I'm about to go postal. My MAGAt SIL is bagging on my wife who is fighting for her life against cancer. Her sister trying to get my wife to stop chemo and radiation, and do an Ivermectin therapy that my SIL's Baptist preacher told her about. Because Jesus says to. #Motherfuckers #ChristoFascists
@TwiHusband I hope your wife will have the success my husband has had with his chemo for Bladder cancer. It's been a rough 3+ year road. His cancer is one of the most aggressive. He has followed surgery and chemo with immunotherapy. Cancer offers no guarantees. However, we didn't expect him to still be here. For 10 months now he has been strong and healthy. At the end of the year he will be completeling his treatments and the doctors are telling him to live his life in recovery mode.
@MorningMoon Ovarian canacer, stage 3. Surgery, followed by chemo for 2 years. A couple of weeks ago they found metastases in her brain. She had her first beam radiation treatment yesterday.
On the up side, she's lucid, active, and in no pain.
@TwiHusband (2) Shortly afterward his kidney became engorged and they thought scar tissue was blocking the Uter. It wasn't. After a nephrostomy to save the kidney, we went through chemo and then bladder removal. During that surgery they also removed the prostate. The cancer had matastized. We had come to the point of simply accepting the inevitable. His oncologist recommended we try immunotherapy. He started almost 11 months ago he has gradually improved. Had no sign of a recurrence.
@TwiHusband (3) I know you are all exhausted, frightened and struggling to keep it together. I also know cancer is difficult and affects everyone differently. I truly hope you get a positive result. My thoughts are with you.
@MorningMoon The downer, for her, is that she's can't drive right now. The brain involvement means the possibility of a seizure, even with medication. So we can't chance her having a seizure while driving.
@TwiHusband I hope that's not permanent.
@TwiHusband (1) I wish her, you and your family only the best. I know how difficult this is. My want offer hope when it is so hard to hold onto. My husband had a large tumor removed. They then had to do a second surgery to increase the margins. He was then put through a full series of BCG treatments (a form of chemo for bladder cancer). He was that rare patient that had an adverse reaction, making them a miserably and painful process. We were told that he was cancer free.
