I just don't know what to say....
I was so hoping that the first surgery would clear the problem up....
All I can do is wish you and your family strength...

Still on my prayer list, Cor-Al. I can't believe how strong you and your family are.
Keep holding on. This, too, shall pass.

Nerf went to the doc and they referred him to a surgeon so they can 'scope out his stomach. He goes nest Tuesday. With all the meds he is on, he is really high risk for bleeding ulcers. Today he is at the dentist. He will probably have to havea tooth pulled -- maybe more than one. But with his medical history he will probably have to go to an oral surgeon which will cost who knows how much. <sigh> I really need him as well as he can be before all this comes down with me

Carol,
Hang in there, so sorry to hear about this latest development. You must be one tough cookie to go through all this. I pray to St. Jude when I go through a rough patch. Still sending prayers out to you and your family. BTW, I still have to go through the figures for you.

Busy busy week. Yesterday Mark and I met with the surgeon for his stomach 'scope. He will be having that done this coming Monday in St. Marys (at least we don't have to drive all the way to Michigan this time). Today we met with the radiation oncologist for close to an hour and a half, discussing treatment and the effects thereof. I am in the state of information overload at this point. She said though that the graft area looked like it was healing well BUT she will not do radiation until it is completely healed, so I have been granted a reprieve of a month to six weeks before I will get the treatments. I will have 34 treatments, once daily for five days out of the week for about 6 1/2 weeks. I was also told that I will also probably sustain even more permanent hair loss due to the intensity of the radiation she will have to use. She did mention that there are partial wigs that can actually be glued down semi-permanently though. Maybe that will be an option once this is all over. My next appt. is January 10th. At that time she will assess the graft and see if she can get things started.
I went back to work yesterday. I held up pretty well, but I was sure tired by the end of the day. I work tomorrow too, and Saturday.

Wow. Jedimom, you are one amazing gal. I mean, here you are, keeping your sense of humor while battling cancer, not only you but your hubby having health issues as well. I wish I could keep half your optimism when we go through something only a fraction as serious.
My prayer list seems to be filling up overtime. You and your family are still on it.
