Ami89E1234 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Hey all, just an FYI my aunts going to the hospital tomorrow to get a new/experimental chemo drug (for her leukemia). shes had the leukemia/been sick basically constantly for the past few years but always pulled through, but her last set of chemo failed so this is her last shot.... if the drug doesnt work then she only has two weeks to live so if anyone could give their grace/console it would be appreciated. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Chemo is some nasty stuff, been there and seen that. Its not pretty. Best of luck to her and make sure you spend as much time as possible with her or you will regret it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By Your grace I come into Your presence with simple, trusting assurance, certain of Your love for me. In Your presence all fear and insecurity melt away and deep hurts become healing memories. In Your presence I am strengthened and filled with hope. Father in heaven, I breathe the breath of heaven deep inside my spirit. Your heaven flowsthrough me.

Ami89E1234 Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 well, i have a small update on her condition: she got her first set of the meds today and the rest can be administered at home and we should know sometime next week if they work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundking Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Well it's too bad to hear about her, hopefully the experimental drug works, She'll be in our thoughts and prayers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ami89E1234 Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 bad news: even if the drug works, the leukemia is still terminal, so she only has about a month to live. i dont get why cancer is unbeatable. in theory, it shouldnt be much harder to kill than the flu.

Ami89E1234 Posted August 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 okay, its more of borrowed time shes on: the drug is on a 'schedule' (she gets the first dose on Monday) and then she takes the drug for 5 days then stops for 2 weeks, then 5 days, etc. so if it works, then she'll be on major borrowed time. good thing is that we should know almost immediately if it works since there are visible external things that should disappear within 2 days of the first dose, so thatll be good hopefully.and the second wedding of her son (my uncle lol, since shes kinda my great aunt) was rescheduled to next weekend just so she can be there since her time is limited regardless. the kicker that no matter what, the wedding was always going to be in a Harley-Davidson shop boooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
