Unhappy Yes Me Love

Hubby has 'salted' areas of mets to the brain, he will recieve 15 treatments for WBR & 15 treatments for his pelvis. Being stage IV with bone mets is bad enough, but he had a couple of headaches, Thank God, that alerted him to the potential problem. My Love has never taken a sick day in the years that I have known him and never gets headaches, (I get migraines) so we knew something was brewing.

As a matter of fact when we were driving home together one fine August day in 2006, he mentioned that something was going on with his body and he KNEW IT WAS BAD!!! That was the worst day of both of our lives, not diagnosis day. Again, the day before we had nothing to fight with, had no idea of what we were up against. The day of diagnosis was bad too, but atleast we had the power to know what the fight was. Today we stand here knowing what we are up against, we have the power to fight and the HOPE for the future.

Sometimes he will ask me "Bopski (lil loving nickname) what in the world ever happened to me??" Nothing has happened to him to change him, just cancer. (Just cancer, what a horrible summary!!). My answer is always "Genetics Baby, Genetics". What do you say to a person when they ask that?? For they have not changed, especially by choice!!

He has been very blessed so far, treatment stopped working and that is awful, but the side effects and everything else is pretty good. I have been following your journey and I want to thank you again. Cancer is a very private thing and you can either share by giving back or you can share for the people who cannot give back!! (either too shy, too sick, too embarassed, etc)

I love you Lu Ann, please keep that 'Award Winning Warrior Fight', for you have and always will need it!! And Lu Ann, glad you mentioned that you should have only raised animals. My son gets mad when I say that Mookie is my first born. LOL. Okay, maybe he has reason!!

Waiting For A Miracle...and expecting one soon>>Believe51
