Am right there with you, BipolarNurse.

These are the tough days of life, but we'll all be together trying to help with prayers and
positive thoughts for you.

Expect to hear from you about your husband again when you have a chance.

Prayers going up now for everyone.
Thanks for this!

I don't pray often, but I prayed for you both last night and will continue.

Cancer's such an odd, individual, disease. The strongest with the state-of-the-art treatment aren't always the ones who make it through ... as a nurse, you know that. I send the best healing and comforting thoughts flowing through ... ask my guardian angel to chat with his & keep his spirits & willpower strong even if his body isn't. Amazing and unexpected things happen every day.
Meanwhile, you please take very best care of you!!

I'm not doing well, of course, but the good news is, this doesn't seem to be sending me into any sort of psychiatric crisis. Anxiety is through the roof, but I'm dealing with that by using my 'stash' of PRN Ativan, only using a half-milligram when I feel it spiraling out of control. Pdoc is aware (and was himself devastated when I gave him the news) and OK with my using the Ativan when I need it.

It's Stage IV with multiple areas of spread to the liver, and perhaps his lungs as well. He has 3-6 months without treatment, 6-18 tops with aggressive chemo. He's going to fight, but I don't think he has a clue how miserable he's going to be.....this whole situation stinks on ice!!!

I can't believe it. This was supposed to be OUR time to live and enjoy life without kids, sick sisters and full-time work. Now he's going to leave me and I have to stay here......and I don't want to. The hell of it is, I can't do anything about it because my kids don't need to lose us both at the same time---it wouldn't be fair to them at all.

So, that's the news from here. Right now, I'm basically numb.....So much to think about, so little time.

You have worked so hard to get to this time alone with him, without responsibilities for the children and work, and now are being robbed of that time and of him and his affection.
Thanks for this!

I am at a loss for words...BipolarNurse I am sorry you have to go through this. Just as people have said to me it is not supposed to be this way.

I have read your blog, I knew you have great faith. I pray god holds you tight through this incredibly hard time.

In my mind I am reaching through this Internet world and give you a big long hug and a shoulder to cry on if you need too. I will be here for you in any way I can.
