Hi KatyB - I remember you. You posted often back when I first joined the board because my Dad was diagnosed with Stage IV EC last year. He started having trouble swallowing the end of Feb. 07 and died from his first round of chemo June 4th. He was misdiagnosed at first as having papillary thyroid cancer - very curable - and Hopkins dragged their feet so long which is why he didn't have his first round of chemo until the end of May. Anyway, it was all fast. He had a feeding tube and a trach within about 5 weeks of starting to have touble swallowing. I had hoped and prayed for the miacle of remission, etc., but, now I realize our miracle came in the form of a chemo overdose. As a result, my Dad never actually had pain. I now feel it was divine intervention. I am so sorry your husband is in pain. I can't imagine the emotion pain you are feeling at this time. My Mom was with my Dad (dating and married) for 63 years!There is nothing I can say to make it better, but, please know, you do not walk this path alone. We all walk beside you. I will be thinking of you in the days to come and I pray your husband's "miracle" comes soon. - karen
