Vacation and Some Sad News

I am going to be going to Nova Scotia for 3 weeks starting Wed. We are going whale watching, seeing family and sightseeing. We are also going to see where the animal rehab place called “Hope for Wildlife” is filmed for TV. I am taking the laptop so I might be here every day for a few minutes but probably not. @PeteMcc will be here. So if there are any problems, message/contact him.

As most of you know last Sept. my husband started treatments for cancer and he finished in Dec. and then he had surgery in Jan. of this year where they removed a part of his lung. It was just one lymph node. He was declared cancer free.

Well he had a CT scan in June and they found it was back. This time it is in both lungs and has spread to his liver. It is inoperable. They can’t remove any more of the lung. The doctor said WITH treatments he can delay the end for 2 years…maybe.

So I NEED this trip to make some lasting memories and good times before he gets really sick and not able to do anything. Right now I am focusing only on the trip…Will deal with the other things when we get back and he starts his treatments.

I am going to thank everyone for all their good wishes and condolences NOW as I won’t have the time to thank everyone individually. I will talk more when we get back.

Love ya and huggles to all…

Weighty news indeed. I hope you’re both able to enjoy the vacation. I would not do well with such knowledge myself, though we must remember the rates and timelines are speculative - based on statistical information that is true for a population but like all such things, less reliable at the level of the individual. I think you had a very good idea to fit in a vacation.

All the times my family and friends died were always sudden. I would get a call and was always too late. I hope you both get everything you need out of the time you have left. :people_hugging:

I’m so sorry to hear that. Cancer sucks so much.
Hope you two are having a blast right now. And also that your husband gets to flip the odds on their head and confuse the hell out of doctors by living WAY past their projections :people_hugging: :sparkling_heart:

This is why I have been so quiet. Got this news from the Doctor about a month ago.

He has a blood clot in right upper lung. His lymph nodes have grown significantly larger and so have his masses.

There are inside patterns of the lung that could be infection vs. Lymphatic carsonomic which is a significant progression of his cancer.
Recommending one week of antibiotics and if the symptoms are not worse he will get his treatment next week.

The echocardiogram showed fluids around the heart which is caused by the cancer. Also fluid in the lungs.

The hope is he will respond to the treatments but might not be possible. If not, 6 months.
