My boyfriend thought his shoulder pain was due to pulling some muscles. After a couple of months of it getting worse…he thought …oh my Lord…I bet I have a torn rotor-cuff. We only wish it was so…
He went from those thoughts to the doctors finding a tumor on shoulder..(no problem, odds are that it is benign)...to hearing lung cancer with metastisis to shoulder and large bones… and 12-18 months???

I started logging this “journey” from MY perspective. The thoughts, feeling and poetry from someone who loves someone…who has cancer.

riding out the chemo after-effectsViews: 1570

Wes had his chemo again last Wednesday so needless to say we arent spending the weekend together. Yesterday and today he has been feeling pretty rough. Besides the usual neuropathy, he is aching in his bones from his thigh down and is having trouble even getting up and walking. I can hear the pain in his voice when we talked on the phone…I feel so helpless.

CANCER
C – Comes from out of nowhere…
A- at a time in your life when you think you have conquered or managed to manuever around the obstacles in your path…or perhaps at a time when you are just beginning to live your life…
N- noone can hide from this disease…only deal with the
C- consequences that you are now faced with…
E- everyone is effected…you…your friends and family
R- reeling …with thoughts and well meaning…all wishing for a miracle from God.

Sorry to hear about the pain and all.

Tell Wes to get better and we will meet somewhere for a ride, next summer in the mountains, we will ride motorcycles and ogle women and drink beers, then come home and you and my wife can cook us dinner and tell us how handsome we are. Man! I love being a guy.

Hugz to you both and God’s peace

Dear Celeni; So sorry to hear of Wes’s pain. Can you do me a favour. If you click that you suppport me I will get your postings emailed to my email. I would like to keep updated and I rarely go to the general postings, only if I have a spare minute or two. I always like your words so much. There is nothing worse than bone pain for which I have been an expert at dodging the reality of it all. Bone scan on Wed. to see if indeed it is in my spine. Last scan showed no change either way so with the grace of the big buy up in the sky I am hoping that the result of this one is also no change. That would mean it is an old back injury and not related and mestasis from the breast. Still, with the hormonal drugs I am on it causes much bone pain so I feel like a little old woman on some days, where a crane would be the answer getting out of bed. HOpe you see Wes this week. Take care and keep the love. Weezie
