Guest guest Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 Hello, friends! I just wanted to say how much I appreciate all the support from you guys! I can't really respond more fully right now, but at least wanted to say something. It occured to me that it's kinda rude to announce that you have cancer, then just go silent on everyone! My wife and I are spending our time trying to cope, trying to educate ourselves, and trying to arrange for help for my wife once my chemo starts. I really think it is much harder on the caregiver than on the patient. Of course, I might sing a different tune once the chemo starts! *s* But, seriously she will need help, so we are dealing with that. Some people handle it pretty well, other people have a hard time with it. Far as I can tell so far the symptons are pretty similar to those with interferon and riba. I might do fine, or I might spend my time givng myself a spit shine all day long (by drooling on my shoes! :-). Tomorrow will be a busy day, I have go to the hospital first thing to arrange for my liver biopsy. Then lots of phone calls to make, etc. Lots of practical things to deal with while I can, financial concerns, legal concerns, etc. But I will write more soon as I can. So many great people on this list, so many friends, no way I can unsubscribe! Nomail was a good suuggestion, as is digest mode, but I think I'll just let it come as is. I'll probably delete most msgs, and won't be posting all that much, but I'll be here. Besides, I don't want to miss any of those Friday Night Fight Songs! And where else can I dump off bad jokes like this one: So I asked my doc " What's the bottom line? " And he replied: " Buy lots of life insurance, and stay out of the futures market! " (black humor!). Thanks, Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
