So-o-o Fast
My husband has just been diagnosed with stomach cancer that has mets'd to his lymph glands and his liver.....and maybe elsewhere. We are so angry that it was not picked up during one of his many doc visits. He takes good care of himself, sees docs regularly, takes his prescribed meds as ordered He complained of stomach issues and was prescribed a myriad of different drugs, none of which worked.AND NO ONE TOOK NOTE! I finally went to the doc with him and demanded that some testing be done. Surprise, surprise, how devestated we are. Just needing to vent a bit I guess. We are all trying our best to stay positive, to not give up hope. Pain level is minimal at this point but he is chronically exhausted. Have an upcoming app't with an oncologist
although neither of us has a lot of faith in chemo or radiation. I'm a geriatric nurse and over the years I've cried to my husband about my patients and what they put themselves through to prolong their lives a bit longer.
I would be gratful to hear uplifting sucess stories. Thank you,donna65
Hi Donna,
Just thought I let you know my story. I was dx with stage IV throat cancer in 2005. So big it was inoperable. Had chemo and rads and have been cancer free since then. Try to stay positive and use every means at your disposal to fight this. Look into juices and healthy eating as your husband will need to keep his strength up. good luck for the fight and I will keep you in my prayers.
