I mean Live-In Caregiver, "Full Time"

Take her home. Hire a live caregiver, ask everyone to cheap in with the helps salary. Enjoy each moment with mom. Make her bedroom as comfortable as possible. Get her a hospital bed, a big screen TV, and nice comfy recliner, and spoil her. Easy for me to say, but I actually been this road with my mother in-law and her husband refused to do anything considering he was also 94 years old. I have to do what's right, in her case, money was no object, so I know she deserves the best and first class care. My mother in-law lived another 10 years with a good help and good nutrition. God Bless you Lori. Take mom home and relish each moment with her. Just my 2 cents. Love to all Malou

Tell that stepson that Jesus loves him too. And somebody from Oakland California would like to fly over there and kick his *ss for being so ungrateful. God Bless You. Love, Malou

Nope. Too much paper. I just go to wallmart. Everything there is cheap. No coupons needed

My beloved husband is doing good. He was in the hospital 2 weeks ago after falling at the oncologist office. He has been falling quite abit for the past 3 months now. It usually happens when he first get up from his recliner. His face would freeze and look like some form of seizure, it last for about 5 seconds and he is back to normal. I told his onc the first time it happened and he ordered brain MRI back in Dec. he was cleaned empty headed club official member. Anyway, the falls is still happening and the onc is not concerned and just said that it could be side effects of Carbo/Gemzar. 2 Weeks ago his urine was dark and his apetite was zero, onc asked him to come in for a complete work up. They asked for a urine sample and he fell right there in the bathroom with nurse in his back. She saw the whole expression I keep telling them, they panic and called 911. ER doc ordered Full body CT, results are good and he is clean in the Brain dept, though is gallstones are causing some disruptions once again. He was so dehydrated and was put on anti biotic. Anyway he was released home after 3 days with a new refreshed looked and feeling better. Thanks for lestening. God bless us all. I hate this disease very much. Love to all Malou Sorry I'm rambling, but I know this update is long overdue.

Hi Don & Lucie Thomas has the same problem with Alimta. Eyes is so watery. Onc said that's expected and to use natural tears eye drops and visine. God Bless Malou

Karen: I have been praying for you and Ken. I know exactly what you are going through. My tears fall down my checks anywhere anytime. I am very melancholy inside me, but I have to put a big o smile in front of my husband. Our favorite words, together, we are going to kick this cancerous beast in his chest and we laugh it out. God Bless you Karen and Ken. Keep the faith. Love, Malou

Prayers to you and your family. Please accept our deepest sympathy. God Bless Love Thomas & Malou

Joanne: Like Don and others here, my husband has been on Lexapro for a year now. Even on his bad days, he still wears a smile. I think this is a good drug for depression really. I know I need to start taking it for myself. I'm feeling sad, and down most of the time. God Bless. Malou

Very sorry. Please do not be ashame of what he did. He was a warrior he did put up a good fight. This is an evil disease and I'm sure your Dad is in heaven right now without any pain. God bless you and your family and please accept our deepest sympathy. Love, Thomas & Malou

Karen: Praying for strength for you and your family. Love Thomas & Malou

Chuck: My husband had surgergy. Caught tons of infection and ended up in the vent for 40 days. This is an isolated case, most people do get out good. After 3 months he was restaged to 4 from 1b. If I have to reverse the clock, I would just do chemo. Just my 2 cents. God Bless you and keep the faith. Hope and pray all goes well. Malou

I woke up this morning and prayed so hard that God wiped out this darn disease on face of earth. Too much death, not fair, not fair at all. God Bless you Pat, I'm praying for your strength as you grieved in passing of your better half Brian Love to all. Thomas & Malou

Very very sorry. Please accept our deepest sympathies. This has been a rough week. Too many loses. God please get rid of this darn beast here on earth. Praying for strength for the entire family. God bless us all. Love, Thomas & Malou

NO WAY! NO WAY!. I FREAKING HATE THIS DISEASE! I REBUKE THIS CANCER BEAST IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS. May your soul rest in peace our beloved Leslie. You brought so much life into this board. Mark may the lord grant you strength in the coming days. My tears are dropping and my hands shaking. How can this beast take a beautiful joyful soul so quickly. God Bless. Love Thomas & Malou

Don't know where and how to start. Lost, Stunned, Shocked, Scared by the minute but grateful by the second I am with my husband. There's no other place I'd rather be except next to him, hoping, believing, praising God. Too much emotion. Did not realized that I can still managed to go work with this beast in his chest, don't want to leave home for 8 hours but know can't afford not to. I praise God every single breath of my being. I am still lost yet have put a smile infront of him. I can't share to him all the worldly aches and pains I go through, used to complain about traffic, people BSing at the store, any annoying stuff, I can't help but to laugh at them now. WOW what a big U-turn in mind set this disease can do to our ones psyche. God bless us all and thanks for bring up the subject.

Prayers to you and your family. Please accept our deepest sympathy. God Bless Thomas & Malou

Don: No progression is definitely a good news. Hopefully Alimta does the trick. Thomas is started Alimta yesterday. Been sleeping alot, but so far ok. Prayers to you and Lucy. Love, Malou

My husbands left foot was swelling on the third week of chemo. I called the onc and he asked me to take him to the hospital immediately where he fax an order for ulta sound. This is serious stuff and blood clot is not something to wait and see. Luckily my husbands blood was clean as a river according the tech no was looking the screen. His swelling was due to anemia or chemo side effects. It's always good to stay ahead and save your self some worries and dad some relief from pain. God Bless Malou
