Great News Gial! Mom alays said that she knew when it was time for chemo when she started feeling good again. I hope this next round isn't as difficult for Hank! Susan

Thinking of you today! ((((Hugs)))) Susan

Dina, This my heart is broken for you. You gave him the ultimate gift by shouldering his pain and setting him free. That is the greatest act of love there is. I am so sorry for your loss. You will be in my prayers. Susan

Thanks, we should all take the time to read thse and then pay tribute to heather by resolving to carry on the work she started. Susan

Can we place a permanemt link to this story somewhere on this forum? I think it would give a lot of hope to many people. Susan

I'm so sorry. Thank you for sharing your Dad's obituary. We knew he was special from your posts. I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Susan

I am so sorry for the loss of your friend and ours. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Please know that I am keeping you and heather's family in my prayers. Susan

Amy, I'm so very sorry. Susan

Great News!!!!!! I'm thrilled and I know your mother is too. Congratulations, Susan

I'm thnking about you and hoping that your Dad is resting comfortably. We will be here for you. Susan

Shelli, I'm so sorry for your loss. But from his obituary, I can see how special he was. I will keep you in my prayers for strength and comfort during this difficult time. Susan

I will certainly be adding my prayers for Heather and her family. Please continue to update us when you know more. Susan

Mom saw the Dr. yesterday and he doesn't think she broke a rib. He says that sometimes they shift and then "pop" back when you move in a funny way. That's what he think happened. She was only sore for a day and would be sore a lot longer if it was broken--so it seems like another one of those LC driven panic attacks that turn out to be nothing! Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers! This really is the best group of people and I am grateful to every one of you! Susan

Ernie--I'm looking forward to hearing how much better you are feeling after they get that fluid drained off! Susan

Mom was cleaning some lint out of the washer the other day and felt a "pop." It felt like a rib breaking. She doesn't seem to be in too much pain an has an appointment with the Dr. tomorrow, but this has me worried. She has had almost a year of stability and no treatment so I am worried that the other shoe is now about to drop. Hopefully we will know more tomorrow. Susan

Christine, I am so sorry to hear about your father. Please accept my deepest condolences. My heart is breaking for you. We will be here for you when you need us. Susan

Dina, It is so hard to know what is right for our loved ones. If you Dad still wants to fight then maybe he can get a second opinion. Sometimes one doctor will try a treatment when another won't. I'll keep him (and you) in my prayers. In the meantime, we are here if you need us. Susan

Welcome home! I'm glad you are home and that you got over the bumps in the road. Take it easy and stop by when you can to let us know how you are doing. Susan

Gail, You anger and frustration is WHY this caregiver/family member board exists! We all get angry and frustrasted and need a place to vent. You are not evil for having these feeling and neither are you alone. And who knows why Hank got LC? My mom didn't smoke, she exercised, ate healthy foods and has it too. It's a crap shoot and Hank could have done everything right and still gotten it. He doesn't deserve it anymore than anyone else. You don't deserve it either, but it is what it is (a new phrase we all learned in this battle). At any rate come here when you need to vent--we all understand! Susan

I am so very sorry for your loss. I'm so sorry you had to make that decision, but your hisband is at peace and I hope that thought brings you comfort. Susan

Your support will be a big help to your sister. Just keep reminding her she needs to take her meds and drink lots of water! It's hard to be far away so I understand how helpless you feel. Susan

Today's the day! Let's all send our good thoughts and prayers for a safe surgery and a speedy recovery for Marshall! Susan

Good luck Mitchell! I'll be praying for a safe surgery and an awesome new future for you! Susan

Deb--Don't apologize for the need to unload. every care giver has to and this is an excellent place for it. Unload here anytime you need to--we all understand. Susan

Denise, We're glad Tom has you too! I know some folks around here have found ways around the lack of appetite for their loved ones. It is so important to maintaining enough stamina to deal with the treatments. susan
