Kelly, my husband did really, really well on Kytril 1mg. (granisetron HCI). Now, if I remember correctly, he said that the Onocologist gave him as many samples as they had because it was an extremely expensive prescription that our insurance didn’t cover…and we have really good insurance. Best wishes,
Heather
Lisa, Please know that Em and I will be sending up a very special prayer for you today….God has been with my family and I every step of the way..I can see His powerful hand in every day life leading us…especially when I feel like I can’t go on anymore. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Phillipians 4:13.
Love,
HeatherKaren, I was in your very shoes one month ago. I traded hands with Jesus and let my beloved Lee go home. You are so very right when you say Praise be to God….my love and your love are now together having the time of their lives. Perfect Paradise…with our Savior. Prayers of hope, comfort, strength are coming straight to you now.
Love,
HeatherPraise God from whom all blessings flow! Isn’t God good!? There is a song sung by the Christian group Casting Crowns called “Praise Him in the Storm”.
I think this would be a great time to do so! What wonderful news…doesn’t it just feel soooo good!? ENJOY!Love,
HeatherI’m so sorry as well Teresa. I hope that you know that we are all at different stages of grieving the loss of our loved one…but nontheless…we know what you are going through..and for me..when I know that someone else knows exactly how I’m feeling and can come up to bat for me swinging…it gives me more hope to take the next step forward. It will be one month, one week tomorrow since my husband passed, and I swear, Friday’s will NEVER be the same. But some day they will, they will have to be..because as strong as we were while our loved one’s were sick, we will one day feel that strength again….even though we ought to consider ourselves super-heros for surviving! You will be in me and Em’s prayer’s tonite!
Love,
HeatherI am truly grateful for you all…I know why I can’t let go…I need you all to help me heal! What an incredible, incredible blessing!
Love,
HeatherHow very blessed your wonderful mother was to have such an awesome daughter like you! I lost my dad to a very rare form of throat cancer almost four years ago now, and lost my beloved husband one month, one week ago tomorrow to this horrific disease. I know exactly the pain you are feeling…please know that you are not alone. I know that sometimes no matter what we say, do or think, there will never be enough hope to get us through another second of the day…but some how, some way…I like to believe it is God’s grace showering upon me that I find within myself the power to go on and think of all the wonderfully fun times we had together, especially with our daughter. You have most definitely come to the best place ever to heal!
Love,
Heatherljg…you are absolutely right…survive…that is all I am doing right now..simply putting one foot in front of the other and hoping I make it through the next five minutes…I don’t know why, but I have this urgency to get the grieving over…just deal with it and get on with it. I’m sure it is because it is so painful and having to face another day yet alone another few minutes is sheer and utter torture. And ya know what…that is exactly what I think is happening during this season of grieving…I am learning for the first time in my life to live for RIGHT NOW. I can’t even begin to think of what will happen in an hour. I’m actually forced to live more aware, more compassionate, braver and stronger than I have ever had to be. I just don’t know what plan the dear Lord above has for me without my Lee and Em’s daddy…but it must be pretty big..because each day, I am a teeny tiny bit better. Thank you for comments…everyone! I hold on to them like a little one holds on to her teddy bear at night. God bless you all.
Love,
HeatherJennifer…My daughter Emilee and I lost the most amazing man in our lives just one month ago to this horrible monster. I cannot tell you how sorry I am for your loss…I also lost my dad to a rare form of throat cancer three years ago..but during that time, I didn’t have a place like this to turn to. My very best friend in the world sent the email address to me just hours after my husband was diagnosised one year ago. I don’t…let me rephrase that..I know I couldn’t have gotten through it all without all of the wonderful people on this site. They have helped me every step of the way and now are helping me to heal and put one foot in front of the other after Lee’s passing. God has put you here with us for you…welcome.
Love,
HeatherWhen I got home last night and came to the site…my heart was uplifted. I can’t tell how much it meant to me to hear from all of you…the comfort I get in knowing that we are truly going through the exact same thing made me give praise to God that He has sent all of you into my life to get stronger and better every day. My support system here at home is absolutely amazing…but again…no matter how hard they try..they aren’t like we are…they haven’t lived this nightmare and are slowly but surely coming out at the other end. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you…the sun is shining right now on this beautiful Sunday morning…and I feel a sisterhood among us that truly is a blessing. I pray for strength, comfort and hope for all of you and pray that as you go through this time you know that God is holding you every step of the way.
Love,
HeatherOOOOPPPS!! Sorry, I forgot to tell you that two of Lee’s favorite things to eat were coconut cream pie, and carrot cake with cream cheese frosting! Anything sweet…and loaded with sugar…all the stuff mom’s tell you to stay away from!

Hi Freddy! My name is Heather and when I found out that my husband had cholangiocarcinoma I cried and cried too! My church prayed for Lee as well! Three times actually…almost 400 people! I believe in God and the miracles he does every single day…ya know what? One of those miracles I’m talking about is you! You are a brave boy who loves his mom to pieces! She is so blessed to have you helping her, praying for her and just being a terrific kid! Keep your faith and trust in God. I’m so glad you came onto this site…there are great people here to help you and your mom!
Love,
HeatherJanet…June and July of 2008 Lee took Emilee and I to San Diego…I had a feeling because we took two trips…he knew more about what was happening with the cancer than he was telling anyone…but those weeks there were magical…it was as if we were like we were before the beast struck…something about the ocean that lulls you into a place of security,strength, and peace…it is almost like time stands still..it soon became our very favorite place ever..the memories will be with us forever..Emilee especially. What an awesome memory you will have away in your heart forever.
Love,
HeatherKris…I pray that along with you feeling great, you will continue that spunky, sassy way of looking cancer right in the face, and not taking no for an answer. I admire your courage and strength…you remind me of the fight Lee fought…thank you for reminding me of the incredible determination and super human strength Lee had…and that you now posess…God bless you Kris….
Love,
Heatherjsratlanta…my husband was on oxyaliplatin and a cocktail of two others…the oxy made him EXTREMELY sensitive to cold….everything he ate and drank had to be warm…bath time had to be very, very hot water and the thermostat had to be on throughout the house at close to 80…our dear friends bought him a flannel heated blanket…he just never seemed to be able to stay warm…just a little heads up…all people are different and their responses to treatment as well…but if you can prepare ahead of time…if and when symptoms occur…it is less stressful…another thing…it seemed to bother his stomach a whole lot more…so vomiting was something he did often…I always had paper towels and a wastebasket with a liner right beside him….know that you will be in our prayers as you begin yet another avenue in fighting this horrible, awful beast.
Love,
Heather
