My Husband

1st a big thanks to Squid and Stinkerbelle you have been my life lines. One other thing I can tell you all that Stinker and her daughter make the most excellent cookies you will ever eat. I was blessed to receive a care package of those cookies. Now for the rest. My husband of 42 years was told 2 1/2 months ago he has cancer. Cancer of the brain,lung and adrenal gland. he completed radiation to the brain several weeks ago. It worked. Today he started chemo for the rest. His chemo is in pill form. Now the pill costs over $3000 /month. The drug company is providing the drug for 1 year at no charge. We hope to gain quality in his life for as long as possible. We can win the battle but we will one day lose the war. So we take each day as it comes. As I always have and for the rest of my life. I will love him with every breathe I take

I can't imagine what you going through but I will pray for you all.

This weekend has been hard. My husband has 4 brothers and he had refused to tell them about his cancer. He finally agreed to tell them. One at a time they have come. I have told them to come when they want to. The oldest told me he wanted to come even if he was sleeping. He would sit by his side. The youngest lives in another state and I am hoping we get some improvement. It is my hope to get the 5 brothers together at one time.

Squid · July 28, 2013, 06:54:27 AM

(((HARLEY))) I hope the timing is perfect, Har. I hope all the brothers are together for a wonderful visit together! How is your hubby feeling?

Harley, my thoughts & prayers are with you & your husband!!

His chemo pill(AKA zombie pill) is unique to deal with. I now give it to him around 6pm so that he can have visitors after lunch each day.

My sister in law has had cancer and fighting for the past year and a half. And so I understand what you're going through.
I will keep you both and family in prayer. i hope it is possible for the brothers to get together too.
God Bless,
Gentle Hugs, Lin

Harley sweetie, I send out an umbrella of healing prayer over everyone in your family. My daughter in law's seizure meds cost $600 every 2 weeks. We were handed a card while in line to get it once. The site is called FamilyWise Prescription Discount http://familywize.org/ and they were able to lower it to about a quarter of what it was. Go to the site and print out the card or call 866-810-3784. It is reusable and you do not have to give out ANY info to get it. I have a stack I keep in my wallet now and pass them out when at the pharmacy like what happened to us. I use it for all my meds even the ones covered by insurance. My allergy meds are $79 a month thru my insurance and only $14 with the discount card!

Squid · July 28, 2013, 06:29:46 PM

How generous of you to share that info, Dis! I hope it's a HUGE help to you, Harley. I tried two medications that my mother takes and it did nothing to offer a savings but clearly that is not the case with all meds if Dis saved so much. GOOD LUCK!
