Dear Terry –
Having a loss this great is more than enough to push someone over the edge, but then people come around and love us, support us, and sometimes provide for us. What a tremendous blessing to be reminded that we are loved and cared for. I am so happy that your Wayne can rest in peace.
Blessings,
SusanDear Sanjay –
Sorry about your dad. You have joined a family here on the CC website and we care how you and your dad are doing. Please keep us updated about your journey. We care about all the ups and downs of this process and will do our best to provide support.
Blessings,
SusanDear Stacey – You are so right when you say it will be a relief to get some help. Just having hospice come regularly, share their thoughts with you, you share your feelings with them, and they help your dad so much. You will experience relief. I am sorry that this is your journey and your dads. Make the best memories possible and say all the things that are in your heart. Blessings to you and your family, Susan
Dear Viv –
How welcome your good news is. I was struggling with being sad today and your news encouraged me. There are people who are getting very good treatment for CC and experiencing success. You are part of our family now and we look forward to continued reports on your progress. Blessings, Susan
Dear Monica – Good news is always so welcome. Glad you are tolerating the chemo well. Post as you feel up to it as we are interested in your progress. Blessings, Susan
Dear Sylvia – I was so excited to hear that treatment worked and you are now a candidate for liver resection. Please keep us posted about live donor potentials. Do you have any siblings? I look forward to hearing more. Blessings, Susan
Dear Lourdes – I was so disappointed in City of Hope. I could not get calls back from them, despite sending all the information they asked for mon my husband. It was so disappointing that a cancer center had such poor follow up. Many people with CC don’t have a lot of time to wait around. I also learned that when you or a loved one has cancer (especially stage IV) every moment is so precious and for someone else to not call back is like saying your life doesn’t matter to us. Well, the lives of our loved ones matter to us, so I would avoid City of Hope and pursue USC in a heartbeat. (If is of no consequence that USC was my husband’s favorite football team. lol.) Blessings, Susan
Dear Milli –
You are a member of a new family now – our family – here on this CC website. Please come often, post comments, ask questions, vent, share, whatever you need. We understand and we care.
Blessings,
SusanDear Ichase –
Welcome to this family where you can find support and a place to vent or ask questions. We have been on one side or another of this roller coaster ride and we care about others who are fighting CC. Come often, post updates, ask questions, vent, whatever you need. We will be here.
Blessings,
SusanHi Lisa – So glad that you had a successful resection. We look forward to great outcomes and positive reports from you. We celebrate your miracle. Blessings, Susan
Dear Lourdes –
Our hearts reach out to you, your dad and your family during this difficult time. CC is a roller coaster ride that is not fun. The best things are to have a positive attitude, make as many memories as possible, and tell each other often of your love and what you have enjoyed, learned and appreciated from being in this family. Second and third opinions are often very helpful. Please visit and post often to keep us updated and so that we can walk through this with you. Blessings, Susan
Dear John – So sorry for this difficulty in your life and your dad’s life. Attitude is so important. We often say to enjoy the good days, say all the things you need to say and hold on tight on the bad days. Make as many more happy memories as you can because no one knows the future. We care about this walk that you are on and we will be here to listen, to care, and to share. Blessings, Susan
Dear CM – I am so sorry for these difficult days. My husband became fearful and (sometimes) angry at CC because he was used to being strong, healthy and taking care of everyone else and when he became so weak he didn’t know how to handle it. I am so glad you contacted the doctor. I surely hope the steroids help and that you are able to talk to the doctor about an assessment for depression and medication for that. Please continue to share your feelings and what is going on as we will be here for you and we understand how tough this can be. My prayers are with you. Blessings, Susan
Dear Jukka – You seem to have a positive attitude and we believe that attitude is a huge part of this process. A positive attitude can take you places you couldn’t go to under other circumstances. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and we pray that your care at the University Hospital is excellent and produces the very best outcome. I have no experience with the chemo you mentioned. My husband was on Gemzar/Cisplatin. Best wishes, Susan
