My husband passed away July, 2011. I asked for a lot of our records during his illness but now my daughters are considering genetic testing. Is there a way for me to get his complete records from each place- family, oncologist, surgical? Thanks!
You are in excellent hands! Dr. Marsh and Dr. Geller of the UPMC Liver Cancer Center also were involved in my husbands surgery. I will be keeping you both in my prayers!!
I am so glad we fought and fought. Every minute we had that wasn’t supposed to be made our lives so much better than I could ever have imagined. I thought I knew how much I loved him but after his diagnosis it took on a whole new meaning. Jeff Was such a good person. He was a great father and the best husband and friend anyone could ask for. I will forever admire his courageousness. I can only hope to be half the person he was.
Dear CM,
I feel your loss, I understand how you feel. I miss my husband so very much. I try so hard, for my daughters, to be strong. I hear how I’m doing so well but most people don’t know how I cry myself to sleep, wake up missing him, cry on the way to work And then home. The only thing that keeps me from going crazy is that I know we will be together again. I am so very sorry for your loss and will keep you in my prayers. Take care!! JennyThank you all so very much, it is truly such a comfort to be able to speak openly and be understood!
I feel like we shared the exact experience. I am so very sorry to think someone else had to go through this with the same outcome. I don’t know what tomorrow holds but I thank God for this website and the kindness of everyone involved. Thank you!Love, Jenny
Dear CM,
I haven’t been on in a while but after reading your post I needed to. My husband lost his battle with cc on July 26th. Everything you wrote is exactly how I feel too. I am so sorry for your loss. For me driving in the car is the worst, i begin to cry and that’s it, I just lose it! My two daughters are back in school, my youngest just started OSU in Semtember so, it’s pretty quiet at my house now too. I will be keeping you in my prayers. The only thing that keeps me from completely falling apart is knowing that Jeff and I will be together again. Take care. -JennyDear Ken and Family, I do not post very often but read almost daily, and was so very saddened to hear about Rick. I am so very sorry for your your loss. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. ~ Jenny
“Crazymaking”, what a perfect word to discribe this journey!! Wishing you and your husband the very best! ~Jenny
Lainy, the oncologist and lung surgeon in Pittsburgh both feel it is the cancer causing his shortness of breath. Both lungs have several patches, I guess the cancer doesn’t let his lungs fill to full capacity. As soon as he exerts himself at all, his breathing is labored. And I mean, simply walking down the hall to the restroom. Some days he is optimistic, usually very upset that he isn’t able to do anything. Thanks! Jenny
Hi everyone, just wanted to say we did not go with Cancer Treatments of America. Not really sure why, just didn’t feel like they were the right place to be right now. Jeff is still have difficulty breathing but is also still doing chemo. Last week he had both Gemzar and Oxsaliplatin, which kicks his butt and then yesterday had just Gemzar. I really don’t know how he does it! I just wish he could take a break, gain a little weight and get stronger! But he feels the chemo is the only thing keeping the cancer from growing and making his breathing even harder! Thanks for listening…again! ~ Jenny
Dear CM,
Just read the posts and just wanted to let you know I will be keeping you and your family in my prayers. Take care of yourself too! My best wishes for a relaxing and enjoyable trip!! Jenny
