Welcome to our board. I am glad you found us but sorry you have a need to be here. My husband was also diagnosed at stage IIIb. I hope the break helps your husband regain his strength. We are all here to help and listen-- so just ask away.
Again- welcome

Rich needs to have a heart cauterization done and possibly a stint put in. He's having some kind of allergic reaction -- they believe to the CT scan dye, he can't have it until the rash clears up. So he is stuck at the hospital until he can have his procedure done.
Keep sending him your good wishes.

Congratulations on 5 years. I say you come to Michigan and we celebrate this milestone with a huge shopping spree. I am so glad for you. I still remember you coming here, I remember your surgery, I remember your daughter posting for you, and now look at you-- it is amazing how far you've come. I am so happy for you.

Looking good! It's good to see you on. You should be soooo proud of yourself!

I spoke with Rich, he will be in for a couple of days while they get the fluid down and hopefully figure out what's going on with him. He sounded much better.

I got a call from Rich a little while ago. He is being taken by ambulance to the hospital. He hasn't been feeling well and when the home care nurse came to look at his leg today she had him taken in. Send the big guy all your positive thoughts and prayers.

My in-laws used to take forever to get from Florida to Michigan. We used to joke that wagon trains were faster.

Thanks Connie- I want to see that. I think they replay Oprah here at 10:00pm.

Hi Bee-
It could be many things causing an irritation in your lungs but you really need to get in to your doctor Call and tell them your symptoms and get your appointment moved up. You are coughing up new and old blood so something is going on. The infection could be getting worse and you need another antibiotic. To answer your question about the blood, my husband had just a few flecks of blood in his sputum about 2 weeks before his diagnosis.
Let us know what the doctor says.

I am not the survivor but I thought I'd mention how we handled the work issue. We have a wonderful family physician. When John was diagnosed he asked about going back to work and our doctor answered, "Only if you love what you do and it will make you happy-- will it make you happy?" John thought a minute and said no-- it wouldn't, and he never went back to work. We were lucky that he had disability insurance through his employer and that in addition to the SSD was enough to not make a huge dent in our financial situation.
Once we got into treatments John often said fighting cancer was a full time job.

Yes, contact him. It's going to be a hard day for him.

Randy hopefully they are on their way to Michigan for the summer and unable to check in. I think they have a home in Michigan.

I am over the moon happy for you! Enjoy the summer with your kids and take a sledge hammer to the clock.

I am sorry that he is having such a hard time of it. I hope there is a solution that will help all the issues he's having.

Try asking your doctor if there is another drug that is approved for fatigue. I know others here take Concerta. There may be an alternative that your insurance will pay for.
Good luck.

Oh Crap - I have a Blood Clot
in GENERAL

I am angry just reading this -- you tell them you haven't come this far to be taken out by a blood clot. I was worried you might have one when you mentioned it in chat. Let us know what happens-- hang in there.
