Rhondalynn's Cancer Thread

[decaro]

I'm comforted that you were given the time to make arrangements for all your four-legged charges and other responsibilities.

Via con Dios, Rhonda.

You are an inspiration to the rest of us, Rhondalynn. My hat's off to you.

Fell and broke my right femur and am in Pacific Rehab at Noblesville, Indiana. Should be a couple ofweeks before I go home to the aapartment my kids seem up for me. We are constantly working on the brain cancer to keep me sane and rational.I am good right now but meds are adjusted constantly. We are only working to maintain quality of life and hospice care. No chemo or radiation. My cancer is terminal no idea how long I have. Just glad to have this time with the grandchildren
.
I am content will write as I can... promise

Love you all!

Rhondalynn

I hope your femur heals quickly and that you are able to enjoy as much time with family as possible. Sending you good thoughts and prayers from Vermont.

Regards,

- Erik

Rhonda...I too am in Indy...I was diagnosed with Neuroendicrine Carcinoma in 2013, stage 3b and inoperable..Throat and both lungs and "30 to 40" lymph nodes,(quoting the Dr.).
Of course when he said "inoperable", I thought the reaper had finally caught up...but without batting an eye he then said "So, we are going to start radiation daily to burn it out, (as you know).

Well...they did burn it out, and while I only have 35% of my lungs remaining, I still have a quality of life, and of course still get regular CT scans and I see my Oncologist this Friday.

As far as I am concerned, that Canadian gentleman is a true miracle worker.

He is Dr Peter Garrett at St Francis, Indy campus,(Stop 11) just off south I 65 by Greenwood.

I'm just convinced its' not over till HE is ready for us, and I hope HE is not ready for you yet.

If I can help you, PM me and I will contact you....Bob

P.S...Regardless of age you are fully qualified for social security disability and they can help with the costs.

My thoughts are with you Rhonda. I'm glad you are able to spend some time with your grandchildren.

Hello Rhonda,

I'm not on here as often as the others, but glad to hear you are still fighting on. Shame about the ranch, but I hope you do have as much time with the loved ones as possible.

[IainMcNeil]

So sad to hear your news Rhonda. Take care and we're thinking of you.

[GaryChildress]

Bump...  Any more news, Rhonda? It's always good to hear from you, when you feel up to writing. Anyway, hope you are comfortable and free from any pain.

I live in the area Rhonda last reported from..I called several places yesterday, cannot locate her.

Must be aware of her privacy considerations but if she checks in she will know we sure care about her.

Still in rehabilitation at Prairie Village facility in at Noblesville IN. About ready to pull me and take me home. Can walk with difficulty and a walker for support. Full rehabilitation could take longer than I have left to live. Prefer to spend it with family not therapists.

Peace be with you, Rhonda.

That is the best thing you can do, the time spent with the family is something that will create fond and also sad memories that will remain for a very long time. But more than often a smile will be the memory that lingers the most and the longest.

Take care of yourself and remain as strong as you can, for as long as possible.

Well said, Mat. I wish to convey the same message but, alas, I can not find the words to do so.

Do take care Rhondalynn and do remain as strong as you can, for as long as possible.

Coming home tomorrow! Rehab is at an end

Fingers crossed that no paperwork gets in the way!

Best wishes friend.

Oh yes, that is good news Rhonda. Being home will be good for you, and it will make your family happy as well.

Realizing how weak I am overall. I've gotten some real arm strength developed, but in general am kinda weak and wobbly just to stand and walk around. THree weeks confined to a wheel chair does that to you.

Taking great care not to push things and get into trouble.

I cannot afford another injury from a bump or fall.

Working on software updates this afternoon.
