Cancer... It's total ass!

I'm sorry to hear about the situation that you guys are in and we will definitely keep you guys in our prayers. In the meantime, if you need anything, I'm also in the Philly area just send me a PM.
 
Hey bud, I know we don't know each other and all. But if you need someone to talk to about any of this stuff feel free to shoot me a PM. I lost my father to a particularly aggressive form of oral cancer last year and one of the things I wish i did was talk to someone about things as I was going through them. I didn't really have that person to talk to and I always felt guilty for my emotions because of what I was watching my dad go through. I felt like it was almost selfish in a way to express my pain and emotions over the whole thing. Don't let "being strong" for your family get in the way of venting sometimes. It doesn't do anyone any good if you bottle this stuff up. I'm sending positive thoughts and vibes your way.
 
Dang man that truly sucks. Whether you're a family of faith or not, I'll keep you guys in my prayers. My father in law passed from brain cancer last winter, this disease can go &%^# itself.
 
Hang in there and best of luck to you both. I'm dealing with something similar myself and don't have a supportive spouse so your wife sounds very lucky to me.
 
So - a bit of an update I guess. I know it's been a long time, but, so far so good.

My wife finished up her final surgery in December, and was given a final pathology of complete pathological response. This is about the best news we could have asked for (short of not having Cancer to begin with)

We are finally taking that family vacation next week! In the last year we found more friends than we knew we had, we learned more about each other than the last 7 years of marriage. We saw the bottoms and tops of the emotional spectrum. She lost her job, but found the freedom that being unemployed offered a relief.
(I found out how much more pressure it is to be the sole bread winner)

Thank you all for the kind thoughts!

Www.kickitwithkeenan.com has the posts through treatment.

I know this is a random place but, the 5th of July this year we are having a big BBQ / fundraiser to support the Young Survivors Coalition (YSC) and will be riding in the tour de pink. If anybody feels like stopping by let me know and I'll send the details! (Marlton/cherry hill area)

Happy to hear that man
 
The pros are we're a pretty smart species. We've had thousands of years to work out what works and what doesn't. The cons are we've been pretty much in the dark until recently in medical science, so what we thought worked may not. Holistic medicine 200 years ago was all about leaches after all. In fact traditional medicine may counteract a course of medication. If you use holistic medicine to compliment western medicine make darned sure your MD knows what you're taking. I hope you aren't dealing with cancer Scoobs. In my mind modern medicine is pretty good and I won't disparage holistic medicine as the husband of a Nurse Practitioner, but I believe when push comes to shove its all about fight.
