. It’s not easy being a caregiver. You and Ben are fortunate to have each other.
Please let us know what the docs say today.
xoxo
Diane
(P.S. I love Ft. Lauderdale)
