So, today 3Mar after a couple weeks of testing the pathology of a biopsy of mass in his lymph node shows clear cell cancer which is inoperable and untreatable. They say he has 1 to 3 years. He had Hodgkins cancer when he was 11 treated with radiation, the same cancer when he was 13 treated with chemo. He was good untill two years ago he had quad bypass open heart surgery. This new issue started up about 6 weeks ago starting with a sore neck.
He is worried about his wife and son(15).
I am soliciting prayers!

Starting treatments this coming Friday. Which seems weird if it is un treatable, it said if it is beneficial? I' check the term again and get back on.

But he his having some issues breathing and coughing now, sounds horrible, but still going into work because he wanted to manage days for when he really need to take off. Before this bad news he thought the worse case would be doing chemo he was already talking about having an access port put in like when he was going through treatment when he was a kid.

Cancer sucks, period!
My spouse works at SCCA/Fred Hutch and I hear these stories daily
All tragic with the occasional bright spot
Where is he getting treatment?
There are good ones and not so good ones
Even docs within any clinic
May be able to help
PMs will be responded to
And more prayers to him, you and your family

Seems like he should be able to qualify for SS Disability pay, I’d start there.

So if he can't work isn't the some kind of social security that you can be on and the be eligible fot Medicare ?
Sent from my SM-A426U using Tapatalk
Yes. Apply for social security disability. After two years on disability people are automatically on Medicare, I don’t know if he can get it sooner than that. It’s a good question to ask when on the phone applying for disability.
I also went to SCCA, I think they changed their name to Fred Hutch Cancer Center recently, with very late stage cancer & they saved my life. A second opinion is always worthwhile. MD Anderson in Texas also has a very good reputation. If the place in Arizona your sister is checking is Cancer Centers of America , I’d encourage your family to tread carefully. They advertise fantastic success rates, but they do it by only selecting patients with the very best health insurance and cherry picking cases with the easiest to treat cancer.

If it were me I’d try autophagy if my weight was good enough, and I’d do NAC and Ivermectin while not fasting
If you haven’t heard of autophagy you’ve got some reading to do

I was told 10 years ago that I had less than 6 months and to get my things in order. I had a Sarcoma in my leg the size of a large beer can. Biggest ever seen they said. I refused chemo cause 0 percent chance to live they said. I did take radiation after the operation. I prayed every day and still do. I will pray for you and your family. God bless.That's amazing.To the OP best of wishes and hope your son proves the doctor's wrong.

He did get on a drug trial for about a week, got deathly sick.
Could do not the immunotherapy at the time because he was so beat down by the trial drug. Just iv's to rehydrate him.
Eventually did do the first round of immunotherapy.
Got hurting so bad his wife took him in to ST. Pete at 0400, Oxygen level low, wanted to admit him and parked him in a hallway saying it could take up to 24 hours to get a room. Parked him next to some guy that was a raging Ahole with security across from him.
His wife call his care team a Fred Hutch, they said to bring him to UW Med. My daughter and I took him. They checked him out he had pneumonia in left lung, low oxygen level, torn mussel in his lower back from coughing. He was admitted sat to Friday. Now, has an oxygen machine in his house that he uses at night time
I took him up Monday the 8th May for his second round of immunotherapy. The mass in his lung has grown since a PET scan and the scan they took while he was at UW med. They say they usually do not see any change until after the third round of immunotherapy. Therapy is every three weeks
Life really sucks right now. He had plans to keep working some to manage his time off work. BUT, he has been beat down since the trial drug. He can hardly move without pain, barely eats, seems like it pains him to talk. He is pretty much a wreck, he has gone down hill pretty fast since my 03 march post. I really can find the words to describe the situation, but it is worse. He talked about if life is going to be like this, and things get worse he does not want them doing anything to prolong life. We talked some about DNR, my daughter mentioned some counseling for people who maybe terminal. Yesterday he said they are looking into Social Security Disability, he said Dad, I don't think I am going to be able to go back to work.
Hey folks we don't need any thing but prayers. Waiting for this third round of therapy in two week. Seems like he is giving up. My daughter asked him if he was afraid of dying, she said he said no. I asked him if he believed in GOD he said he does.

My thoughts mirror this!
Praying for peace and healing for all of you!

There are no words anyone can say that will ease your pain. It just plain sucks! Anger, frustration, and sadness are normal emotions, and though we as men feel we need to be strong for everyone else, please don't suppress them. Find a time and a way to grieve for yourself because if you don't they will come out...whether you want them to or not. Be comforted in the fact that Kenneth no longer feels pain and suffering, but at the end of the day it still just sucks. No father should have to outlive his child. We aren't wired for that kind of grief. If there's anything you need the Blanchards are on standby.
:yeah: :yeah: :yeah:
So very sorry for your loss.

I am crying right now just reading this for the first time.
Please take care of his wife and kids and prayers sent to all of you in this time of need.
Not trying to make this about me, but I 100% know what your family is going through.
Just lost my 51 year old beautiful wife to liver cancer a month ago today after 15 years of heart problems and more surgeries than I can count…all stemming from having Hodgkins as a kid.
I know how tough it is for me and our boys right now and we’ve known her time here was limited, for a while now….
This hits home too close and all I can offer besides our prayers is help.
I’m not on here all the time but I’m in a little better place than you all right now and please reach out if I can help with anything. I’ve also been navigating the what to do, SSI benefits insurance etc. If I can help your family in any way it would please me to pay back just a little of the kindness we’ve received recently!
