    • About Me

      My husband and I are retired because of physical problems. We minister through Follow the Fish Motorcycle Ministries, but this is on hold right now because of cancer in my husband. It is lung cancer but has spread so making it stage 4. So right now I'm about caring for my husband.

    • Close Caregivers

      My husband has lung cancer that has spread to several other areas of his body. I'm having trouble being a good caregiver to him when he is cranky and yelling at me when he is in pain.

    • Close Family & Friends of Cancer Patients

      I'm here because of my dear husband having lung cancer that has spread to many other places in his body. I need to not feel so alone in this battle. Our daughter led me to this group.

      Treatments

      Amaryl Working / Worked
      It has worked good for me.
      Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
      This was working when I was doing it. Since cancer entered my life through my husband it has been harder to eat healthy.
      Metformin Working / Worked
      This worked better after my doctor upped the amount I was taking. It seems to be working good now.
      Physical Exercise Not Working
      Why? Because of my physical limitations. However, now that cancer has invaded my husband I'm definitely getting more exercise in by taking care of him and doing things he used to do.
