Just got a call tonite that they put my Father in Law in the hospital...he has gotten bad since Randy left and is in great pain. They had to admit him and from what the Doctors are saying he might not come out of there...Randy is so distraught over this as he is here in Kansas and they are in Texas...He is a Great man and will do anything for you adn this is just killing me because I love this Old Goat so much ...Thas his nickname from me to him and I have always been the Dumb Blonde for 25 almost 26 yrs ...He has always been there for me and Randy when we need them and sometimes when we didnt even ask...I know he has made peace with God and he didnt say anything to Randy this time like last year when he left. I know he is tried of hurting and I am sure he is ready but I am not ready for him to leave just yet but I can deal with it if it comes to that...I know he will finally meet my parents and my brother when he gets to heaven...Thanks for being there for me to talk to...Ya'll are Great...

Please keep him in your Prayers...

Prayers are with you and your family Kathy this is always so hard especially on those left behind.

Oh kathy give Randy a great big HUG

This is always so hard on everyone. you don't want him to suffer.

Here is hoping that he has some peace.
That is so sad that both your parents and your brother have passed on , that must be hard for you.
Just know that we are here for you and your family too. if you need anything just call or ask.
Tell Randy we care or let him read this thread and he can feel it for himself.

take care and hope all works out for the best

It's always harder when you can't be right there with them. Prayers go out to Randy and all of you during this difficult time.

Well they have the pain under control now and he seems better now hes not hurting so much and now they want to start Chemo and I dont know why they waited so late when they said that when they found this that Chemo and Radiation wouldnt help ...but this is what they are starting so who knows why they are doing it NOW...it just baffels me...but He is feeling better with the upped Morphine now...Thanks for all the Prayers and I love you guys...

~SimplyBlessed~ · « **Reply #12 on:** May 03, 2007, 01:27:30 PM »

I'm glad he is not feeling pain. That's a blessing.

Yes, it is weird that they would just now be starting Chemo. When was he diagnosed?

GoatTalker · « **Reply #13 on:** May 03, 2007, 02:39:39 PM »

Chemo in end stage cancer can sometimes reduce the symptoms. If he has stage 4 cancer, it normally won't cure it, just make him feel better-unless he reacts to the chemo.

Chaty · « **Reply #14 on:** May 03, 2007, 03:08:17 PM »

Its very advanced and its in his ribs now and up his spine to where he cant sit too long and get comfortable...He got his first treatment Tuesday and he said it hasnt made him sick yet but Randy hasnt talked ot him today to see how he is doing...I wish they had started it along time ago...he was diagnosed almost 2 yrs ago with this and they said at the time is was slow but agressive type...I still dont understand that at all if its slow its slow but then agressive is what it is , still puzzling ....I only hope they can control the pain and so far it is...Thanks again

GoatTalker · « **Reply #15 on:** May 03, 2007, 03:18:46 PM »

It grows slowly, but spreads throughout the body, is what I think they were trying to tell him. Some cancers grow slowly and stay localized for years and years, others hit the blood stream and it is Katie bar the door, as they attack multiple sites.

Chaty · « **Reply #16 on:** May 03, 2007, 04:24:26 PM »

Apparently he has had this for a while and then he finally went to get it checked and they said basically it was to late for surgery and then didnt offer any kind of treatment but some kind of pills and estrogen to slow it down, but it didnt work to well and it has spread alot since they found it.
And now they have started the Cehmo and I still dont understand why they didnt start it sooner if its supposed to help,....

Little Farmer Debi · « **Reply #17 on:** May 03, 2007, 07:39:31 PM »

Maybe it only helps for a little while and they want to make the time he has left more comfortable. I am totally guessing here .
Good thoughts being sent to your whole family, this is soo hard on all.

Just remember your goat talk family loves you too and we are here to support you any way you need.

Yorkielover · « **Reply #18 on:** May 03, 2007, 09:17:52 PM »

Yep we are here for you and Randy. Always!!

Chaty · « **Reply #19 on:** May 04, 2007, 04:14:23 AM »

UPDATE: Randys mother called today and said they didnt let him out of the hospital today because he started throwing up and his blood pressure dropped...they got the pressure stabilized and the throwing up is a symtom of the Chemo they think but are not sure yet...Guess hes in there for a while...they are running somemore tests also and she will let us know what the results are when she finds out...Thanks we love ya'll too and know we have you for support...I love you all...

~SimplyBlessed~ · « **Reply #20 on:** May 04, 2007, 04:22:50 AM »

Kathy,
My Dad is going thru it also...It's tough.
Hugs to you all.

Chaty · « **Reply #21 on:** May 04, 2007, 12:46:09 PM »

Hugs to your family too

Yep it hard and you feel so helpless to do anything because its not in our hand but HIS...

Sondra · « **Reply #22 on:** May 05, 2007, 12:01:59 AM »

Just praying they can keep the pain and suffering down for him. Prayers still headed your way

Chaty · « **Reply #23 on:** May 05, 2007, 01:40:44 AM »

Well they had to give him to pints of blood today and they didnt give a answer as to why they had to do this cept his pressure was down...they are now saying if he dont get sick at his stomach anymore he might get to go home Tuesday...and then they migh give himm another treatment in 3 wks, I bet he dont take it again as this has made him rethink it ...Thanks for the prayers all...

goatladie · « **Reply #24 on:** May 05, 2007, 03:57:34 PM »

How tough this is for your family Cathy - been thinking of you guys a lot lately... and yours as well Simply Blessed..

Sondra · « **Reply #25 on:** May 08, 2007, 09:32:05 PM »

Am praying he got to go home today. We had a friend that said the chemo was worse than the cancer so I know just what your f-n-l is thinking right now. Hopefully they will just reduce his pain and let him go home.

~SimplyBlessed~ · « **Reply #26 on:** May 09, 2007, 05:25:58 AM »
