    Dear Campbell,
    My prayers are with you and your family. My husband died on Oct. 7,2006, so I know what you are feeling, the pain never goes away. God is so good and your husband and mine are no longer suffering, they are at peace and waiting for us. I am finaly having a celebration of life for my husband this Sunday with about 90 friends and family, this was his wish and it took me this long to be able to do this. Keep strong. Gloria

    Dear KWJ,
    My prayers are with you and your family. It is very painful and you will question yourself many times, I know, my husband died on Oct. 7, 06, had MDS in Jan. 06, turned AML in April comlete remission for all of four months. Could never get back into remission, AML took his life. The only way to survive is to remember they are with God and are at peace. Blessings to you and your family, Gloria

    Sandy,
    My prayers are with you, my husband had Mylotarg as well as Vidaza after his relapse. However in his case nothing helped. Mylotarg is a chemo that is stronger than Vidaza. Good Luck and the very best to Mike. Gloria

    Dear Willie,
    Thanks for your reply, I think it is great that you have been able to decorate, I have not. I have my daughter trying her best to help me cope and I get so angry with myself for not being able to deal with this. Friends call and I do go to various outings and I try to pretend that all is fine and then it is night and I am alone and I think of the unfairness, he was never sick before and from his dx to his death it was only 9 months. I go to church and go through the motions but my heart is not there, I feel the day he passed part of me went with him. Blessings to you and your family. Gloria

    Dear Barb,
    Thank you for your reply. I am going to have knee surgery on Dec. 15, and I miss him terribly, he would have been there and taken me home, now my daughter has taken on the task and of course I will be alone. I used to tell my husband you are lucky you have someone there for you when you are gone who do I have. Yet life goes on and like you I try to make each moment count and remember the good times. This forum is a blessing.
    Thanks and blessings to you and all,
    Gloria

    KWJ,
    When my husbands MDS progressed to AML he went to the hospital immediatly and had chemo and went into remission at once. He was then Vidaza for one month and did very well all counts were in the normal range. Then second month of Vidaza he started with a fever and was treated with anitbiotics for about 5 weeks, I finaly insisted they admit him the hospital, they did a BMB and said his AML was back. We did chemo again but never regained remission, he did not have any pain and although very weak his mind was always with us. He lived three weeks after we went to the hospital, had no heart problems no pneumonia, the AML took his life. I will be praying for you and please get treatment at once. Gloria

    Dear Loretta,
    I wish you well and my prayers are with you. My husband was on Vidaza before he progressed to AML. At first it worked great and then he started to feel tired and had a slight fever every day. Go in at once, my husbands cancer doctor took too much time and the AML worked to fast, I lost him on Oct. 7, 06, I feel very strongly if he had received chemo sooner he would still be with me.
    Blessings to you and I am praying for you. Gloria

    Hope you had a Happy Thansgiving, it is so great that although you lost your husband you still have a lot to be thankful for. My husband died of AML on Oct. 7, 06 and right now I am having such a hard time. I have a great family and many friends, but my life has always been my husband and I now feel a big part of me is gone. Please let me know how you have been able to cope so well.Thanks, Gloria

    Dear Armansa,
    I can understand how you feel. I lost my husband on Oct. 7, 2006, he had MDS which turned to AML, he did everything to fight. Had chemo and went into remission only to have it all come back 4 months later and again he had chemo, but lost his fight. I am angry at the doctors for not having done enough, I am angry at the drug companies who only care about the profits they make. I am lost in this world support your brothers family in every way you can, that will give you peace. Time heals I am told. May we both heal in time.
    Blessings, Gloria

    Dear Sarah,
    I have a really hard time trying to cope and my oldest daughter lives next door and has been coming over to stay with me at night. During the day I have friends coming all the time. I pray daily to God to be able to accept this loss, I need closure, sofar I take one step forward and two steps back. I just received my husbands ashes and was hoping it would ease my pain some, but it did not. Thank for your kind and comforting words.Gloria
