Hi Deb, your son Joe sounds like a wonderful, strong man. I completely agree with him to give this your best shot & I'll add the words... fight fight fight fight!! Best wishes for your SIL, spud.. maybe you can give Deb some of what your SIL has been dealing with.. I don't know what to say or which way to turn- I mean there's always hope!!! Hugs to you and Dan, Deb!!!!!!!

Hi Peach, Well I did the mask today , There was no way around it . They said taping my neck & head was not working & giving ten without any good results. I gave in & they have to give me double the rad. They said I refused the chemo & that will not have a very good chance of working well. After the all the Rad. they will do the surgery. Really I don't care anymore, I am sick of fighting will it all. Joe is really a special son & there is nothing he would not do for anyone. He owns a 2 very successful restaurants in Colorado Springs & he did it all on his own. I am so proud of him. And Lisa is in the medical field and could not help me any more than she has. She is my special angle. Well I will let you know what happens again, Thanks for everything my friend, Deb

Deb, Hi! First and foremost, please don't give up the fight. I know its easier said than done but don't give up!! Maybe ayer the radiation and surgery is over there will be another option for chemo.m. hail anything with hope is better than not fighting. I wish I had just the right words to give you more comfort but I don't. You have such a wonderful family and friend support group... Don't give up!!! Hugs big time to you!!!!!!

But for some reason I was feeling my neck & said to DH feel this is it smaller to you? He said it does!!! I am so happy!!! i HAVE A REAL Bad case of thrush in my mouth. I cannot eat anything. Even water hurts now . Since the tube was put in I have gained a whooping 1 POUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 91 Now...The DR. said I will start to put weight on .She said stay away from sugar cancer loves that. I asked her doesn't that mean the cancer has spread. NO she said just stay away from sugar & I hate anything that has sugar in it. So that's good for me. My best friend is coming here for 3 days tomm. Can't wait it's Dan's sister. I met her before I met Dan, Isn't that weird.

Re: Happy Birthday, debfla53!!!!

Good news Deb,I have been hoping this post would pop back up when we got home from Montana.

My sil was due for another Chemo yesterday,but over the weekend his neck got swollen,so they put him on IV antibiotics and again the next 2 days.He lost another 10#he is not eating and also not using enough of the liquid feeding tube stuff.My dd is beside herself,she is at work all day,is he giving up we wonder? And he's insisted on going back to work, plus a 50 mile drive each way.
