Those of you who were at the WonderPicnic on July 3 will have met Audrey; others may know her as well.
Her mother has had cancer, and is approaching the end of her life. Audrey and her family would really appreciate your thoughts and prayers as they go through this trying time.
May God grant them grace, strength and courage for the difficult time now, and for the days and weeks ahead. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours, Audrey. God bless.
My father-in-law, who lives in another province has late stage bladder cancer. It has already spread to his lymph nodes and a few sites in his bones. He is currently undergoing chemo, but the prognosis does not look good. He has requested that the family do not travel to visit him until this summer (after the chemo is done), so we are respecting his wishes.
I just had news from someone who is in my circle of acquaintance that her adult daughter has an inoperable cancerous tumor and won't survive. They are moving onto chemo to make her more comfortable to give her more time with her children and husband and to prepare them for her passing.
It's such a horrifying blow for my friend. She's on her own and I know this is going to change her forever. She was in a hard place even before getting this news.
Two weeks and a day ago I was trans-bashed. I'm fine, some facial scarring (knives not my friend) and there were no witnesses so no reporting. Turns out they figured my out NOT by the countless YouTube vids under MrChaseCameron where i beg for sponsors, to no avail, for this June's Ride to Conquer Cancer, but because I hang around with someone sort of trans and not .... discreet about it. Her name came up while we fought. I broke one's nose and the other may never have children.
No one unzips their pants and suggests what he did and doesn't suffer.
My mother's condition deteriorated severly over the weekend and I called the palliative nurse to arrange for her to go into hospital. They found a bed and my brother went over there to admit her. At that time they told him that she has hours to days to live. I spent the afternoon and evening at the hospital and plan to go back in the morning.
I got some good news today. My mother's condition has been deteriorating very rapidly over the past 2 weeks and we thought for sure it was because the tumor was growing, but we got the results from her MRI and the tumor has actually shrunk. The deterioration has been caused by the water retention that is a side effect of the steriods that she is on. They cut the steriods by one pill a day for this week and will be reducing them by half a pill a week until they find a balance between the side effects and the benefits. She cannot have another course of chemo unti
