Coy passed away 15 Oct 2005. The cancer was so aggressive that each day it took a bigger toll on his body. The drs had given him a minimum of 6 months but he passed away 5 months after being diagnosed. I am so sad and at the same time so upset with the drs. They give you false hope and all the time tell you that you are getting better. When the disease progresses they simply say, "We are going to try something different". I read a lot about chemo and found out that many times chemo treatments have a reverse reactive to cancer cells. Instead of slowing them down, they speed up the process. Of course the drs don't tell you this. If they did then that would mean a possible reduction of pay in the pocketbooks. It was so difficult to see him decline. Hospice came in because he did not want to pass in the hopsital. All I can say to anyone reading this is please research all the facts and question the drs. I miss my husband so very much. laura Laurap Wed, 23 Nov 2005 00:00:00 GMT I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. My husband passed away on may 25, 2005 from liver cancer, we found out he had liver cancer on feb 23, i to like yourself have been having second thought on the treatment. I think the chemo just made the cancer progress faster. I some times wonder if he hadnt had the chemo, would he had lived longer, it just seem to me that the chemo made him so sick. When we first went to the hospital the doctor told use he had more than 50 % of his liver was good, and then he started chemo and within a month it had spread thoughout his liver. He was only taking it for a month if that. I just with the would have said even with chemo, he still only would have 6 months to live, i would have never let him do it, the last days of his life sick, tired and just not being himself, i to think they give you false hope. I would rather you tell me the truth even if its not what i want to hear, i could have prepared my self a little better, then you giving me false hopes. Well take one day at a time. Tina Phatroyal Wed, 14 Dec 2005 00:00:00 GMT Tina, I'm sorry for your lost. Yes, I can understand. You see I had been sick for about two years or so. I went to three or so doctors and they did not hear me. Last March (2005) I was found to have lung cancer in Pa were I lived, because my children lived in Fl I moved there for treatment. To my suprise not only was my lung cancer in the third stage, the doctors found that I had second stage breast cancer, Both cancers were separted. My children didn't think I be here today. Now my lung will be open again to remove a new growth, too small to say if it's breast or lung cancer. Until thet go in. I already had 1/3 of my lung removed. I have gone though chemo, radeasion and the lost og three ribs (one from cancer). No doctors will not say the truth. I lost my mother to breast cancer and I know that chemo and most treatment is hopeing for more time. One should remember money talks. Yeas there are those that make it, they are the lucky ones. The hell I have gone though in the past years, I hope my body can take more. Life is not what it was and it shall never be. Yet I will keep trying, for my children and grandchild. I do hope I'll see 60 (I'm 58). that's lest the two years. Yet if the pain gets to mush, it best to let go. I don't my children to have to live with it. So it may be the your husband may have though, it was time to let you have peace. I will know when it's time for my children to have peace. They have told me for as mush as they love me they will except what ever I decide, for they seen the hell I have gone though so far. --- Message edited by CancerCompass staff: for personal protection, email address removed.
