OfflineHi friends, I don't want to be a cry baby, but I need some good thoughts and prayers. My hubby of 41 years was just diagonised with stage 4 cancer (unknown primary) He had his first chemo Friday and has had some side effects, but still has much pain. The chemo is to try to shrink the tumors in order to make him more 'comfortable'. The Doc thinks it may have started as colon cancer even though he has had 3 scopes in the past 10 years, he also said it may have started in the pancreas, but at this point it really does not matter. We both are still in shock, but the reality is starting to hit.

OfflineJeannie-Hi! Saw your post and I thought to myself there is someone going through what my husband and I are going through. I feel on this forum that everyone ,even though I haven't met them in person, are caring folk who do care about other people. My husband, Norm of 40 years was diagnosed with stage 4 bladder cancer. When the Dr. told us stage 4 I felt like I was going to be sick. That was June 3-June 5th we started treatment at Hillman Cancer Center-pOart of Shadyside Hospital. If it wasn't for the drs. and staff of that center I would'nt have my husband here with me today. He had to be bathed by me,showered by me and depended on me for everything. On July 11th he walked our daughter down the aisle of the church without even his walker. There wasn't a dry eye in the whole church. My friends and family helped us pull our wedding off after planning it for one year for our only daughter. People come to Hillman Cancer Center in Pittsburgh from all over the Us and even Europe. Our Drs and the staff are so amazed and supportive that my husband has no trace of cancer now. Have you had a second opion? You can e-mail me if you would like! Tell your husband that we are thinking about him and praying for him and you. I care! Alanna Ps. My husband was dignosed on June 5th of 2009!![]()

You have been in my thoughts without knowing what has been going on. You haven't been here and I knew there was a reason. I am sooooo sorry this was the reason. If it's possible, get more than 1 opinion. And try to stay strong, when you're not feeling so strong to keep going, come to us, we're here for you!
