Thanks for taking the time to reply. Every story
and every piece of advice helps me knot to feel
as alone. We will get thorough this. But we
can't dso it on our own. I wish my husband was
more a people person. He is very much a loner
and does not usually seek out the help or
support of others. I think it would make a
difference for him if he did. Getting off the
chemo has helped his state of mind. I'm just
worried about what comes next for him. Again,
thanks for the support... its needed and
appreciated.
Thanks for getting back to me. When I hear about
others going through this I don't feel as alone
and I can count my blessings. It sounds like you
are getting a good amount of support from your
church. That is great. We are Jewish and I
haven't been the best at keeping my faith alive
in my house. I need to reach out more to the
community. Thanks for the inspiration and I hope
you hang in there as well. Your sharing helped
me. Keep in touch.
My husband got colon cancer about 6 months ago.
After his operation he was perscribed 24 bouts
of chemo. He made it through 6. He decided not
to continue because it made him seriously ill
and he ended up in th hospital in isolation. He
also lost his job and I am a freelance artist
scrambeling to make ends meet for three.I have a
very bright 13 year old entering high school.
Things are very scary now and I need any advice
on how to make it through. He's very depressed
and are savings wont hold out for long.
My husband was diagnosed with colon cancer about
6 months ago. He started chemo and could not
handle the side effects. Out of 24 sessions he
did complete 6. His prognosis would have been
excellent if he had finished the chemo. He
couldn't. He ended up in the hospital very
scared and in bad shape. He has also lost his
job in the process and I am a freelancer. We are
going through the funds rather quickly and It's
scaring me. We have a daughter just entering
high school. I am crying all the time and in
seed of some support and advice.
