Hope Departed Yesterday

Bobby had a cat scan Monday and got the results yesterday.
The cancer has grown in his lungs and liver despite 43 chemo
treatments. The only drug left is Strivarga. Google it,
the side effects are so horrible that I can't want him to
take it. Blisters in your mouth and hands and feet. Possible liver damage, possible heart attack. It is his
decision but I think it is time to call off the torture and
go to a vitamin, Issiac tea and a milder health regime. I
cried myself to sleep last night, not that it did any good.
I lost my father this same way.

This horrible disease has robbed me of two of my beloved
family while I live on and on. There is no justice when
two of the best and sweetest men I know have had to suffer
and face an early death. My daughter in law and my grand
children will lose the most caring and loving father.

Dear Jeri, I just read this post. What devastating news. My thoughts and heartfelt sympathy are with you. Nothing to be done but get through somehow.

We are still fighting this. We are trying vitamins, herbs and are getting a different oncologist. If the worst happens, we will get through it somehow. The support of all my blog friends means so much
to me.

We have so much love for him, if only it would heal him.

I think of you often. I'm so sorry.

We are trying to persuade him not to take this awful drug but to seek
a second opinion.

I am so very sorry to hear this. I cannot image how painful this must be for all of you.

Ellie and I don't want him to take this drug, but ultimately it is his
decision. We think it would make his time on earth so miserable that it
wouldn't be worth a few months of life and I believe it would kill him
because of the risk of stroke and heart attack.

no words

There are no words to describe my sadness or the loss we have finally
faced up to.
