thank you everybody! we did not get the good news we were hoping for. the tumors in gary's lungs and kidney have grown and spread. we were so hoping simply for stability but that is not to be. dr. has discontinued the current chemo and will begin a new one in one month. i'm a mess but gary is, as always, positive and promises me he will continue to fight so i must gather my wits about me and fight right beside him.
thank you again and it goes without saying, continued prayers are much appreciated.
I didnt see this until now but did say a prayer for both of you whatever the outcome. You and I were posting at the very same time but continued prayers for both of you.
Continuing prayers for the both of you. I'm sorry you did'nt get the news you wanted. Your hubby sounds like such a fighter......and I love his sense of humor you have posted in many of your other posts.
thank you again, from the bottom of my heart. oh sterling, gary has the BEST sense of humor, he doesn't let anything get him down and although i know today's news was very bad, he is still determined. on the way home, i asked him what he was thinking about and he told me he was thinking about what he was gonna get me for Christmas. in 2010!! if anybody can beat this awful disease, he can! it's hard for me to be depressed when he is so upbeat all the time.
Maybe this test was a blessing...they found the chemo he was on didnt do the job....so maybe this new one will hit the mark and get the job done! Sometimes we cant understand what is happening in God's plan...I'm praying the plan is get that new chemo going and get rid of that cancer!!!!
I know it is hard to stay upbeat...Tim has been through 2 bouts of cancer now. I think you need to think about what to get him for Christmas in 2010...!!!! Good luck and may God Bless you with His healing hands.
