tess Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Hi Everyone, Another sad turn of events here too Rob is having so much pain now that its become unmanageable. We need help. He is also now using a walker, he started having neuropathy Saturday. His back is hurting and I'm sure the spine mets have something to do with it also. He quit the Iressa as of yesterday. We don't need a CT scan to tell us its not working. The pain is doing that. So we are waiting for a call back from Home health care, a step away from hospice. He justs wants to be pain free. We were up half the night last night, he was in so much pain. It is so sad to see him going thru this monstrous disease! He is finally accepting the fact that God will take him home soon and we can't do anything about it. He does want to try another chemo, not sure yet if he will even be able to go get the radiation now. I just pray for God to give him peace. Like Mo said, "let go and let God" and that's about all we can do now. Thanks to everyone for your prayers. I'll keep everyone posted. I do have 3 Iressa pills left. If someone is on it, and doesn't have any insurance, let me know by PM and I will send it to them. Tess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeTaa Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Tess, Unfortunately, it sounds as if Rob and TBone have a lot in common. As a caregiver/family member, I don't think there's much worse than seeing them in such pain and feeling so very helpless. Y'all are in my thoughts and prayers. Blessings, TeeTaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnmynatt Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Tess, Glad Rob is going to get his pain under control. I have spent the last several days with my husband in extreme pain. It is sooo difficult to watch. My thoughts and prayers are with you both. Once he gets the pain under control, he may do much better and be able to tolerate more treatment. Hang in there.

jamie Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Tess & Rob, Brighter days are coming... Painfree ones too...whatever works right?? Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJAS Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Tess & Rob, Here's hoping that the Home Health Care can really do something wonderful for Rob. When Steve came home from the hospital, it was our home health nurse who really got us help in the pain meds dept. The individual time and attention really pays off. Trying to send you some strength because I too know how hard it is to watch our husbands in pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginnyde Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Dear Tess, How difficult and frustrating for you to watch your dear husband in such pain. Home health or the doctors should be able to offer something to give him relief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fall54 Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Tess, I am so sorry your hubby is in such pain. I guess I have this stubborn streak in me that believes that no one should have to be in such pain. There is just too many medications to ease that. I am praying you find the answers soon. I agree there is a time to let go and let God. God Bless You Both, Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
