Guest Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 We got my husbands scan results back. Tumors have continued to shrink but are still there. He has had his last chemo treatment for now. I know it is good news that he has responded to chemo but knowing it is still there is so scary. I feel like I am crazy. One day or moment I feel like I can do this I can handle it, whatever happens. I can take care of myself and my kids and we will be ok and even be happy and have a good life but then sometimes I think thatis so crazy and how will we get through this I am in denial if I think we'll be ok.

kimblanchard Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 What you are feeling is normal. That is why we call this the roller coaster ride of emotions. I have up days and down days even though my husband has continued to have progression of disease. No tumors have responded to treatment yet. YET!!!! It is just of matter of time until they do find something that works. Your husband is responding. This is wonderful. Allow yourself to have concerns but do not waste too much time with worry. It will wear you completely out. I know. Bless you dear. Peg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sara k Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 this is my post. I know that my husbands response to chemo is a pos. thinng and that there are plenty of people here who are in worse shape than we are. I know that I should not waste what I have now being sad about what will happen in the future. However, sometimes it is so hard to be positive, have gratitude and faith. I sometimes feel that the times when I do have faithand feel that no matter what happens I can be ok that I am crazy and those feelings are wrong and I am fooling myself.

Don Wood Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Yes, shrinkage is definitely good news. My question, since it is not gone, would be: What is the next plan for controling the beast? Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest peggyd Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Hi Happy to hear about your hubby's results. Thank God for them and try and carry on. I know how difficult that can be. Part of me wants to believe with all my heart that everything is going to be OK. And then I think am I just setting myself up for a fall. That's part of this whole thing. There are good days and there are also bad days. You are on such a roller coaster of emotions all the time. Try and stay positive. Its the best for you and your loved one. I have sort of convinced myself that if something does happen to my husband, if I do lose him, I will have more than enough time to grieve then. Right now, I'm just going to enjoy being around him, having him around me and thank God for each and every day we have together. Hope that helps.
