HOPE CANCER CENTER

What a great bunch of gals at the Hope Cancer Center in Longmont ! ! !...they greeted Roger with hugs and more hugs.....they all remembered him from last time he had radiation therapy.....he was just mapped out today and then will start with treatments every day for ten days except for the weekends....they said that it would help with the pain.....it is not a cure....there is NO CURE....so if any one is thinking about starting up a cause...lets do it for a cure for prostate cancer that has returned......huh?
His spirits are lifted only to be let down again with pain.....one of his doctors said at the VA that pain is "fear trying to escape the body" it is just hard watching someone you love IN PAIN every day......
they will know more about results of the other tests like the MRI and blood work next week and he will get a PET SCAN next Wed. and that is supposed to tell much more what we will be facing next.....hopefully nothing for a while
I hope that everyone doesn't think that I am not hopeful, I am just a realist and only reporting what I see and hear from Roger and his doctors....
Believe me he gets all my attention when I finally can be at home from work and Aunt Wilma and Colbie and all the other things that keep me away.
I wish that all my attention could be just for him. His mother is a worry now too because she has been to many eye docs to find out why her eyes are failing her...they say it is because of bleeding behind the eye, but it doesn't seem to be getting better and we both cannot attend to her needs as well as we should, because of everything else....luckily she has wonderful support at her Church to take her to her appointments..Roger and I feel bad that we can't help her out more with things.....we just can't right now.....
God is good.....Colbie is doing good at home and is now 5lbs 4 oz and I got to hold her today for a really long time and that felt so good.....she is of course my little miracle.....she still has things to overcome too, but I know that she will.....
enough for tonite and this weekend.....will write more next week.....love to you all
