So....talk about.....CANCER SUPPORT THREAD !!

[wsmith]

For many, there comes a time when the chemo isn't beneficial any more, and viable options aren't there. That's where she is now. We added it up, and found that Beth was on 7 different chemotherapies and 181 treatments over the past 11 years, the last one was effective for nearly 4 years. 8 major surgeries as well.

So the plan now is to make her as comforable as we can, so that she can enjoy the time she has remaining with us. She actually feels much better now that she isn't getting chemo any more

She must really be an amazing woman. I can't envision fighting thru all that without either giving up or losing your sanity. She must now be so very tired.
Keeping you both, and your family in my prayers.

So are you.

Some people surround themselves with good people. She did a good job with that.

You and your wife are in my thoughts and prayers. The people with hospice are wonderful and amazing people. They helped my mom until the very end. Big hugs to the two of you and I am praying!

Morning everyone, praying for those to our south and hoping the sunrise finds you all safe.

Does anyone know of a thread on here for those of us on the other side of the coin? Those of us who are the ones with cancer?

This is it.
I am just one of the cheer leaders for those on this thread who had it. A lot of them moved on to facebook. Some of them got better and just did not want to revisit this part of their lives.
Luna started it a few years ago,went through her treatments and was in remission - and since then her husband got throat cancer. I wish she'd pop in and keep us posted, but I understand how busy and exhausted she must be with it all.

Coyote went through the mill and back again, she also hit remission and prefers facebook now.

Anytime you need to vent, fume, fuss, cry, pray, or just need to chat, We are here.
If you have the time, you may want to start at the beginning, and scan the post for words that mean something to your situation. There is a lot of information and hope here.

Here is some for you to start you out with!
