I just saw the news myself Judy.(FB) She will be missed. If it wasn't for her spunk and determination to fight, I may not have had the courage myself. Her sense of humor helped too! RIP Cindi, may you be with all your loved furbabies frolicking in the tall grasses on a beautiful sunshiney day...

I know a lot of you guys on FB and they already know...but some of my BYC friends might not know that my husband of 38 years has passed away. :( I was with him & watched him take his last breath. I hope he's in a wonderful place now with no pain and not attached to any tubes, wires, machines...

A special to 3goodeggs.

Hi JJ Well, they think the CT scan shows an infection from either torn tissue or bone. Now we need to see an Infectious Disease Specialist. We see her on the 22nd. I think he needs an antibiotic drip for who knows how long.....anyway we're getting there. Hopefully when all the nice weather...

Hi everyone - I haven't been around BYC for awhile. Saw your request JJ! Here's the update: Paul (hubby) has struggled a lot with the treatments for his throat cancer. Radiation & chemo at the same time. Of all things radiation was the worst for him, he had a very high dose for the tumor...

Thanks Jan & Judy. I'm hanging in there. He's getting some strength back. Antibiotics worked for both things. He's got swollen feet from inactivity....also a bedsore on his butt....yeesh. When we first got home, he went (with the walker) to use the bathroom....he fell down and I couldn't...

Update on hubby - He's been in the hospital since last Sunday. Developed pneumonia, his system is very compromised....they did a culture on his sputum - MRSA. Gad, could it get any worse? Anyone entering his room has to put the gloves, gown & mask on. :( He's in a lot of pain (throat) lots...

Glad to see your post JJ - I'm sorry about your Dad and the heavy stuff....thinking of all you guys......

DH starts chemo AND radiation on July 16. Three rounds of chemo (depending on how he handles it) radiation for 30 days or so. It's a pretty big tumor and the ENT Doc said less than 50% chance of survival. Then we had an appt at the onc/rad Doc and he said 60 to 70 percent chance. And his...

I'm so sorry chicknmania...........

thanks Steff. He had his surgery for biopsy. The Doc asked what oncologist did your wife use???? That says something don't it? He also had a tracheostomy done so he could breathe when they did the biopsy.......don't know if that's permanent.....poor guy, lotsa pain. I'm sure he's feeling...

That's the way to do it. Her way.

My hubby is going in for biopsy surgery in his throat. There is a tumor there and he has difficulty talking We both have a feeling it's not good. This Thursday's the big day. He's pretty calm about it, me too - we both know how to handle this by now. There is always HOPE. But I gotta...
