Feb 4, 2015 at 6:20 am my wife was released from this corruptible body we are born with. I know her soul is free but I miss her so. She was initially diagnosed with stage 4 cancer upon colonoscopy 3 years ago . She worked full time as an RN for 2 years and 10 months at UNM hospital while bi weekly r...

Well, my wife is about 3-6 weeks from death. She and I found hope in Jesus. For us, sin is universal and the cause of pain and suffering. The cross and resurrection is different in that Buddha, Muhammed etc did not raise from the dead, nor was crucififed. I was a drug addict and my wife had bi polar...

Appreciate the feedback and care. She is a strong woman and says she is not ready for hospice. She says " I am going to take it one year at a time". Yet in her heart she knows different. I have just got her to go together to see a therapist. I said go for me if not for you. I will work on ...

Just another update.She sleeps about 18 hrs/day minimum now. Her stomach is enlarging some. We are managing her pain. We do have referral for hospice but she is not ready. I doubt she has 3 months but maybe. The dr would not give timeline but said if we are going to do a trip do asap. She does not e...

The pothead cartel is wanting you to believe it is the cure all. I am moderate and do think it helps with nausea and appetite.

The oncologist added 60 mg oxycotin (MS time release every 12 hrs) she sleeps 16 plus hrs per day. I think maybe cutting back to 40 mg may help. She is acting looping and disoriented on occasion. I am going to call dr and ask for reduction of pill size. She was just taking oxycodone 20 mg pills at 2...

So last week her plalets were low so they gave her nelestra or something to help. Well, she came back this week for treatment and no improvement in platlets. Dr said we need to stop chemo and do comfort care at this point. She has been had chemo for 3 years with few breaks. I guess its time. I wonde...

Today we go meet with Oncologist. Due to some issues with soars in mouths, vomiting etc, they are cutting back on 5FU and just Irinotecan and avastin. My wife is an RN and her best friend who is RN called me yesterday. I cried alot but she said the chemo is not working and she needs to consider pali...

Yes, we have alot to be thankful for. She has had alot more good days than bad over the last three years. We take little weekend trips together. Her oncologist still thinks chemo is the best way for her. I think it is because of the multitude of leasons and any operation puts her off chemo for 6 wee...

I really appreciate this site. I have learned and received encourage regarding my wife. She does not want to participate in therapy or sites. I think it is a coping thing. She is the strongest woman I know ( honest). 3 years ago diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer. She has worked fulltime getting fu...

Hi, I have not been on much or in a while. I could never get my wife to use it as a resource. She will be 3 years diagnosed with stage 4 colon c. She is still working at hospital as RN with mets to liver,lungs and not sure( she does not want CT anymore) she was on Ironitecan but has switch back to A...

My wife Leslie is having irregular bowel movements and discomfort at 4 weeks post reversal. They also removed tumor in colon. At first they focused on liver and then got it managed some what and made decision it was time for reversal.She says her quality of life seemed better before reversal. Her bo...

He thought she would have had one by yesterday but not definite. Just wondering if anyone with reversals took awhile.

Hi all, My wife had the tumor from her colon removed and colostomy reversed. It has been 7 days since operation and still no bowel movement. She has been on pain meds which can cause constipation but we feel she is due. She has only been on solid food for two days. Your feedback is appeciated.

My wife is having some pains in her liver area spuratically and a few other places. She has been off Irinetican/cetuxamab for 5 weeks. Does the body sorta throw a little fit like coming off drugs or something?
