I have zero advice that carries any weight other than this: Do whatever you can that works and helps heal you, and use this to motivate you to spend quality time with those you love and love you.
Be well. |

Doc wouldn't give me pain meds. It grew. Got x-rayed. Looked like a big sac of fluid. Given anti-inflammatory but no pain meds. Pain was ridiculous. Finally got an ortho doc to pull fluid out. Guess what? No fluid. But...from those needle holes grew these giant flesh mushrooms. Doc decides to cut the bursa out. Only..it got worse and while on the operating table, the doc said he was taking biopsies instead and cut the "tumor" in half and left it open to the air making me do wet-to-dry gauze changes for a month until the cancer removal surgery. Long story short, cancer is a "undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma" and it moved from my leg to my lungs, where it spread multiple tumors and as of a couple of days ago (2 chemo sessions in) spread to my right ventricle (my heart). I'm upset and waiting for a cardiac MRI in the coming days. Very stressed and lonely every night as my wife (Has been busting her ass caring for me because I can't walk) gets in bed super early and I'm in another room staring at a TV or the ceiling. It's rough brothers...make no mistake. I do want to throw a shout out to some members here who have come to visit and hang out, it means a lot. At any rate...I'll try to get online again when I can. If not, it's been nice knowing and laughing at a lot of you guys.  Holy shit. I'll pray for you. I'm very sorry to read this. Posting to ask your wife (You just concentrate on your recovery) to ask around for a medical malpractice attorney. Your story sounds like an abominable failure to meet the standard of care. |

Brothers.....thank all of you for your kind words and advice. They/it has not fallen on deaf ears.
I'm not much of an emotional man...don't really cry at all. Maybe a handful of times since my teens. Let me tell you something, every time someone tells me that they're "praying for me" and such, it's like waterfalls of tears. I'm crying right now as I type this, as perfect strangers let me know that they're both praying for me and referring me to inspirational biblical verses. Guys....all of you (even though I have only met a handful of you) mean a lot to me right now as my support group continues to grow. I don't have social media, but my wife does and people I haven't seen/heard from in 20-30 years are reaching out/have come to visit me. Being bed-bound, I can't begin to explain to you guys how much it means to hear not only from friends but from "strangers" from the GD forums. All of you....the PMs, the well-wishers; it means so very much to me and I would humbly ask you for your continued prayers as I am so very desperate for moral assistance in my fight to stay alive. Thanks again for everything guys and your support means everything to me. |

Hang in there. I know that feeling of being alone late at night. I was working 60 hours a week in between surgeries and while doing chemo. My wife was exhausted taking care of me and I got maybe 3-4 hours of sleep a night. The stress and fear kept me awake. Spent a lot of time crying into a pillow so I didn't wake her, and she spent a lot of time crying while I was working. Don't know how we survived it to be honest. I had a terminal diagnosis and wasn't supposed to make it a year. I've been cancer free for five years this month. In fact it was five years ago this past Saturday. Never give up hope.

Last year, March 20th, my wife got the diagnosis of stage 3 breast cancer.
It was a hard time. She has had a hard year, but she has endured chemo, surgery, and radiation, and is back at work again. Her last infusion is scheduled for exactly one year later, next Wednesday, 3/20. She is weaker than before, but I know she is improving and her stamina is getting better. Unlike you and many, I am a cryer, whether happy, sad, or mad. Can't even watch a movie if a dog dies. Since her diagnosis, I've cried in front of my wife and when she hasn't known. I've also been there for every chemo and nearly every doctor visit. There are a lot of people here that have been in both yours and my shoes. I, we, don't know you, but we care. Empathy or sympathy, we know it hurts. Keep up the fight and keep us updated. Best wishes to you, those around you, and those caring for you. |

Embrace us now in your loving care, particularly our brother Hawk, afflicted with cancer, for whom this intention is offered. May the Spirit of Jesus bring us all health in soul and body, that with joy and thanksgiving we may praise you for your goodness, through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. |

I actually cried while reading this. So horrible and unfair. We are so very fragile, we think we are going to live forever but we're not.
Praying for you. Hang in there. There is so much more that I would say but its just going to stir controversy so I'll keep my thoughts on what comes after this to myself. The only thing I will say is that this is not the end. Many, many NDE stories out there and amazing videos on YouTube. |
