Ian Sharrock Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 My prayers go out to you and your family; I know what you're going through. My wife has cancer (I refuse to give it a capital letter). The oncologist has told us it will be terminal sometime; could be 6 months, could be 10 years. Point is THEY DON'T KNOW. Her recovery is excellent at the moment and I believe we'll share many years together. A positive attitude is a must in these situations. We will get through this; I believe you will too.

marino Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 A guitarist friend has just survived a severe brain tumor operation, and is now on his way to complete rehabilitation. So James, just keep thinking positive, and focus all your energy into fighting the illness. It *can* be beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Horne Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 It's great that your family member has a very curable form of cancer. I can think of at least one family member (my mother) and several friends who are no longer here as a result of cancer. Please pass on my best.

Mr. Nightime Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 A very good friend and former co-worker of my wife is a breast cancer survivor. There are more and more prople out there that survive what was once a death sentence. Your friend will be one of those growing number that have beaten the big "C".

stepay Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Thoughts and prayers indeed. On top of that, here's some HOPE. In 2000 my then 60-year old father was diagnosed with an "incurable" blood cancer. They did the standard treatment which was geared toward slowing the progress, and lo and behold, he became cancer free and was the first diagnosed patient ever to be "cured" of this particular cancer. Now 9 years later he is still cancer free and greatly enjoying his retirement as he and my mother travel the country in their Casita camper. Treatments are better and better all the time. Good luck to your family member. Steve (Stevie Ray) "Do the chickens have large talons?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linwood Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Been there. Scary stuff,even when they tell you it's curable. One thing I did that really helped me was to get copies of all my tests, keep them in a binder or scan them into pdfs. Study them and learn what the numbers mean. Read everything you can. Once you know what you're dealing with, it makes it a bit easier and you'll be in the loop on your treatment. Lotta things comin' at you pretty quick right now. Thank God for your wife, right? The good news is you'll never sweat the small stuff again. Damn, and here we thought 2009 was bad enough and almost over. Shit! I wish you only good things. This too will pass and things will be back to normal. Trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobadohshe Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 This thread is timely as it causes me to take a look at myself during a tough financial and personal time that I'm going through, take a deep breath, and thank God for my fine health. When you're healthy you have nothing to complain about! Best wishes to your family member. I'll be thinking about him and hoping for the best.

SK Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 A curable form of cancer is the good news, so things should be fine. More dire circumstances can work out too - my sister had a serious form of cancer twice, and both times it didn't look good at all. She recovered completely from both and maintained her opera career even right after chemo. CD: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/stevekessler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
