Our Short Journey

[Derektwright]

After only 3 1/2 short years at age 54 a week ago Friday we received the news we are all dreading to receive. After 2 surgeries, many radiation treatments, Zytiga, and the past 3 months of Xofigo the doctor has informed us the Derek’s cancer has taken a very aggressive turn. He has a tumor in each lung and several in his liver, along with a lot more Mets throughout his bones. Two weeks ago his liver bloodwork was in normal range now it is at 0. We have been given 2 - 4 weeks and was asked to call Hospice. This past week he has felt well enough to see many friends and family and has enjoyed every minute. We will celebrate our 35 th wedding anniversary on June 23rd as I am heartbroken I but that smile on my face everyday for him. And enjoy every minute we have left. Thank you all for all the information, education, and hope you have all given. I still have that hope and will to the end. Angie

From one wife to another, I’m so sorry. My husband was recently diagnosed stage 4 PC. I wish your husband peace and healing as he transitions. I am wishing you the same and sending you all love and light.

As a wife of a stage 4 husband, DX nearly a year ago, my heart goes out to you and your family. Im sure that every one on this forum is thinking of you both at this incredibly emotional and difficult time.

Wishing you love and peace for the rest of the journey you face together and beyond.

As a wife who just recently went through everything you are now going through, I am heartbroken for you.

I pray your days together are filled with love and laughter to ease the fear you both may feel.

No matter the outcome I would never give up the final weeks I was given with my husband ❤️

Love Sheri

if your fight is done, then God be with you both and grant you peace and strength. If you want a final shot or two, Magnus used Provenge and it wiped out his lung mets..., there is always BAT, and you could try ad get Lu-177 under "right to try"...

There are no words I can say except from wife to wife my heart hurts so much for you and family🙏 Damn this horrible c 😪

Angie, I am so very sorry to hear this. And, although you probably knew this was coming at some point, you certainly didn't think it would come so soon. I am so glad your husband is well enough to see friends and family knowing himself that it is most likely the last time he is going to see them. I hope it will be a peaceful end and that you have all the support you need. I have been there myself last year and from my experience I would say this to you: The experience of being there all along and right to the end is a wonderful and sad one. Wonderful because you can see that your loved one is going towards a point of no suffering and eternal peace. And sad of course because you lose the one person who is closest to your heart. Love and hugs to both of you. And keep posting here. Love, Mel.

Oh man, this is a gut punch as we all share pronounced feelings when one of our brothers takes a bad turn. My heart goes out to you, your family and husband.

Strength, love and peaceful wishes coming to both of you.

There are no words Angie. May you and Derek get some joy out of these next weeks. I hope that you can find some peace.

I am sure you are heartbroken. Most of us know what is in store for us at some point down the road. I will pray for you and him to be comfortable and have him do some things he loves to do and is capable of doing
