Hi we have all been praying for our loved ones and just don't know what else to do. We go on praying for a miracle its so hard to think of the strong person we knew and what the crappy big C has done to them life just doesn't seem fair at times you work hard all your life and look forward to the later years when you can relax and enjoy each other then this C comes along and messes everything up. Still we keep praying So we keep the faith Hugs to you all marshie ... View more

Thanks for making me a friend. I hope you are feeling a bit better today, I know the days seem to meld together and there all a bit the same but if you have someone to talk to or vent it helps getting it out of your system especially if you don't know them. Anyway I will be here if you want to get something off your chest I have been at it for about 10yrs all told so hoping to hear from you. marshie ... View more

Hi it must be very hard for you to be on your own miles away from anything. Has he said why he doesn't want any help? even keeping the doctor out makes it harder for you.How long has he been sick I know its very hard on the carers I am one too,my husband had floor of mouth cancer over 4yrs ago he cant eat solids and at the moment seems to be getting weaker the radiation messed him up a lot noo saliva and his neck is all messed up he keeps having injections but they don't seem to help. We live in Fremantle WA so we are close to hospitals and doctors. I really feel for you all on your own I send a warm hug marshie ... View more

Hi Pamela well we had a nice quiet day a lot of phone calls from all over the world from children and grand children and some more on FB. Alas the oysters wouldn't go down I thought he was choking to death I think with just having smoothies and mainly drinks I think he cant swallow anything anymore. (don't worry the oysters didn't go to waste ) Hugs marshie ... View more
