Today we had a doctor's appointment and a chemo treatment. Dad wasn't feeling well in the morning - he has been having a lot of stomach pain after he eats which is making him not eat which isn't good. He did loose weight this week but hopefully since we think he is having acid reflux and the medicine he'll be taking, that will get him eating again. He said he wants to eat and knows he has to eat but it's just too painful.
The only thing I did not like about the doctor today and he is a great doctor and all and he tells us the reality of everything and doesn't hold back which is good and bad. We were talking about something and he said well in all reality you may not be here next year. And mom and I were both well he will be because we have hope and he will be that 1% that makes it past your diagnosis. I just didn't like him saying that....
Dad did take chemo today and he will go back next week. They are scheduling some scans too to since if the chemo is doing anything to the cancer or what is happening in there. But I am not sure when those are and he doesn't see the doctor until the 26th - so it's always waiting.
I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Marie Tobler for scheduling that mass on Tuesday night. What a wonderful experience it was for everyone and I just wanted to say Thank you for allowing us to all be there and for inviting us.
Much love to you all,
A big THANK YOU!!goes out to Marie for letting us all know about the healing Mass and another big THANK YOU!! to Dave for the disc with all the pictres! Mike and I were looking at it and it was great to see all the different pictures of the sisters (Helen, Eunice, Vivian, and Bea) in their hey day! I'd like to say what a beautiful bride Toni was! Thanks for taking the time to put it all together Dave.

Dear Bill, Cookie and Michelle
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry the doctor spoke to you in that way. There is NO ONE except God who knows when it is our time to go. We simply must double our prayers and always hope that our prayers are heard. Remember what Fr. McAlear said that God is a loving and compassionate God.
Love
