missymissus 07-12-2006, 05:35 PM As some of you probably remember, a couple months ago hubby's middle son was diagnosed with cancer in his lymph nodes (sp?), tongue, and throat. We went down when he had surgery to remove it, and they thought they had gotten everything.
Well, he has been going through radiation for the last 6 weeks. They thought that was working. He doesnt have insurance, so they delayed started chemo.
Hubby's ex called last night to let us know that the doctors have now found another tumor in his throat, as well as new ones in his shoulder and possibly in his lungs.
He's only 27, and the doctors are now saying his odds of beating this are down to bout 5 to 10%. This is hitting hubby really really hard. I just dont know how to comfort him anymore. I'm just not sure what to do to help him through everything.
jesique 07-12-2006, 05:36 PM Oh man Missy...I am so sorry to hear this.
I know this is hard on your hubby's family and also on you.
((((((((((((((HUG))))))))))))))

Malani 07-12-2006, 05:50 PM Oh man.. I am so sorry for you all.. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
chikygrl13 07-12-2006, 05:59 PM Wow!
I'm so sorry for you, your hubby and everyone!
How much time do the doctors give him?
Right now you all need to make the decision to try to fight it and spend the little time he may have left in the hospital, or to live up whatever time is left.
I hope everything works out in the end, and that's it's not too painful.
missymissus 07-12-2006, 06:03 PM Thanks for the support everyone.
The one doctor said he wouldnt expect him to survive the year, the other one didnt comment either way.
OMG Missy,
I am so sorry,
Your family is in my thoughts!
fos4snt 07-12-2006, 08:55 PM I'm very sorry to hear this, too. I don't know what to tell you, other than your family will be in my prayers. ((((HUGS))))

christina923 07-12-2006, 09:13 PM i am so sorry.
there is nothing you can say or do for your husband, other then what you are doing. let him lead with what he needs from you.
my heart breaks...no parent should have to go thru this.
thoughts and prayers for you all
DaniellaP 07-13-2006, 11:24 PM Wow. I am really, truly sorry to hear that...life can be so unpredictable and unfair sometimes.
The only thing you can do for your husband is let him know you care, & you're there if he needs to talk or a shoulder to cry on. I'm sure this is an extremely difficult time for both of you, so try and support one another the best you can.
I'll keep you, your husband & stepson in my thoughts and prayers <33
Emzak 07-21-2006, 10:01 AM Missy, sorry I am coming in late on this thread. Will you take a belated hug? (((((HUGS)))))
How's everything going right now? How's your hubby? Be sure to take good care of him!
missymissus 07-21-2006, 10:39 AM Well, they put off his full body CAT scan til next monday. After that, they will be more able to make decisions as to what treatment he needs. Regardless, they should start chemo on wednesday.
Hubby is hard to read. For the most part he seems fine, but at night he likes to talk about his sons and when he was living with his kids and their mom. I know its hard on him, and I'm trying to be supportive.
Trish 07-21-2006, 12:18 PM Gosh, I don't know how I missed this thread....
I'm so sorry, missy...
Sending prayers and good thoughts to you all....
Emzak 07-21-2006, 01:14 PM I know its hard on him, and I'm trying to be supportive.
Gosh, this must be hard on YOU as well. We are here for you!
Annie 07-21-2006, 05:17 PM Missy, I just saw this thread now. I'm so sorry to hear that they found more cancer. You and your family will be in my thoughts.
Faith 07-22-2006, 03:40 AM Missy, I am so sorry. my thoughts and prayers for all of you.
I have a friend who had this same type of cancer at the exact same age of your stepson (27). He went through surgeries, radiation, and chemo... he made it through and he is a survivor to this day.
I am praying that your stepson will make it through.
