I am so sorry that your husband was not man enough to stand by you in your cancer journey. When my husband, Frenchie was told he had cancer and was going through treatment we were told that this journey could either bring us closer or tears us apart. We had our ups and downs BUTT that was more due t...

Family is always so complicated when it should not be. Diane WORD ! WE HERE ... are ALL in Ron's corner, and yours CRguy Thank you all for that, you don't know how much that means to Ron and I. The decision has been made and we are moving Ron to the Palative care unit in about half an hour. I can't...

I know the topic of this thread is about "the grim reaper taking another swipe at Ron" but I fear that the grim reaper has gotten his hooks into him and is not letting go this time. Ron's daughter said her dad is like a cat with nine lives, but I told her he has used all of those nine live...

Hello everyone, Canada Day has come and gone here but we were graced with a visit from Ron's daughter for 5 days. Ron felt guilty that he could not do anything with her, butt she was here just to be with him. All in all it was a good visit. Prior to that we have a visit from his grandson and girlfri...

Hi Diane, I also hope he can get one more day in at the casino. Lee Hi Lee, Ron stopped going to the casino a few months ago as it was costing him to much money. He suddenly realized his brain was no longer clear enough to play the VLTs any more (I was so happy about his stopping) :D Diane

So....another appointment with the Palative care doctor yesterday. First thing to address was his bathroom issues. With his other pain meds they constipated him, with this fentanyl thing this does not so they may be giving him diarrhea. Considering all the stool softening meds on top of that his BUT...

Hello Everyone, Well hopefully Ron will be out of the hospital either tomorrow or Saturday. They finally found pain relief for him in the form of fentanyl in a 72 hour patch. I am hoping that the bladder infection is all cleared up but Ron will have to pay attention to pain in urination again and ca...

Hello everyone, Mrs. Frenchie here again :D Today is hubby's birthday (67) butt he is celebrating it in the hospital. :( Took him to the ER yesterday as I have been having some concerns with him this last week. We went Monday for meds for yet another bladder infection. Over the next few days I saw c...

Hello everyone, Mrs. Frenchie here. I have been thinking about all of you lately because I know that Frenchie has not been keeping up on this for a while. I think it is time for an update. The last 2 or 3 months have not been very good for Frenchie. He had been experiencing some new pain on his righ...
