Frown Prayers and vibes, please?
For my BIL, Jim. His colon cancer is back and very aggressive. Five months ago he was declared clear after a stage 3 diagnosis, 9 lymph nodes removed, chemo. Colon cancer is what our (my sister and mine) mother died from, in 1994. Now it's got my sister's husband. I'm so scared for them.

They live in Dallas and were in a motel because their power had been out for 4 days. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital Monday. Just yesterday he got out of ICU. Five months ago he was cancer clear, now it is all through his abdomen down to the rectum. Very aggressive. Has to wait 4 weeks to start chemo again for his new insurance to go into effect. Sis is afraid to wait that long.

My thoughts are jumbled because I'm very upset. Please put Jim and Karen on your prayer list or send them your strong good vibes.

Sparky,

From what I understand, chemo is not necessarily that expensive? I wonder if they should just start it early and pay off the doctors a little each month? Prayers and hugs to you....

Jim saw a dr yesterday that gave him less than a year to live. I absolutely despise a dr giving a timeline like that. Too many people take it as gospel because it came out of a dr's mouth. Jim and Karen are too smart for that, but still, drs should not say that.

A Dr gave my Brother Jim,with prostate cancer, 6 months to live.
He got a new Doc and with good treatments, lived 5 more,
relatively healthy, years. He visited me four times, during
that time, from his home in Fla. Including coming for my DH's
funeral.

Jim will stay in my prayers.
