MsC1210 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I have not posted in a day or 2 mainly because I have not had the ambition to and also because it has been more of the same.. up and down and no answers. Finally, as of yesterday, we got some elusive answers/information. Although Mom and I are still uncertain about the type of LC, we did learn that the biopsy is back and it is definitely LC and Jerry will be starting chemo, again we are not sure what kind but it will be in pill form. (This is what happens when the doctor comes in and talks to Jerry and does not leave notes for Mom. We will get the information today) On a very, very bright note, Jerry should be coming home, maybe as soon as Monday. We are getting the wheelchair ramp done this weekend and making sure that everything else is in place. Hospice is coming to help Mom out one or 2 days a week but not in an end of life scenario. Just to make sure Mom is able to have a break now and then. And since my kids are out of school as of noon today, I am able to do much more to help out too. I will update this later once I have the rest of the information, but wanted to say thanks again to all of you who've been so supportive.... Love and hugs Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patti B Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 (((Chris))) Still thinking of you all and praying for Jerry. Hope that the hospice gives you poor mom a much needed break. Call me if you need to vent. Hugs - Patti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandraL Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 You are most welcome Christine. It sure sounds like things are moving along now for the better. I hope he gets home safe and sound. Sounds like there will be good help around for all and nobody will get totally worn out. Hope it is a nice bright sunny day where you are.

LovesLife Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Chris - sorry that it is definitely lung cancer; however, now with a firm diagnosis they can proceed with the treatment that is planned. I am so happy Jerry will be going home - I bet he is ecstatic with the news (as is your mom). Things are finally falling into place - finally!!! Take care Chris, Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaroleHammett Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I'm so sorry you all have had to go through so much, Chris, but am glad that everything's finally coming together, that Jerry will be able to go home, and that your mother's going to have help. Take care and my best to your entire family. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
