I have not been on in a while, but those of you who know me, and read some of my posts know I been fighting Colon Cancer that my husband has had for the last 4, yr's. There just was no more they could do, he passed peacefully with me by his side. He was the love of my life, we had great Doctor's , and we will miss him dearly. But he was tough, he fought it hard.
For all of you fighting the same battle may you win. Bless all Cancer fighter's, don't give in, keep fighting. We did and I'm happy for the time we had together. Bless you all.
I am sorry to hear about your husband. My husband who is a 9 year testicular survior is now battling stage four colon cancer, I truley did not know the true devistation of it untill today.
He just finished his 12th round of chemo, consisting of 5fu and Avastin. I thought that would be all. The dr informed me otherwise today.
We can say he is in remission as of today, I do thank God for that, but we do know that it will come back.
He will always be on chemo or something to keep it at bay. Right now it is Avastin. He will continue with the 5 fu, well everything exept the oxcolyplatin, then they will keep him on Avastin. If we stop all treatment it will start growing again.
He will die from it. Yes we do not know when, I do pray that I will get the 4 years that you got with your husband. I know it does not seem long enough. I want longer, my kids want longer!!!!
Our kids are 4 and 6. I want them to have a dad!
I do not know how to deal with this!!!
I think we all must have asked the same question over and over again, WHY!!!!
This is all new to me. I found out today from the dr the true meaning of stage 4 colon cancer. My husband has only been fighting for 9 months, He is a hard ass and I know it. I sure hope he stays that way.
I think this is supposed to be a positive and uplifting site, I am sorry if I have upset anyone. I will say, we are not giving up, It is just a hard pill to swallow!!!!
Any body know people who have lived a while with this. I would love to know!!!
Thank you all sooooo much!!! chirsty
