Update on my wife Deb

[zathros]

well, day 3 and 3rd treatment. she is getting a little sick from it but now has 2 days off. by they way the doc's talk their gonna keep her all next week too. i'm glad that they are trying that because if she came home i know for sure she'd do all she could NOT to go back. we are a'' hoping for the best that this will help in the long run. again, thanks for all the prayers and thoughts

35 years ago, they told my sister she had a year before her heart and lungs would give out from PPH (Primary Pulmonary Hypertension), she's not doing fantastic, but she is doing well. She is an advocate in that field and has testified in front of Congress seeking aid for more research. This is the disease that people got when the government fast tracked the diet pill "Phen-Pheon". My sister was born for it. She is one of the longest living people with this disease. We're still praying for you both.

Slainte,

The DC

i am glad to hear that she is doing well. deb is a fighter too, its just gonna be a bit till she gets going again.i just got to make her MAD at me enough for her to come home and start "kicking mt arse".. and she will when she see's on how much i made a mess of the place...lol

Hey Lyter1958,

I've just come across this thread and wanted to send my best wishes to you both. I can sympathise fully with how you feel as I have been through similar with my son. Although he has a vastly different condition, some of the treatments are the same.

I cannot say anything that the other wonderful people on here haven't already. Just know that we are all here for you and we are all hoping for the best and sending our love/prayers/wishes in your direction.

All the best.

hi all, as of Friday , Deb has had 8 treatments. she will have 2 more this week and that is it. we'll have to wait a little while and she'll have another scan done to see if it has helped or not. in the mean time she'll be moved to a rehab place closer to home for a bit. then home. deb still feels that its all for nothing but we all keep telling her its going to work out. i keep trying to keep her spirits up and reminding her that we all went her home. and that our "granddogger" ( she is a Basset hound) Sadie keeps looking for her every time i bring her down for treats. so that's whats happening so for , again thanks for the well wishes and all and i will keep passing them on to her.

I am glad to hear it! Both you and her (and the rest of your family) are in my thoughts and prayers!!!

Lyter,

Sorry I'm a bit late to everything that you and your wife are going through. Will pray for you and your family. Hope that the growth will continue to go down.

Recommend that you check out something called pancratistatin, Alkaloids have been known for sometime now in dealing with some types of cancer (note not all).

I found out about this when I was doing some patent work on something else stent related for a major stent manufacturer.

The major hurdle in the fight against cancer is the non-specific nature of current treatments. The search for specific drugs that are non-cytotoxic to normal cells and can effectively target cancer cells has lead some researchers to investigate the potential anti-cancer activity of natural...

thanks for the tip..though her to try any new meds is a chore. she is so afraid of "bad" side effects. and thanks for the prayers..

 

[zathros]

New meds can be scary, but they are usually for a short while. You read for the real bad "Contrindications" and if they start to manifest, you call your doctor immediately. SSome of these meds you can't just stop taking, some you have to. Only your doctor will know for sure. I am sure you know all of this. Praying for her right now.

 

[lyter1958]

hi all, new update.. deb was going to be coming home this friday, but with the virus going around it's been moved to tuesday now. i just had a call from her tonight and she found out that there are 2 confirmed cases in the hospital where she's at. so i expect a early phone call to come and get her out of there right away.. she is doinf somewhat better but the taper down of her meds are going to have to be finished here at home. everyone stay safe out there and take it easy..any other news comes up i'll be sure to let you all know.
