rough journey.. my thoughts are with the both of you.Thank you, Bea! {{{{{{{{{{Hugs}}}}}}}}}}
The trial drugs are basically supposed to shrink/eliminate tumors and hopefully buy us some more time together. She is in fairly advanced Stage 4 with metastasis. The original tumor was colo-rectal and was located in the rectum very near the sphincter. It metastasized to the lungs. Surgery was done to remove the tumor from the rectum, and a permanent colostomy was placed. A second surgery was done later on to remove mets from the lungs. The mets have returned to the right lung with quite a few more in the chest wall and near the liver. She has already been through all of the standard protocol treatments (radiation, chemotherapy, surgery) and none of it has worked, and that is why we are looking at clinical trials at this point. The doctors say that remission is highly unlikely, and they just want to improve her quality of life and give her as much time as they can.
Thank you for following along with us. That is the main reason that I have been so open about sharing our journey. We both want others to know her story, and we hope that the sharing of it will help someone in some way or another. My Bride is 46 years old and has no history of cancer in her family. Her grandmother had Type 1 Diabetes and Alzheimer's, so I am fully aware of the fear that you feel from it and the nightmares that it can cause. My Bride also has Type 1 Diabetes, and she constantly worries that she may very well inherit the Alzheimer's that her grandmother suffered from. I'm right there with you on being the "fixer", and I so wish that I could tell you that everything is going to be okay, and that you will definitely be spared from that awful disease. All that I can offer, though, is the knowledge that love and faith can carry us through many, many things that we wouldn't otherwise believe ourselves capable of enduring.
dat not good. Hopefully he won't get hit hard even though they're saying Orlando might. Hope @seapeach will be fine too.Ugh! Just found out that my brother, who lives in Orlando with his wife and two kids, is staying to ride out the storm.
We truly appreciate it! She has really wonderful doctors (for the most part), and they're doing everything they can for her. MD Anderson really has done an exceptional job of handling her case so far. dat not good. Hopefully he won't get hit hard even though they're saying Orlando might. Hope @seapeach will be fine too.
Gotta go get ready, so will talk to y'all later
I vaped a nasty cigalike from tje bottom of my purse when I was stuck without med's for the last 3 days in the rehab after my last surgery. I'd had my sister bring an air freshner for me since I hate the smell in hospitals & nursing homes or rehabs. I've had nauseating roommate experiencesn sor air freshner is a must have!
My singles are numbered & I use them in numerical order. My married batts are marked alphabetically & stored in their pairs in marked cases. I use them in order also.
Doc suggested doing it again (because it appears that sometimes they have to do it 2-3 times to get it right
There are many, many reasons that I love that woman... one of them is that she tells it like it is.

when I go to places where vaping is frowned upon, I make sure to have a hanky handy to exhale into. People just assume an old guy with a hanky at his mouth is completly innocent.
with the Capella, the stronger the tea tast, the weaker the peach.
Actually no that's not it I just wondered. I tried 0 nic for a little while and for me the flavor was different so I went to 3mg. It might just be me but I really think the flavor is different with no nic. From my understanding nic is not a carcinogen anyway. I started at 36mg nic plus was smoking too. That was in 09 took me about a year to completely get off the smokes also. I honestly don't care what you vape everyone is different. I know what I like and that is what I vape. I occasionally try different flavors but usually just different combos of what I like.
