Beth, our Hospice nurse, came by this morning and "reloaded" Dave's pain pump. They have worked miracles....I am determined to "pay forward" the kindness that they have given to us!
I want to thank all of you for the support, phone calls and e - mails....they are the answers to the "what can I do"....
Some of you have been concerned enough to suggest web sites...don't please. Some of them, although fairly accurate are very blunt and certainly offer no comfort at all. I am not sure that you would have suggested them had you first read them for yourselves. It leaves me with the task of watching Dave's heart in his throat and that makes me very angry .......
His cancer came back in the spine, it skipped the soft tissues and organs initially, so it does not follow the "typical" tumor malignancy that can be easily measured.....I am not going thru this with blinders or uninformed. I have a wonderful doctor that goes thru every report, sentence by sentence, until I understand, and we have Curt Pickert, our friend and a very informed doctor who has been with us since this was first diagnosed.
My purpose in "blogging" has been to inform accurately Dave's journey, and blogging also helps me put things in perspective each day. I read the messages and we have both appreciated the strength that friends and family have given us. Please respect our wish to gain information on our own.
