Dear Tom Anticipatory anxiety is a bitch I agree. I often get more worried imagining than anything else. We humans hate uncertainty I think so we fill it with imaginary horrors. You certainly sound like you have been in the wars though. People on this site do get the cancer journey though even if not exactly the same place at the same time. I really wish you all the best with your treatment. Good luck GHT ... View more

Dear Raelene A lot of ppl create a scrap book of photos, cards, recollections of family events and stories which add an extra dimension. My big regret when my g/father died of Alzheimer's is that I never took the opp to speak to him about his life. He had been a full colonel in ww2 and had done other amazing things. Maybe you could tape a conversation with your dad about some stuff he is proud of or things about his life you have always wondered about. I hope the time you have left with your dad can be as peaceful and fulfilling as possible and as pain free as possible Best wishes GHT ... View more

Dear April (not a fool just unlucky) This social media stuff is soooo new to me too. I hate the idea of Facebook but this site is the only place I can connect with others with cancer. Thanks for your interest re surgery. My respiratory system tends to shut down under anasthetic. Even Midazalam for short procedures leads to my oxygen sats diving below 90 of course anesthetists and their insurers don't want to pay out so my 20% mortality chance for major surgery (hysterectomy in my case) does their actuarial heads in. Even if hormone therapy reduces the cancer the chance of recurrence is high I think. Also I can't stay on high dose provera long term as it increases chance of heart attack and stroke and breast cancer. Yippee! I hope your gall stone recedes as gall bladder pain is no fun. I had mine out yrs ago but even then I stopped breathing. It was actually very peaceful though. Best wishes GHT ... View more
