Cynny, I'm sorry...I didn't see your post! My thoughts will also be with you and your sister. I hope she will seek out doctors who are more willing to follow the surgeries up with chemo or whatever is needed. Take care

Thank you to everyone for all of your comforting, supportive posts and all the thoughts and prayers. They all mean so much to me and it is a comfort to know Dad is now with Mom. The last thing I said to him was, "Say hello to Mom and we'll see you all again someday." I sort of feel like I'm in a holding pattern since we've taken care of everything we can until my other brother gets home. Yesterday my 2nd DD and I went out and got some goodies for the staff who were taking care of Dad. They were all so wonderful to us and him. We picked up all of his belongings and donated his clothing to the NH. Zeno, I'm so sorry about your sister. Just go and be with her. I'm thinking her DH may be in denial as his way to cope, even if it makes it more difficult for you and your sis. You just do what you need to do and try not to let him get to you. (I know, easier said than done.) My thoughts and prayers are with you both. Cynny, My thoughts and prayers for you and your sis, as well. I'm sorry to hear what's she's going through and I hope you do find the answers you need. I'm praying for strength all of you though these difficult times. PS - Zeno it is a comfort to be able to come here and know there are others to share with, so don't ever feel like you shouldn't post.

Thank you all so much!! It is harder on me than I thought it would be. I get so upset every time I talk to her. I don't let her know that, though. I do let her know that it saddens me that she is having to go through this, but it is hard not to get her upset too. Thank you all for your support.

Thank you all so much for all of your prayers. I started radiation therapy and immuno therapy for the kidney cancer. Since I am a diabetic, the doctor thought it best not to do radical surgery when he's confident they can take care of it this way. I trust him completely and am doing what the he says. Thank you again for all of your prayers. Watching, I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your father. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Zeno, You and your sister are in my prayers. Try to be positive, but don't be afraid to feel whatever it is you are feeling at the moment. Those feelings can change in a blink of an eye too. It's so hard for everyone, not just the patient. Take good care of yourself. Cynny, you and your sister are also in my prayers. I hope your visit with your sister is rewarding and comforting to you both.

((((((Gumby))))) My prayers and good thoughts go out to you. I hope your treatments go well and your recovery is quick. Oh my gosh, thank you all so much for your prayers and good wishes for my sister and I. I am touched and grateful for all of you. Our family has been ripped apart for a long time. My mom has a lot of emotional issues and she and my father walked away from our entire family when my dad's parents both died. They left the night before my grandpa died and never came back for the funeral. When my grandma died, they showed up the day of the funeral after my sister and I helped my elderly aunt take care of everything and left an hour after they got their share of her money. When my mom's dad died, they never came at all. They haven't spoken to any of us in years other than an occasional hate-filled email which cuts to the core. So, of our original family, there is only me, my sister and my last grandma who is 92 and not well. The thought of losing my sister is terrifying. Between being near homebound because of post-polio syndrome and all the family stuff, I think I may just go nuts sometimes. I was going to say that you have no idea what TVCH has come to mean to me, but I know that all of you know exactly how I feel. I thank heaven for the day I first found this site. Love to you all.

((Cynny)) Wow! It's sad the things that happen in families. My prayers are for your sister and for you. My heart goes out to you. My sister is my best friend and I can't imagine having her be ill or having to watch her suffer in anyway. (Gumby)) My healing thoughts and prayers to you. Z and Watching, you are both always in my heart and prayers.

Gumby, this is a big thing in your life, but from all I've read (and I'm sure your doctor told you) your cancer responds very well to treatment. I am praying for you to be comfortable throughout your treatments and you come out the other side completely healed. Cynny, is there anything more complicated than family dynamics? I am so sorry your family is so torn apart. My prayers are with you for a fulfilled life any way.

Great News! Mom's being sprung from the hospital this afternoon instead of tomorrow! Phew, that's another crises over and done with. Hopefully that's if for a while, so we can regroup and enjoy life for a bit. Thanks to EVERYONE who's swung by here with kind and caring words of support, you all touched my heart and carried me through, again. I am absolutely convinced your positive vibes and prayers made all the difference in mom's speedy recovery. Luv you all!

Whoops! Even though the doc called 2x this morning to confirm mom's release today, I just got a call from mom's nurse that evidently mom's NOT being released today as her oxygen levels are not optimal yet, only 83-85%, although she is over the pneumonia. This intrepid nurse who's on the ball told the docs that she's 'not comfortable' sending mom home yet as her oxygen levels dip when they take her off it. So they want to wean her off the oxygen first and moniter her a bit more. And that's the latest update. And so it goes... (Joycie climbs back into her seat on the emotional rollercoaster ride.) Thank God for cautious and caring nurses!
