Hans – Thank you for letting us know the latest. I think of you both every day, so it is good to hear from you. Along with everyone else, give Kris a hug from me and continue to post when you can. Let’s hope Sweden gives you a big “Hell Yeah”……Nancy
Thanks everyone for your support. I just didn’t want to bring this up during Christmas dinner….it seemed to bring everyone’s spirits down and I felt guilty about that. I will be better able to handle things next time, now that I have some ideas on what I should have done. – Peace – Nancy
Thanks for the adivce Margaret and Lainy. I hate leaving John out when asked, but I don’t want anyone thinking that I am looking for their pity. These are good answers…..
clkempf – I don’t know the answer to your question. Usually, the higher the CA-19 marker, the more advanced the disease. I am not sure why that would be if the tumors have not grown and are actually shrinking. You should probably pose this question to the doctor. Sorry I can’t be of more help. Best wishes- Nancy
What wonderful news for you….may he continue to get great check ups….we need good results on this forum!
Irishgirl – Just tried to read up a little bit about ABHR cream and what it can do on the Internet. It sounds promising to help with the nausea. I hope your Mom finds some relief with this treatment. Sending good thoughts your way…..Nancy
Irishgirl – I’m not sure what the ABHR cream is….I have never heard of it with my son’s case. What is it supposed to do?????
Lainy – It does sound wonderful. Our thoughts will all be with you during the service.
Isisman – I have the same situation with my son’s ashes. He wanted them scattered in the Atlantic Ocean (where we all spent a lot of time) but I haven’t been able to do it yet and, the longer I wait, the less I want to. But when the time is right, I will do as he wished.
Dear Terry – Your message makes me so incredibly sad. I do not understand what it is like to lose your soulmate. But I do know what it is like to lose someone so very dear to me, since I lost my son, John. I try very hard to spend each day doing something to honor his life….to pass along the goodness that was in his heart….to remember that his biggest fear was leaving behind me and his Dad, and that we wouldn’t be able to cope. So — as my tribute to him — I cope! Some days I do it better than others, but I do cope. The first year after his loss was hard, but I was numb. This second year has seemed even harder — but I try each and every day to pull myself up by the boot straps and remember the love he brought me each and every day of his 30 years in my life. Can you try to volunteer somewhere that would help you to fill some of the void in your life right now? You sound like an incredible human being with so much to give….and I think your husband would want you to be fulfilled again. I hope you can find some peace….it takes a long time ……Hugs – Nancy
Dear Lainy – Well, just from the number of posts – you know how much you and Teddy have meant to all of us who are on this web site. All of our thoughts are with you today and always. There are no words….Nancy
Lainy – We had Hospice in our home and I think things are different when you are able to do that….I was able to keep my eye on everything that was going on. However, I will tell you – as great as they were – it was very weird for me to have total strangers in my home 24/7. After two days, I dismissed them and took care of things myself, with just a daily 30 minute visit from Hospice.
I’m sorry things are such a mess for you and your Teddy right now. I agree about the Tylenol – what difference does it make at this point. Bring some with you and give it to him yourself! The heck with everyone else….
Nancy
Lainy – I don’t think there is a good answer to this situation. My John died peacefully at home, but it was very difficult on the family. It was hard for me to be in his room after he passed and I have memories (not all good) that I cannot get out of my head. On the other hand, we were all here with him 24/7 (his Dad, his sister, his aunt, and his soul-mate, Sarah)…which in some ways made things easier. My thoughts are with you right now….you are one special lady. I can’t get you out of my head right now. Hugs – Nancy
Lainy – I have to admit, John was very calm in the last few days, with some agitation only hours before he passed. Our Hospice nurses were giving him something for agitation….I just can’t remember now what it was. He mostly slept and did not seem distressed. I was grateful for that and hope you will be able to resolve this issue for everyone’s sake. Hugs – Nancy
