Prayers for my wife, please

[GrayTide]

Bamaga, any update on Tery. Still in my prayers.

I apologize I left the board, and especially the prayer board. Yes , Tery so far is doing well, she rang the Bell in March 2021 and did her three month body Pet scan a couple of months ago. Her six month is coming up soon, then the 1 year Next March the next 2 milestones. But so far all is well!
She is still dealing with the aftermath of the aggressive chemo and the radiation burns, but she can bench press 800 lbs at this point with all her inner strength!

here we go again!

bamaga, I am so sorry I missed your post about Tery. I wish I had something to say that would help, but I don't. I promise you that I will think of you both and keep y'all in my prayers. Keep us updated. May God bless Tery, you, and your loved ones.

Thanks GT. It’s going to be OK. She is upbeat, and so am I. The biggest fear is spreading to other organs. we will know soon! She must be ok, because she is more concerned with the possibility of weight gain . The first go around, she gained about 20 pounds in her hips and thighs because they removed the lymph nodes in the region and the fluid had no where to go so it pooled in the area. She just lost most of it! She took a more natural approach before to pain management and appetitive help than pills . Her doctor was all for it , and told her to keep at it if it worked for her! Which it did. She just recently stopped that , so I don’t know what she will do this time.
How is your Daughter?

Thanks for asking. She has been clean for 9 months, but as everyone knows it is a daily battle. My older daughter, she and I have been estranged since her mother died, finally came home and so far we are getting along. She has her own set of problems, though not substance abuse which is a blessing. She and her younger sister have finally talked after a year and a half and I am in hopes that the three of us can reconcile at some point. They were both very close to their mother and it has been hard on them, but the three of us will have to take life one day at a time. Tell Tery old Gray will continue praying for her. Stay safe.

Any update on Patti, gtowntide?

She had a pet scan last week and her cancer has moved into her liver( 4 places) . She’s having a liver biopsy on Monday. They’re taking her off all chemo for now and she’ll see her oncologist after the biopsy. Not the best news, but it what it is.
Thank you for your concern Gray.

Sorry to hear that, gtown, just wish I could say something inspiring, but you are right it is what it is. Needless to say, but you and Patti will continue to be in my prayers, oh and don't forget to let her know how much you love her, that never gets old. Stay safe, my friend.

For bamaga and gtowntide, any updates on Tery and Patti? I continue to pray for them and both of you. I wish for you and your loved ones a joyous Christmas season surrounded by the love of your spouses. Tell them both that Old Gray is still thinking of them. May you all find peace and comfort during this wonderful season. May God bless you my friends.

Hey Gray, sorry for so few updates. Patti has 6 tumors in her liver now. They’re pretty aggressive and she’s very weak. I’m with her at the doctor now getting fluids. She has a brain MRI on Jan 3rd. We’re living one day at a time.
I’m glad to hear about your daughters .
Take care.

 

[GrayTide]

Gtown, I am so sorry to hear this. I have no words and the only thing I can think of is to let her know that you love her and stay close by her side. I will continue to pray for both of you in hopes it will bring y'all some comfort. Tell Patti I ask about her and wish you both a joyous Christmas. Got to go, got something in my eye and it is causing leakage.

Praying for both of you. Words can’t convey how much I love reading the posts you both make, and know that you guys are in my prayers.

Well, today marks the second anniversary of my wife's death. It has been an unbelievably difficult two years with grief and dealing with COVID-19. I am now facing the hardest decision, maybe in my life, I am going to have to tell my older daughter to leave home. She has been with me for 5 months, and to say we have a toxic relationship would be an understatement. Substance abuse is not her problem, she still blames me for her mother's death and turning my wife's friends against her. I have helped her financially, but that is coming to an end and she will be on her on. Neither of my other two children will speak to her and she has severed all ties with them. I know what needs to be done, but it is emotional to think how this will play out. I pray every night for a resolution where she returns as a loving child and sibling, but that looks like a long shot at best. I once again ask for your thoughts and prayers for both of us.

Sorry Gray I just saw your post. I’m sorry to hear that about your daughter. I know the last couple of years has been hard on you and I pray it will get better.
Godspeed my brother.

Really tough...but it sounds to me like you are doing the right thing. Prayers...

If I may ask, how old are your children?

Sad to hear this.
