I know how you feel about Hans Ducky. i lost my Sam 3 years ago after 13 years. you wont forget him but it does hurt less , eventually.

I will be aiming to start on tues. AF. i have some kudzu from last time (managed2 weeks), but gave in when OH had the reccurence to the spine and we were told no more treatment. the next week, he started more chemo. that was confusing i can tell you!

Its 12.15pm here and OH still in bed trying to wake up.

Hi Roxane,

Welcome to this wonderful website. You can discuss anything you would like to. I haven't posted my story either, but I lurk around and post on many sites.

My grand daughter, Hannah, is just 9 years old and has a cancerous tumor on her spinal cord. She has had two surgeries, last one we went to John Hopkins, where the surgeon is a specialist with this type of tumor.. They cannot completely remove the tumor as it grows inwards and wraps itself around the spinal cord. So I know how hard this situation must be for you.

My mother was also just diagnosed with meylo dysplasia (spelling) a form of leukemia. I have just quit my job to take care of her. She lives alone and refuses to move from her home of 55 years.... Life is very difficult for all of us, so I am glad you are here and post whatever you would like, and on any thread you want to.

Thinking of you, Kali

Hi Roxane,

Great place here. Hello from Vietnam, by the way. I've been around here from October onwards. Treatment has helped me kicking booze, and being moderate since February.

Great friendships. And hey, share with us. Life's a bi... at times. I don't know what you're going through (as none of my immediate family members has had cancer yet), but I'm willing to listen.

It's nearly 9 pm here.

Tx Roxane,

I have been through it before so I know the pain subsides, but it is so hard...

I cannot imagine how confusing and frustrating your situation is. Your plan to start Tuesday sounds like a good one. Don't be too hard on yourself though. You certainly have your hands full.

As you can see by the responses, everyone welcomes your posting/venting/whatever. This is a group of people who really rally around one another, based on my short time here.

And Kali, my heart goes out to you. I really don't want to overwhelm people with pity I don't mean because I don't know them. But it hurts me to know when especially young children have to go through so much pain, as they don't know how to deal with pain and suffering.

Thanks Paddy,11

Life is difficult for most people, but kids that really does break your heart. However, I have to stop using every excuse under the sun to drink myself silly.

Have a great weekend, or what's left of it!

Roxane, hang in there we are really thinking of you...
