Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Bob, are you taking care of yourself and / or do you have someone helping you out? I'm asking because if you get ill or weak you'll be less / no help to Carol. I speak from brutal experience. Take care of yourself, old son, and keep us posted.

In your update, did you maybe mean "immunity therapy?" Hang onto the hope. And, as a few others have said, take care of yourself. You are no good to your bride if you keel over.

No good news at all unfortunately. We will be heading back down for conferences with the oncologist on Monday. Hard dang times. Edit 3pm 2/7: Just heard from them that they want to do a biopsy on Wed. Two more days in Phoenix. Had a sit down the the oncologist today. Some relatively encouraging info. He’s recommending immunimo therapy. Much better than chemo. The fly in the ointment is where we live. No nearby top notch facilities or oncologists. So we’re examining options and may have a plan developing. May involve moving temporarily to Charlotte NC Still scheduled for the biopsy on Wednesday and keeping our fingers crossed. I still feel mentally like room temperature SOS but slightly more optimistic. Keep your hopes and prayers up. Good luck to your wife in her treatment, this new therapy is getting good reviews from what I hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I will continue to keep you both in my positive thoughts. Where there is hope there is possibility of cure and recovery. I certainly wish you and Carol the best for the treatment at Charlotte. Bob, I know it's hard to do, day in and day out, but you must remain strong for Carol. If you need anything, you should reach out to the SASS community to help out no matter what State you are in. I know that they will help, I know I will.

Sixgun Sheridan Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Sorry to hear this. Just a FYI, for what it's worth my mother went to Fred Hutchinson and Swedish Medical Center in Seattle many years ago with advanced-stage lymphoma, and they saved her life. It was a very hard road though. Just throwing that out there because they're among the best in the country for that type of thing. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 My ex did that all the time whenever she looked at a listing for a new house that was triple the size (and mortgage) of our existing one. I simply wouldn't say anything either, because I figured if she didn't understand the fact that we couldn't possibly afford it there was no use explaining it to her.

Cat Brules Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Bob, you and Carole must must be worn out. Just get rested up. I do know that those trips back and forth are physically and mentally tough. If you go to Charlotte, it is probably good that Carol’s sister is there and may be able to lend assistance and support for Carole. And, especially so if you find yourselves living there temporarily. It’s a big city, I know. There are a lot of people praying for both Carole and you. Please know that you also have our prayers and best wishes too, that Carole and you come through this difficult time in good health.
