Hi! I can understand how your husband must feel. I hope for both of you that in time it will get better. I am having a kidney removed for a large mass which has not spread *thankfully* to another organ/lymph nodes. This is not my first go round with cancer. I had breast cancer (caught early) in 1990.
I was VERY angry for a long time. It was a time to come to terms with the fact that I am mortal. That someday, that I was NOT in control of, I would die.
I'm living it right now and to be honest, I am aware of 5 to 7 steps or stages of the grief process, but they don't matter, because you survive one day at a time ....baby steps, and not time frame, since everyone heals at their own pace. It's been 2 years for me and I do feel better, but I am not yet completely healed...it takes a long time.
Hi - IC
I suspect your anger may be misdirected. You learned 3 months ago that you had an incurable, progressive disease of the central nervous system. That's a pretty big concept to wrap your head around.
When I learned I had MS I thought I was dealing with my new world just fine.
When Adam and Eve were created they were given the choice of obedience and life, or disobedience ( eating of the Tree of Knowledge ) and death. They were given no promise of being transported to heaven as a reward or the threat of eternal torment as punishment. There are numerous references in the Bible to death being done away with eventually, as part of the solution to all of mans ills and death is referred to as an enemy in 1 Corinthians. So this is my thinking on why we fear death.
I just went in for a transvaginal ultrasound yesterday (11/10) and the tech told me that I was 5 weeks and 5 days. She said she could see the sac and the yolk sac, but no baby yet. She told me this is normal and that the doctor will schedule me for another one in about 1.5 weeks (she did). I am worried and scared to death. I'm 24 and both my husband and I are very excited about having our first child. Please help put my mind at ease. Thank you in advance for any replies.
By 8 weeks my butt got huuuge and I cant afford new clothes or a belly band so Im wearing the same 5 pairs of pants lol.
Please keep in mind that this varies according to the location of the metastisis. I personally know of survivors of many years with mets to the bone. It would also depend on your Mother's general health and what treatment will be prescribed. Another point is that all the lumps you describe in your Mother's breasts may not be cancerous; it would only take one malignant lump to cause the metastisis. Kindest regards ....
My father is in the final stages of dementia. He can no longer hold anything or walk. He quit speaking about 4 years ago. I just was recently told that he no longer chews. This has been for about 6 weeks. His food is thickened so he can swallow it. He has lost about 20 pounds in 5 months. His albumin level is 2.7, and 2.5 is sometimes the criteria for hospice care. My question is, how much longer before he loses his ability to swallow?

I think there are different stages of addiction..the early stages which are most easily broken and then the last stages where one has to do or die.
Actually as i type I realize that one always has to do or die because if one does not stop in the early stages it can progress to a much more difficult time and a more difficult recovery.
Hello and welcome to our forum! I a sorry to hear of your diagnosis and especially the vertigo (It's miserable).
Jane covered most of the material but I wanted to ad a welcome to you that we are hear to listen and to support...we KNOW what it s like.
You will know doubt go through a variety of emotions as you learn to live with this disease in your body. It is a learning process and it does follow Kubler - Ross' grieving process of grieving.
Grief lessens in time, but you never "get over it", it's just not so sharply painful, when you get out of that tunnel of pain - you'll start remember how he was, in a special way, not just remembering the pain and loss. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, wrote a great book, it's been around for years, it's called "On Death and Dying". It makes totaly sense, the steps are different for each person, or in a different order, but it does explain your feelings.
