Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Aren't you supposed to hear something tomorrow? Are you staying calm? His denial is part of his grieving process.

Stick around Tracey..Its a riot sometimes, I love these people they are wonderful and can help you along your way through this hepC mess. Tell me what is your situation, I must have missed it?..Pat I have a loved one that most likely has Hep C. He ignored the doc 5 years ago when he was told to get a follow up. He has red spots, Spider angiomas about his face, neck and chest. I did research, joined this group and had him go see a doc. He is in the middle of testes and in denial I think.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 At least the doctor didn't just phone thank god.I would wait until he hears from the specialist to decide what to do,but in the meantime is going to need help in obsorbing all this.I hope he lays of drinking and everything.If he is in pain they can give him proper medication for that.Take a deep breath and help him as much as possible to adjust and move forward for medical help.Go to the appointments with him.With news like that a second pair of ears is handy cause the word cancer is scary and sometimes the patient doesn't hear anything else after that word.Good luck hon and stay with us so we can help you as much as possible through these times.Also take care of yourself,so you can be of more help to him. Gail Yes, as of last night he is full stream ahead. He will go to the specialists, take the treatment and fight it. He is off to work at 7:00 am, living life as he did before the doctor told him about it. It's a mixed bag, as I'm sure it will be one minute he is overly optimist, telling ME to not worry. The next he asks me if I'll take care of his dog! And when the time comes would I just sit with him and play music for him. (Sorry, that was morbid!) When the doctor told him all of this, (and made the comment that it is a good sign that he is feeling a great as he is, in his condition), he said, "Well, I guess there's no hurry in getting my eye's and ear's checked." He knows I'm only a phone call away. Thanks guys! One hour at a time, Tracey So, HOW are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 I'm not really sure which came first, I always had anxiety disorder as long as I can remember. But shortly within 6 months of diagnosis of the Hep I started having full blown panic attacks. My first one happened while I was sitting in my car waiting for a friend to come out the house. It went on so long I ended up in the hospital with sleep deprivation among other things. Peace and LoveJo {{Jo}} What a small world! That is as common as HepC is (or as says, will be) I want to get too much off topic for the group, but are you on something? Work out? Relaxation tapes? Support groups? Counseling?

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Pat, Hey Girl... Thanks for asking, I took shot # 15 today, and I hate to say it but it has been the worst one yet. Usually I don't start feeling crappy until Saturday. And today within 3 hours, I was in bed, 3 blankets. shiverring so bad that teeth chattered. I guess we just never know what one week is going to be like from the other. But I am still standing strong and trooping along. I refuse to let this thing or tx beat me.... I read the post and I see you are getting very close to that last legg of the tx.... WOOHOO....... I am so proud of you and I admire your courage and strength... You inspire me so..... I am in the middle of starting up a major business and a huge responsibility.... Even though I am a little scared of not being able to keep up -- especially the brain power that this business demands... I just have to keep my faith in God and know that he has led me down this path and that he would never give me more than I can handle... Well Sweetie, I hope and pray that this last legg of your TX are kind on you and that you remain clear..... woo hooo...... YOu Go Girl.... You are doing so great and make us all proud.... May God continue to bless us all Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 Tracey, I'm an ACOA, too. De Faith is the ability to not panic. Lord, this group is doing more for me than any Adult Children of Alcoholic's, or Anxiety/Panic Disorder group has ever done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
