Cindy RN Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Well I keep going-like the eveready battery bunny. The weather is slowing me down a bit but that is OK. My husbands father went into the hospital Mon with what they thought was flu. Turns out the chest xray showed up cancer. CT was done and it is in the liver and several other places. I do not know what kind it is yet, they want to do a liver biopsy but he has already said he will not treat it so I am unsure what is next. He is 82. My husband Tom is not doing well. He says he is but he is holding it in and I can see it is taking a toll on him. When I find out more I will update. Love Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggiesmom Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 So sorry to hear about your father in law. Why, oh why do we all have to go thru this? Not fair, no way, no how. Well, see what else they can tell you and try to boost your hubby up abit. I know that's hard, but you're a good booster-upper if ever there was one! Let us know.

Cindy RN Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 Thank you both. This has been a hard week. I have one daughter that has a substance abuse problem and she has relapsed. Sometimes it seems there is too much thrown at us. Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnyde Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I am so sorry Cindy. You are right, it never rains, it pours. But they say God only gives this to his special people that he believes can handle it. There were times in my life that I didn't want to be special.

gail p-m Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Cindi I'm so sorry to hear about your FIL and daughter. What a week! Maybe when the dust settles for your FIL, he might be a candidate for something like Tarceva. He probably doesn't even know that such therapies for cancer exist. Please keep us informed. gail p-m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.C. Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Cindi, So sorry about your FIL and your daughter. Too much at the same time. Your FIL may decide about treatments after he learns more about his state of health and that is when your husband will need support. So much on different sides getting at you. Will keep you in my prayers. Hugs J.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berisa Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Hi Cindy, I am sorry for your FIL. Probably he just found out he got cancer, and so frustrated about this and decides not to have any treatments, although he is 82 but like some articles said, it doesn't mean the chemo/surgery won't work well on him. But I will respect his decision IF he knows what he can expect to be happened. Cindy, so sorry for what you and your husband is now going through. This hits hard and take care my dear!
