KALIO (ALL POINTS BULLETIN!)

[Forseegood]

Hey kiddo, know youre not posting much for months and months, which is understandable, but I emailed you and haven't heard zilch. That's understandable too, lol...anyway, there have been a few people asking about you, and I know youre pretty much done from your extended treatment, and I'm, we're, just concerned. If you don't want to post, at least email me and let me know youre doing okay. If you can. Enquiring minds and all that. Be well Friend.

Yes, it has been a long time.  How are both of you.  I have not posted in awhile myself.  Been very busy.  I have alot of catching up to do, lots of new names.  I did not see too many old familar ones.  Hope you hear from Kalio.  Have a good evening.

You know I haven't heard from here at all either - where is she?

Let's try to keep this post up towards the top.

Hey Cajun - it's great to see you TOO!  I'm sorry I don't know what you're going through (I don't post as much as I used to) but I am going to pray for you anyway if you don't mind!

Nygirl, I don't know if you caught any of the thread regarding my hubby.  He has been fighting hodgkins lymphoma since 2003.  Stanford 5 treatment failed after 3 years, then Stem Cell Transplant, failed after 3 weeks.  Refused for bone marrow transplant; because his hodgkins is chemo resistant.  Nothing will cure the disease.  He is now doing an R-Eshap treatment BUT only to shrink the tumors that are causing him extreme pain.  He is now 149 lbs and is 6 ft.  His counts are down after the first round of this R-eshap, did a dose of procrit 40,000 units on tuesday and today his HGB is now at 7.9, went to get a blood transfusion today and they could not keep a vein up, they were blowing out.  After 6/7 times he said enough and that he would get his oncologist to order a port.  So no blood transfusion and I was told he could not have another shot until Tuesday again. How true is that, he only took 40,000 units is that all someone can take in a week.  Like you I still have two boys 12 and 16 almost 17 to keep their spirits up, not much time for me to fall; just have to keep going and when time is right I will let go and do what I need to do to deal.  Don't cry much; don't want my kids to see weakness, they need to know that mom can handle it, even when dad is gone.
I am hoping he makes it through the holidays.  
I know you went through a similiar thing not long ago with your husband and kids father.  I am so so glad your son had that time; even though shorter than expected, he still has that to treasure.
