Need some good vibes [View all]

Last edited Wed May 28, 2025, 03:25 PM - Edit history (2)

Having a very bad day. Awhile back I posted about my son's ACC cancer. It's back and there are no further treatments. Cancer doc said it was time for palitive care. It is skull base and infiltrating his orbital nerves affecting his sight and he can no longer drive. He lives in Washington and I'm in the Sacramento area
I traveled to take him to his doc appointment and bring him home with me. So we can help him with medical needs. Packed up his car to make the trip down. We got as far as klamath Falls and the transmission went out, quote to fix was more than 8 grand (thanks tfg). So am in a hotel waiting for hubby to get to pick us up.
So good vibes would be greatly appreciated
Thanks P

I want to thank all of you for the outpouring of love, prayers and positive vibes. You kept me calm while waiting for hubby (lame54) to arrive. Thank you again.
Edited to add:

We are finally on our way home. Once I get him settled in, we will start the process of transferring his medical care. The one good thing about this cancer is it is slow growing. So we still have some time. The only functions he has lost is site in one eye, but still has blurred vision in the other and hearing in one ear. This cancer sets up shop in the nerves making it difficult to treat but slow progression. He was diagnosed in 2016 with two surgeries and two rounds of different types of radiation.
We knew the time would come when no further treatments would be available.

I want to thank you all for being there and getting me through a very difficult time
Bless you all and I will keep the cancer group updated as to his progress.
Patricia
