We are in trouble

Danielle

My heart goes out to you. All I can think of is the "Team" that goes through the sickness together. Your husband is lucky to have you. I am sure he knows it.

The suffering is felt by both the patient and the caregive..... and sometimes the caregiver(partner) is more affected than the patient.

This is a team sport after all. Keep your faith going and remember, we always have room for ANYTHING you would like to talk about.

Sincerely
George

Please do let me know. We are all in your corner!

You are an inspiration!

Hang in there Danielle.

You are a good example of how caregiver should be. You are doing the right thing by comeing here to vent. Everyone needs a place to escape to, and just say how they really feel.

I wish I could make you feel better, but I don't know what to say. Just know that we are with you, and are praying for you both.

Thanks Mike, I appreciated your reply..Just felt so distressed when I posted.
We have always been so optimystic with this illness...We have had 4 good years and happy times together with our children and 6 little grandchildren...inspite of all that was going on...

It's not an easy passage and I must stress to other newbies here, that they must always look on the optimystic side.What has happened to my husband is not a common thing to happen, so please don't take his case history as an example..He ignored the warning signs that something was wrong...For over a year and a half he kept the secret of the blood in his urine...

Take each day as it comes and love your life for what you have..Until today, my husband is optimystic and I shall make sure he stays that way..I had to fight with him this afternoon, not to climb the ladder to change a burnt out light bulb...Having hope and strength of those loved ones around you makes it all bearable...

I was feeling very low today, and as I can't show him what I am feeling I turned to my friends here...We all have a breaking point when uncontrollable sadness creeps in, but holding out for your loved one must be the priority...Your strength supports them...

Again thanks for listening
Danielle

Mike we shall be at the Oncologist on Wednesday and then see what the future holds...I shall post after the visit to the Onco and let you know...Thanks.

Danielle,

So sorry about how things have gone. Sounds like it has been a long and difficult time and it sounds like there have continued to be a lot of good times mixed in with the bad over the recent years.

I sincerely hope they are able to do something about the situation for your husband.

I so wish I had some great wisdom or insight to share but sometimes with this thing we are reminded that we only have so much knowledge and so much power and sometimes it isn't a lot at all.

Live strong!

Mike
