Hello everyone...I am sorry I have not been on for a little while, but hope you are all doing well....Darren finished radiation last monday and chemo last wed...by wed night he got so sick...by yesterday (saturday) and ambulance had to come get him..he is severly dehydrated, his kidney function is not well, and he has an infection but they are not sure yet where it is coming from....Today is also the 6month date of his being diagnosed.....So, I am spending all my time with him.....He is critical care and they say it will be at least a few days....Please send your prayers our way...thank you guys so much for always lending an ear when I need to vent...xxxx

Yes It is a tough road for us caregivers Cath, but for you all actually going through the pain, exauhstion, sickness, fears.....You are all so amazing to be fighting, and keeping possitive thoughts....I am handleing it bad enough and I am not even sick....I pray so much for all of you...This is a horrible, nasty terrible sickness....I know alot of progress has been made over the years, but it still doesnt seem like they are figuring out how to kick this in the ass!!!! Please keep yourself well...stay away from anyone who is even a little sick so you dont get ill....You as well as all my friends on here are in my thoughts and prayers everyday...sometimes this is my sanity being able to relate to you all who really understand....love to you..xxxx...Miki
