Apparently you overlooked my post regarding the pathology report? DAVE was diagnosed with an aggressive, high grade, stage IV LEIOMYOSARCOMA. The biopsy was 5/25/05, we were told that day it was a sarcoma. We rec.'d the pathology report the following week, on 06/02/05, when it was identified as LMS. Next came a couple more doctors and MDA ANDERSON in late JUNE/early JULY. The prognosis was given as 3-6 months. DAVE passed away, at home on 09/01/05. It's ironic that you posted today because it is just now that I have gotten a little mental strength and decided to get online and read a little.
I am so happy that you have been able to control this monster. I would like to hear your specifics and will keep you in my prayers for continued success and health. We were simply blindsided with this devastating illness. DAVE was 46 when diagnosed. He only lived 3 1/2 more months and I swear he aged 10 years (at least) every month:(
I miss him dearly and still have yet to process the cancer diagnosis, let alone absorb the fact that he is gone. The leaves are changing and temperatures dropping, however emotionally I am still back in MAY, when my world simply stopped. I have no words of advice or wisdom for anyone. I can only verify that life is short and nobody knows what tomorrow brings? My goal now is to try and process the past few months and possibly learn to experience some sort of living again. Right now, that seems a mere distant dream. Any suggestions to get me jumpstarted out of this fog is welcomed and appreciated. It's comparative to one of those dreams typical of running thru quicksand in slow motion:( Peace, prayers and best wishes, Connie
