Both of my parents did hospice and that organization is incredible. The people involved are the nicest you could ask for. They are about making you comfortable without worry. I broke my neck in 1984 and have been an incomplete quad for this time. Pain stinks and I know first hand, and they will do all they can to help that part. Hospice impressed my entire family daily. I have been praying for you since I saw this thread and I will continue to do so. Talk to Jesus, the Son of God and He will comfort you. He sure has comforted me many times.

Larry.

I'll be at home tomorrow meeting with the Hospice people. I've decided to go for the quality of life option. The Oncologists don't seem interested in my case because of the Diabetes which rules me out. The Kidney on the right has a tumor that is 23 centimeters. It doesn't get much worse. I only have basic Medicare so it could probably bankrupt the family. Hospice care in 100% paid for. I stay in my apartment and have nursing help and housekeeping and lots of other assistance. Val has to leave for Guam Friday... she will handle things from Guam. If a good alternative materializes we'll consider. I can switch back and forth in and out of the program if I try treatment. I'll be all set up.

I'm tired so this will be it for this evening. I'll share tonights letter in the Cancer thread,


This is honestly not any attempt to derail this thread, but I find it so upsetting and hard to read that money is even the slightest worry for you at this time. My thoughts are with you and your family. I truly hope that there is a way for you to fight this evil illness that causes so much unhappiness.

Do you have Skype? My niece took a semester in Argentina, and the family found it an excellent way to keep in touch. (And her Spanish fluency is now amazing.)

Mind you, there is a nasty time difference with Guam.

Terrible news about your femur.
Still encouraging to see that you still have a positive outlook on your situation and that we are spending quality time with your grandchildren. That is someting that will alwasy remain with them, the time spent with them and your family not regretting spending the time with you.
It has finally sunk in that your illnes is terminal, I was hoping that you might be able to get cured of your cancer. I am often lost for words to express my feelings.
Reading your last post made me respond. I enjoyed your comments here in the forums. Always polite and friendly. I was always impressed on the , to me, hard life you wanted with your farm. But I am convinced you would have wanted it no other way.
I know I am rambling on, but I just want you to know that we do follow your posts and are happy from every comment you post here. Be it short or long.

Mathew

Of course when he said "inoperable", I thought the reaper had finally caught up...but without batting an eye he then said "So, we are going to start radiation daily to burn it out, (as you know).

Well...they did burn it out, and while I only have 35% of my lungs remaining, I still have a quality of life, and of course still get regular CT scans and I see my Oncologist this Friday.

As far as I am concerned, that Canadian gentleman is a true miracle worker.

He is Dr Peter Garrett at St Francis, Indy campus,(Stop 11) just off south I 65 by Greenwood.

I'm just convinced its' not over till HE is ready for us, and I hope HE is not ready for you yet.

If I can help you, PM me and I will contact you....Bob

P.S...Regardless of age you are fully qualified for social security disability and they can help with the costs.

That is the best thing you can do, the time spent with the family is something that will create fond and also sad memories that will remain for a very long time. But more than often a smile will be the memory that lingers the most and the longest.

Take care of yourself and remain as strong as you can, for as long as possible.

Well said, Mat. I wish to convey the same message but, alas, I can not find the words to do so.

Do take care Rhondalynn and do remain as strong as you can, for as long as possible.

Taking great care not to push things and get into trouble.

I cannot afford another injury from a bump or fall.
