please pray for me

kara ~

I wish you and your uncle the very best.

I hope you can somehow take it easy during this very difficult time. Easier said than
done, I guess.

Be sure and let us know what the pain doctor has to say. I hope you're taking
medication that helps. I'm not, but I think I'll be getting a pain pump. Maybe that
will hellp.

Have a LPD (I learned that from you!)

i am so sorry to read this, and colon cancer is so easy to prevent. i have lost a lot of friends to cancer, and i am very sorry for the pain your uncle and family are going through. we are all here for you if you want to vent. stay strong.

Kara,

I too am so very sorry. Be grateful to have Hospice there right away. My father died at home from prostate cancer and it was Hospice that enabled us to keep him at home and not is a cold and sterile hospital setting. He was so much more serene with us there.

Please know that hospice is there to keep him comfortable and if you need anything they get it and FAST! I mean immediately! The one thing I learned at that time is not to be afraid to treat my father's pain. My brother kept saying dad would get addicted. Well DUH! The man only had a couple of weeks to live and he's worrying about addiction? Finally I took over and made sure dad was as comfortable as possible. The nurses that come out will help you with his pain control. Once someone reaches hospice care comfort and compassion is all that matters.

Prayers for you and your family!
Chutzie... feel free to email if you want to chat, ok? been there...

My thoughts and prayers are with you.  Hospice is absolutely fantastic.  My husband of 43 yrs died from cancer.  I do not think I could have survived it without Hospice.

Try to relax as much as possible - I know that is very difficult but it will help with your pain.  Worry today about what you can do something about.  If you can't do anything about it today put it in a worry jar and forget about it until tomorrow.  Then take it out again and look at it and apply the same test.  It really helps.

Thanks everyone for your kinds words. The thing is I am so far away from him . I am in georgia and he is in michigan and there is no way for me to go to michigan right now . ((((hugs)))) everyone.

Kara, I know how hard this is on you, I'm in Texas and last year I lost two
uncles that lived in Ohio and I was unable to get up to them, so I kinda know
how your feeling, and your family will understand, I wish knowing that
would make it hurt less, and my heart goes out to you in this your hour of need....
