Saturday, June 27, 2009 | An Anxious story

In January he was diagnosed with esophagal cancer,they operated om March 11 '09 anf found out that he had staomch cancer and removed 3/4 's of his stomach. Path  report came back and there is still cancer cells at the join which is directly over the heart(a crucial fact when radiation is going to be part of the treatment.In the past month(June) we have driven to Regina every week or sometimes twice. It is 3.5 hrs one way. We been consulting with the chemo dr and the radiation dr and they have been doing many tests and theres also always the concern about the low red and white blood cells

Treatment(chemo) was suppose to start last week and when we went in,Euc's chemo dr said that tests show he has MM and he would be referring him to a specialist in that field. We have an appointment on the 29th.FrownHe has lost 70 lbs and can hardly eat any foods because of the surgery. He is very sick now how can he live through treatment. For 2 cancers!!! One there is no cure for and the other id going to require intense radiation of his heart for 5days for 5 weeks. And ther is no way they can protect his heart.

Money-only his old age pension and supplement.

I am scared,lonely,angry and feel like I'm drowning.

I need to be able to be what my husband needs.
