CT showed multiple tumors throughout my liver! THANK GOD MY INNER VOICE TOLD ME TO MOVE QUICKLY or I suppose I could have discovered this too late... Too many to count!
I am taking you to Dana Farber Wednesday, these words will repeat in my mind over and over. Dear Andi, as you know these were the same words used to describe Ed's brain.....Too many to count! We have claimed our lives back and not to give it up now. He refuses to die from this disease and reminds me constantly that he will not willing let cancer take him without a huge fight. I sometimes hear you when I listen to him and I find comfort in that. You know I have been 'naked' on this site for so long now, that I bare my soul on this journey for those to see. I feel that I need to share this, I know that is is to help as much as get help for me. Reading this post tonight made me cry because as you know, I share so many of your feelings. I thank you for writing this post, I feel like I was meant to see this before I went to DFCI with him. I think sometimes without focusing on the reality of his Stage IV, Her2+++, Male, Inflammatory breast cancer, but I do see the reality. I have never got over that like you have and hope God gives me the time to conquer that part. I thank you old Friend, for supplying me with more inspiration and hope to find the courage to beat down this beast when it has never looked this bad. Thank you for baring your naked soul, you are appreciated and loved so very much. I have missed your posts and am happy you are back with such frequency>>Believe51
