Bev'sSister

My sister got on an anti depressant, anti anxiety pill and it worked wonders. I think maybe she should talk to her doctor about this and also talk with her priest. She seems at ease with him and I am sure he can help her with a lot of her questions. Your sister is just now coming to terms with what is going on. I know what she has is serious, but I don't think it is time to panic or anything. There have been so many here that have survived. I printed a lot of the stories on here and gave to my sister and that really helped her to have hope. Just knowing that someone has or is going through the same thing, can really be a big relief. Please keep us posted and know we are praying for good results and great treatments. Love, Bobby

Hi Gracie. I know how hard it is to go through this. I lost my sister this past October. I think your sister is probably scared and wants to feel at ease and priests are very good at doing that. I know because I have a brother that is a priest. There is still a lot of hope for your sister. Stay strong as a family and keep us posted. Love, Bobby

I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers for peace in the upcoming days. Love, Bobby

That is wonderful news. I am so happy for you...I will take a double Jack with Coke, Thank you very much!! Love, Bobby

Prayers are going up from Baton Rouge. Let us know how it goes. Love, Bobby

I am so sorry for your loss. We all know how hard it is to accept, but you hardly had time to soak all of this in. Try and take some comfort in the fact that your Mom is not suffering now. We all are here for you. All you can do is take one day at a time. Love to you and yours, Bobby

It is because gas is so high that I sit at home and watch American Idol. I don't call in a vote though. I do vote in every election..but I did not vote for Bush. Anyhoo...I think Brooke will (should) leave tonight. Bobby

Dang Pup! How tough are you? I could not take all of those side effects...but I am a wus. You are such a tough cookie. You stay strong and win this battle! I know you can. We are all behind you. I would call and tell my doctor about all the problems this drug is causing..it is not like you don't have enough to deal with already. You should not have to be miserable. Keep in touch! Love to you, Bobby

Hi Terri, Thanks for your recommendation. I think I probably need to get that book, because I don't feel I have even accepted Beverly's death yet. My mind will not let me go there, or only in very small doses. I miss her so much, but I prefer to think of her being on a trip. I know...denial. Thanks again for the tip. Maybe that will be my project this weekend. Love to you, Bobby

I know exactly how you feel, as far as wanting to do something. At this point, all you can do is to encourage her to take those meds and drink plenty of fluids. I tried to help my sister while I was in town, by making meals for her to just take out of the freezer and cleaning her house for her. I know how much she appreciated that. It is important that you see her as much as possible. It seems that friends start to disappear around this time and the more support she has, the better she will feel. I hope she starts feeling better soon. Let her know we are all thinking of her. Keep us posted. Love, Bobby

I think that is a wonderful idea and I know he will see them and know you are thinking of him. Look for little signs from him, you never know, maybe he is trying to give you a message without actually giving you a card. I hope your weekend goes well. Love, Bobby

TOO FUNNY.

Hi Coleen, I have had an inactive(hypo)thyroid for over 20 years. The best way to tell if you are hypothyroid is to take your temperature..every morning for a week..before getting out of bed or doing anything..and if it is below 98 degrees consistantly, then you are probably have hypothyroidism. Doctors don't tell you about this simple test..but if you do this and tell the dr. your results..he will take it seriously. I am currently on .250 mcb's of Synthroid a day. Almost as high as you can get. I have never been able to become regulated. It is very frustrating sometimes. I think I am not the norm on this though. Most have a pretty easy time. Dry skin, hair loss and dryness,fatigue, slight changes in speech (almost as though tounge is getting thicker)are all symptoms of hypothyroidism. I hope some of this helped. Take care, Bobby

Reverend Boudreaux was the part-time pastor of the local Cajun Baptist Church, and Pastor Thibodaux was the minister of the Covenant Church across the road. They were both standing by the road, pounding a sign into the ground, that read: *'Da End is Near! Turn You self Around Now! Before It's Too Late!'* As a car sped past them, the driver leaned out his window and yelled, 'You religious nuts!' From the curve they heard screeching tires and a big splash...Bordeaux turns to Thibodaux and asks, 'Do ya tink maybe da sign should jus say 'Bridge Out'?'

I know exactly what you are going through. I am from a family in which I have 2 sisters that are nuns and a brother that is a priest. Believe me, we did some praying. My sister passed anyway. I was very angry at first, but I have come to realize that God's will was done. She didn't suffer..she had time to tell us all goodbye and to confess her sins and go in peace. I miss her very much, but I know she is in a better place..just from the dreams we have of her. I was told once that FEAR is FAITH turned inside out..it is so difficult to want and to pray for what we need instead of God's will, because we don't know what his will is. BUT..I believe God's will is always right. I think you are trying to prepare yourself for what may come. I did the same thing and even though it didn't stop my pain, I think I was ready to accept it. Having said all that..Your Mom may very well survive this hateful beast..there are many who have. Try to keep believing and be with her as much as you can. Love to you and yours, Bobby

Tom, I am so sorry for what you are having to go through. It is such a difficult thing to deal with. Stay as strong as you can for Becki and know that we are parying for you. Love, Barbara

Robbi, I am so sorry. I know your Mom was proud she had such a wonderful daughter to take care of her. Love to you, Bobby

I am not sure if this is the title..and I wish I had never thought of this because it continues to play over and over in my head now...but I'm Henery the 8th, I am...I think the Monkeys sang this..not sure.

I really like Brooke for the girls and David Cook for the boys. That is talent wise, but that Jason fellow sure is cute.

Faith, I am so sorry for what you and your family are going through. It is almost identical to what my family went through with my sister. Everything happened so fast, but the morphine drip was very easy on her. It allowed her to pass with no pain and it was peaceful. I would say after she went on the morphine, it was 24 hours or less and she was gone. I am not saying this to make you lose hope, because there is always hope, but to let you know that I understand what you are feeling. It is a very difficult thing to go through, but I am glad you have family there with you. Stay strong for one another and keep us posted. Please pm me if you need to talk to someone. Love to you and your family, Bobby

Hi Connie. I have to agree with the others on this. My sister had PCI's done and she did have the headache with it..her Dr. also said it was probably not from the radiation, but he did put her on steroids to help..and they worked wonders. Maybe she could try that. I hope she feels better soon. Love, Bobby

Jen I have to apologize to you, because when I first read your post, I was a little jealous and would not comment. Your posts were so often what gave me hope that this cancer could be beat. I am not ashamed to admit that I am jealous of you still having your Dad. I really wish I could still have my sister. But at the same time, I am very happy for your family, because I know what a wonderful gift you have been given. I hope I don't sound like an awful person. Just being honest. Love to you and yours, Bobby

Just want to post and tell everyone to Have a Happy Easter! I will be going to my parent's home for Easter. I think I may go by and visit my brother in law. I haven't really talked with him since my sister died. I am a little worried about going to her house. I have not been there since she died. I hope I don't lose it. Take care all, Love, Bobby

I think that it is very important to the newcomers here to read these types of posts. I remember I looked especially for posts to give me hope for my sister. I still firmly believe that no one should EVER give up and your post will help someone who needs to hear that. Thank you. Love, Bobby

Robbi, I don't think it is necessary to tell your Mom that at all. If Mom really wants to hear that, she will ask. I think it takes away all hope, when one hears those words. My sister always knew, but she didn't want to hear it. She did not want to know anything negative. In the end, she had time to get her affairs in order, and to tell everyone goodbye. This is so hard to go through. I will be praying that you get your answers soon and that your Mom will get her 6 months and many more. Just don't give up hope. Love to you and yours, Bobby
