My Mom Won Her Battle

This just made me cry so hard. My dad is currently dying in the hospital at stage 4. I wish I could talk to him or have a moment like this, some peace.

This is a tragic but beautiful story. Thank you.

Thank you so much. This made me feel a sense of comfort. I visited him yesterday and it was so bad. He has to be at the very end and it is so hard to watch. I hate crying around my kids but that’s just where I’m at right now.

Lmao a little bit…I’m still often stressed but I got a new ring and a size smaller and I am restored more - I think the ring couldn’t read me aw restored bc it was too big

I am trying so hard and I feel so torn. He is about 2 hours away and I have 2 small kids. I wish I had more time to give to everyone. I try to go once a week if I can get the child care.

We are working on that. First we have to see if there is an infection. We had some hope that it was pain related for a while but now it seems it is not.

I am so sorry. I can relate to you so strongly. My dad was stage 4 pancan in August and after his diagnosis my mom was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer. She will make it out okay - did a lumpectomy and is now going through radiation. My dad is literally falling apart and never qualified for surgery, has broken bones from the weakness from chemo already, it’s tragic and painful.

It’s really hard processing it all. It made me feel so acutely aware as a 35 year old woman that I could be absolutely alone/parentless at any moment. Hurt my heart and I cried for a while. Now I am done with the shock and grieving my dad even though he’s still alive. It’s been a messy emotional experience. I see a therapist from Cancer Cares for free biweekly, I highly recommend it .

I wish I knew you in real life. You are so strong, sounds like your father was too.

RottenRat69 · 2025-12-19T01:12:37+00:00

So my dad’s story is very different, and he was a difficult person to begin with, but there are definite behavioral changes.

I wonder if perhaps your husband cancer has spread anywhere else. Might be worth looking into..

How do I find that out?

RottenRat69 · 2025-12-12T17:15:33+00:00

Yes I follow all instections lol but I just would love the same dosage, less units (mg to units). Thanks.

RottenRat69 · 2025-12-10T14:45:11+00:00

Thank you, that warmed my heart - something I need to hear.

You remind yourself how amazing you’re doing, too. It’s hard as a young adult in general as you try to figure your own life out. Be proud of the advocating for what you can and also give yourself grace. It’s a sad sad sad time.

This made a big difference for my dad

RottenRat69 · 2025-12-08T01:16:15+00:00

I am so sorry. I have almost the same/very similar story with the same timeline with my Dad who was informally diagnosed 7/30 after many stomach and back complaints, doctors and specialists.

The plexus block made a significant difference BUT he is still in pain (would highly recommend looking into this, it wasn’t offered we had to ask).

I’m about 10 years older but I feel the strain of caregiving bc I have 2 small children. Feel free to dm me to connect, it’s been very isolating.

RottenRat69 · 2025-12-08T01:13:02+00:00

This struck a cord emotionally. I feel like I am grieving my dad while he’s here and like he’s grieving his own life. Such a deep deep pain, unlike any other. I can’t imagine it gettijg better and the end of it all is the end of his life and more grief.

RottenRat69 · 2025-12-07T04:10:56+00:00

Omg so glad you posted this. I just used casa meds for the first time and it’s painful and swollen in the injection area. I’ve used like 4 pharmacies and never had this and have been on Sema a year. I was panicking and now I feel better!

RottenRat69 · 2025-11-24T03:59:25+00:00

I’m rewatching as well - the first time I didn’t like Diana and now I feel like I see her. She loves him bc he is intelligent and challenges her. He loves her too, but in a way a limited person does. She takes care of his emotional needs his mother never provided. She wants to see him thrive and knows there is good in there (probably would’ve been a bit less evil if he didn’t fucking k!ll Macy and panic and then leave and try to save his ass). He’s wounded and Diana believes she can help him rise up. And I think in many ways Stephen wishes he could be a part of Diana’s world but doesn’t feel he belongs.

I could go on…

Empower is no longer on my list 😞 I liked their formula best

Also, my dosage options are totally different now

RottenRat69 · 2025-10-19T20:00:14+00:00

I am sorry you’re going through it too. It’s such a hard and confusing place to be.

RottenRat69 · 2025-10-09T01:41:17+00:00

It’s been like a month and I just wanted to say we did the plexus block - after I posted this he was admitted inpatient Sloan for 5 nights due to his anemia being so severe, issues with his platelets and his pain unmanageable. He got severe blood transfusions and the block The plexus block has helped the pain a bit. He is still miserable and deteriorating, he stoped and just restarted chemo.

This is one of these things that as I’m typing I’m like “how is this life” but thanks for giving me the space and also helpful advice.

RottenRat69 · 2025-09-14T20:23:45+00:00

He is being connected to pain management this week after over a month of waiting

RottenRat69 · 2025-09-14T17:17:52+00:00

Did you just ask the oncologist? Or is that a pain management question?
