I'm still Glad..

Postby jvaime21 » Sun Dec 13, 2015 8:50 pm

Hi everyone ,. How you doin guyz ?? Im so sad to be back here as im not seeing some of our friends anymore . Its been almost one year i guess.. For my last update of my husband situation.. Since he went home in his origin country .. We are very busy almost year for his another treatment.. And another 4 cycles again..
We still hoping that it will be better even a bit. But sadly not.. Side effects are too much . So we ended april his trearment as nothing changes or no changes in his tumor and much 2x worse how he feels for everyday.. He doesnt wNt to quit but his body telling him again.. As the doctor said last year that hes lucky if he can make it for one year alive.. But .. Its been 14 months . Since the doctor said.
We just still continue the immune cell boosting.. And he gain weight now. But i know the tumor is progressing.
I can say that Wenstill feel bless and glad that despite of hard time the whole year he is still alive.. Even he cant walk well anymore.
Thank you for reading ..

Merry christmas and advance happy new year !!

Hi Retchel,

Good to see your post. I think of you and your DH often. Sorry it is not better for DH, butt sometimes we must choose quality of life over quantity.

Gaining weight is a good news.

Enjoy your time together. Make those memories now. May you both a good holiday and a Happy New Years.

((((HUGS))) to you and your DH.

Hi everyone ., thank you guys .. For thinking of me and hugs.. Im not so often to check in .
Yeah, gaining weight is good just because of Immucell . That hes taking. .
One night he is so down .. Still couldnt accept everything.. Couldnt play to our 5 1/2 yr old son.. Or even to attend a stage play in school.
But i tried so hard to make everything eaiser.. People say behind my back that im easy going for everything especially in my DH situatiin .
Its tough to raise your son alone with a very sick husband.. But i dont want to cry and cry all day or everyday.. I cant show my DH a feeling that its too difficult for me.. I cant show him im down?? I need to give him strength and be glad everyday that he is alive .. Watching his favorite sport ., laughing watching comedy show. And to be thankful that his still here .. overcome another day and the terrible night of pain.
Some people i dont understand it..just Because they saw me im not crying or showing them of my sadness . They thought i dont care of my DH situation. Well da-- n them !!!! ! I dont need gossip in my life..
Sorry for this i just need to shout it out..

Advance merry christmas again ..
