kimblanchard Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Hi friends, My dear Bill was admitted to the hospital on Tuesday with severe breathing difficulty. Latest scans show gemzar is not working and the tumors are too numerous to count. He had over 2 liters of fluid drained from his lungs. Due to blood clots, a filter was inserted into a major vein to prevent major problems. He has received several units of blood to increase his cell counts. The doctors have refused further treatment. I am devastated. My husband is too young to die. I am too young to be a widow. I don't know what to do. Everyone has written him off. Bill has deteriorated so much in one week it is incredible. Please pray for a miracle. I do not know why this is happening. It can't be happening. Bill was supposed to beat this. Peg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimblanchard Posted March 7, 2004 Author Share Posted March 7, 2004 Dear Peg I am so shocked and sad about Bill. I have no words to express my feelings to their full extent. I will be praying extra hard for a miracle for your Bill and for you and your family. I hate this disease so much, its just not fair. May God please grant a miracle to Bill.
