Well Guys, Myhubby58 has said enough is enough..chemotherapy has ended and Hospice has begun…nothing worked, everything Dr tried made cancer spread worse..Hospice are really nice People and the Chaplin is an excellent Guy…Already they are beginning to manage the pain by changing some of his meds..We have come to terms that We have had a great journey together and will always remain in each other’s heart..

Thoughts Please

I’m so sorry. It’s clear that you’ve both given everything you have and it’s time to lay down the sword. It must be a relief that hospice is able to better manage your husband’s pain. I wish you both peace.

Valuing each other and the time you have together is what really counts. I'm glad they've already made a difference in his pain.

You have made a tough decision but at least you will get help and relief to enjoy your time together. Your husband looks so beautiful and young. I am sorry for his situation.

We were considering hospice last year but my husband made a turn around.

Sorry your fight is coming to an end.. We all know we will see it one day. My journey started in May 2019 just ahead of your husband. My wife and I are still holding in there with our fight. I will be watching your trip to see what I can learn from it and thank you for posting for the rest of us... God's grace be with you...\Doug

As a powerful individual you can only outlast something that is not impossible. Cancer of any form, once it takes hold, it utilises the animal's body's own basic cell structure of life, it's very dna, to replicate and ultimately destroy the being. Just our one basic 'flaw' as animals. The creator in my mind, and that is being presumptuos of me, needed to analyse that little bit, just a little bit harder, before 'signing off' that day on the human genome.

We have decided to end it before he needs hospice. We are fortunate right now but we agreed whilst we are able to decide to make the decision for ourselves. This disease is cruel. I wish you both peace... and joy in recalling the memories you have made together.

All our thoughts, hugs, blessings, prayers with you both. Please look at out of the box pain management as well - apparently homeopathy in some cases helps. Anything to help with the pain. Pls. try to consult a homeopath. I am sure you have tried all that you could in terms of personalized treatment. And prayers always help.

I am so sorry. I appreciate you posting during such a difficult time. I’m not sure I’ll be able to do the same when the time comes. We had our first experience with hospice care last year with my father and they were a Godsend. They made his passing so peaceful and I hope they do the same for your hubby. God bless you both. 💕🙏

It sounds like a good decision that many afflicted people have to come to grips with.

Needless suffering simply adds more to the approaching reality. Courageous comes to mind.

May God bless you both ....

Whilst most of the medical profession have the best of intentions, I sometimes get the impression they often don't help. Many of the treatments have side effects that are worse than the original problem. I can empathise with your husband's feelings. I hope things go as well as possible given the difficult circumstances. God bless you and your husband.

You both are brave to have fought the fight. Although I don’t know either of you, my heart breaks to read about your situation. No one wants to hear such news but for those who have been in similar situations understand that your hubby is tired and just wants some peace. Bless you both, as well as your families.

Sometimes the toughest decisions are the best decisions. You and your husband have made the best decision in this stage of his journey. This young man is so blessed to have you by his side. Hospice is also a blessing in terms of reducing painful suffering. Praying God’s peace and His loving presence be in the midst of you both.

Too early to give up. Have you considered ADT, Immunotherapy or other Clinical Trial, Alternative Therapy which should totally change your Lifestyle and Diet and take supplements. You may try Fenbendazole which save a lot of people. Do your research to see what would help. The other members in this group can give you more information on Diet and Lifestyle change. Do regular exercise rather than sit all day for nothing. Good luck.

Such a bloody difficult place to be but at sometime we all end up in the place you are (cancer or not)... we are born, we live the best life we can and laugh as much as possible along the way and then death comes. Along the way we touch others as we go and if we are lucky we find someone to share the journey. Our legacy is within all those we touch! Happy you are sharing with all of us... celebrate life and the moments you find joy but also celebrate the unknown! Death - it quite possible our best journey's are ahead of us....Max

He is way too young to die! Most of us on this site are in our late 60’s and 70’s and feel cheated. To die in your 50’s from this disease is even more cruel. I feel so sorry for both of you.

It sounds like the right decision and one that will improve his quality of life. It will also make the time you will spend together more focused on each other and not on the treatments and side effects. I wish him a peaceful and calm journey and you the strength to endure what must be extremely difficult. Best to you both.

As a younger man on this forum (51), I know how unfair this disease can be. I have have thought about my passing quite often as treatments have failed in the past. To ‘fight or not to fight’ is not the choice we face. We all eventually will pass. As Cleodman said as he entered hospice “It is sometimes best to go with the river rather than fight the current”. Those words bring me peace. This is part of our journey and I wish your husband a peaceful transition. We are thinking of you and here for you!
