Dear Melanie – My husband has been anemic since before his diagnosis. That’s all I know. We’re here for you so feel free to visit often and make comments. Everyone will do all they can to provide help and support. Blessings, Susan
There are no words to describe how much Kris will be missed on this website and the impact for those who love her personally has to be insurmountable. Angels rejoice in heaven that she has joined them, but she will be missed by all of our family on this site. Blessings, Susan
Dear Beth – Take your right arm and plae it on your left shoulder. Now take your left arm and put it on your right shoulder. Squeeze….that’s me hugging you. So sorry for all that you and Dave have been through. I don’t know how much one person can take either. Know that we care about you and hold you close in our hearts. Blessings, Susan
Dear Joanie – My heart goes out to you as you adapt to the change in your life without your mom’s physical presence. While that is so hard to accept, the love she had for you and the investment she made in your life will carry you through. Our memories are so precious and the grieving process provides opportunities to take out those memories and savor them. May you enjoy your mom’s memories in the coming year. There will be pain of the loss, but the comfort of the memories. Blessings, Susan
Hi Nancy – My husband is 58 and was diagnosed with CC in late July/early August 2010. He is declining now. He was not a candidate for surgery so he did 3 rounds of chemo and did well on chemo although it did not shrink his tumors at all. He also probably had the disease for 2 years prior to diagnosis. He has never been to Thailand, but we would be interested in learning more as you find out new things. Best wishes to you and Doug and you fight this fight – we stand with you. Blessings, Susan
Dear Hollio – Lainy and Marion have given you the best information available. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Stay strong, get all the information you can, and remember you are the best advocate. I agree – push for the answers – the sooner you get diagnosed, the sooner treatment can start. Blessings, Susan
Patti – How nice to count your blessings and FRANCE. I’m so happy for you and your sister. Prayers for clean results to all test results continuing. Blessings, Susan
Oh Margaret – What a challenge. We’ll pray for the best result for you and your arm so you can take care of your hubby. Is there someone else who can come help you with him if your arm is broken? Hang in there. I think home health can come in and do for Tom what you can’t (if you can’t). Best wishes coming your way. Blessings, Susan
Dear SSRork – Welcome to our cc family. You will find so much information here and so much caring support. Many of us become overwhelmed and shocked. It is definitely a roller coaster ride. Please come here often, post thoughts or feelings, ask questions, use the search box at the top of the page to search for specific information and treatment specialists in your area. We welcome you and will do whatever we can to answer questions or give insight into our own experiences. Just so you know, my husband has cc. He is 58, also a non-drinker, non-smoker who was never sick more than 24 hours before getting cc. He was diagnosed in late July 2010 and unfortunately, he has the type of cc that is faster growing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Blessings, Susan
I think you are absolutely amazing and right on about the blessing of having time to do the really important stuff like pajama parties and manicures and pedicures. Imagine – tie dyeing – good for all of you. You put a smile on my face and I thank you for that. We also signed up for hospice yesterday. We aren’t giving up by any means, either, but we are getting some additional support for which we are thankful. May 2011 bring you many blessings and lots more time for the important stuff – make some toasted marshmallows and watch a chick flick – make every day count (as you have been doing). Blessings, Susan
I think Lainy said it so well. We just don’t know. My husband has CC and he had trouble with nausea and being tired almost 2 years before diagnosis. By the time he was diagnosed he had suffered so much and had a prognosis of 3-6 months to live. He has made it 5 months so far. Some of these cancers appear fast growing. Each person is different as Lainy said. Whether fast or slow, try to enjoy each day. Celebrate and live well on the days your energy is good and rest up on bad days. Cherish each moment. Blessings, Susan
Dear Tawanda – I also pray that God will help you get through this year. I am praying not only to get through it, but to actually find some of the joy you have lost. May your love for your husband and his memory give you strength for the day and comfort for the night. You have accomplished so much by getting up every day and putting one foot in front of the other and then you honored his memory by watching the parade. As hard as it is to survive without your love next to your side and his strength, you have done it. Take a moment and appreciate that you have made it this far without him. He would be proud of you. May the pain grow lighter, the loss less acute, and the memories sweeter. Blessings, Susan
Dear PSIL – How wonderful to hear your good news. Keep fighting. It is so important learning to “live” with this awful cancer. It sounds like you celebrated new years in a great way and are living. I agree that God has a plan for our lives and His love is greater than we can comprehend. May you have blessings in abundance in 2011. Blessings, Susan
