Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 11 | Hi everyone: I havent written very much but I'm asking for prayers for my husband Joe. He in in the ICU fighting pneumonia and sepsis. They are saying he is very critical. How funny is that. Its not his cancer but pneumonia that has made him so sick. But I guess it is all linked together. He has been having so much trouble these past 2 yrs. with his surgery and then his radiation and the aftereffects of the radiation which was worse than the cancer. He is now on a ventilator to let his lungs rest and I am hoping that the medicine is doing what it is suppose to. I guess I'm trying to vent a little of my frustration here. I wish I had taken him to Phila. or another cancer center but they were so sure they could do the job here, which I guess they did but it could've turned out differently. He has been on a peg tube since his surgery which the surgeon said he would be able to eat but couldn't. I'm just rambling on forgive me. I will let you know how things are going, but we could sure use some prayers. Thanks all of you. Roseanne | | |
