MelanieLR Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Hi all, When I saw my onc todayy, we decided to do hospice for noww. If I get stronger, I can stop the hospice & go on the chemo but in thee mean time, we can really use the help from hospice. This is really gettiing to my Hubbie. The onc agreed that I really wasn't strong enough to take chemo right now. He said he doubted the benefits would be worth the drawbackss. Take care all. I'll keep in touch when I can. Hugs & prayyers, Melanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nushka Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Melanie, I know this was not what you wanted to hear but if you get stronger you can have the chemo at that point. Maybe with good pain control and plenty of sleep you will feel much better. I continue to keep you in my prayers and hope that you find strength and comfort in the days ahead.

shineladysue Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Melanie, This news saddens me and I really don't know what to say except you have my prayers for your strength to return so you can resume chemo. Everyone says hospice is such a god send in situations like this. I hope they can help you and you will soon find yourself stronger. You are such a wonderful, giving member here and I only wish I could give back even a fraction of the support you have given others. You are admired and loved Melanie. Take care of yourself and remember , you have many people praying for you. Love, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
