It has been a while since I posted. I miss TUG a lot but when life circumstances make it impossible to travel, there is a little piece of me that broke off and it actually made me sad to post here.
My DH, Bruce, just completed his eighth Chemo session for Stage 4 Lung Cancer. I am telling everyone I know that has ever smoked to get a chest xray!!! He hadn't smoked in 40 years yet that didn't clear him of developing this cancer. It has metastasized and he may have a year to live if lucky.
We found out about this cancer while at a timeshare in Florida. Went to one of their meetings, he had some type of strange happening where he went stoic and did not respond to anyone/anything. I asked someone to call 911 and he was in the hospital for 4 days during which they found this cancer.
In addition to it, he has progressive dementia and life has been very difficult. Feel like I have an eight year old, have to watch him constantly, put out clothes to wear, his driver's license has been taken, he cannot remember much of anything anymore.
Ironically, the dementia has helped him thru the cancer. He does not remember why he gets the intravenous shots so he isn't worried, like I am.
So my TUG friends, that is why I have not posted. When I don't see the fun travels you all are taking -- I don't miss it quite so much. Take care. Cathy
