I volunteered for hospice when I lived in NC and can tell you it was a place of peace, with truly amazing nursing and spiritual care for the patient and their family. On another note, Miracles DO happen, so I will be praying for a special miracle for you!!!

You have not been one to give up- the thought has not seemed to cross your mind in the blog. 7 chemos is incredible. Again, I can only say that you have inspired me again and again and I wish only the best for you.<br />I am about to start on Yondelis this week- my third chemo. GEMTAX was a complete disaster for me. My tumours doubled within three months compared to the whole of last year. I have been given "several months" but will still try chemo just in case. All my many tumours are in my abdomen and are now pressuring absolutely everything. I literally feel for you in this moment. I am starting to lose my ability to walk freely, it's something to do with tumours putting pressure on my lymph nodes in my pelvis. I ank about to finish up atwork this week after a 25 year career in teaching. I have hope that things will still go well for us both.<br />Wishing you faith hope and love,<br />GeorgiaGeorgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03302561439962993630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9022187099880703457.post-15248568404827355942012-06-22T20:51:18.195-04:002012-06-22T20:51:18.195-04:00I am not sure what to say beyond that my thoughts ...I am not sure what to say beyond that my thoughts and prayers are with you and Lou.
