Moving to hospice

I am so very sorry to hear your latest news. Hospice care maybe where they can keep Vince the most comfortable but I am wondering if it would be possible for him to receive further doses of keytruda there and give it a little bit more time to work. 

I am struggling to find words for you as I have watched the pain and hurt my disease has brought to my family and husband since my stage four diagnosis in Oct 2016. Vince is still coherent..so. maybe now is the time to say those important things. It is painful but part of the cost of loving. The other thing besides a revised will was giving permission for my husband to give decisionbs on my behalf as to further treatment…this carries legal power.

You will both be in my thoughts and prayers tonight . You are not on your own walking this path.

Hoping that the turn of the year will bring better news,

Oh Judy,

I wish there was something I could say that would in some tiny way help, but I know there is not. I will be praying for you and your husband. Whenever you need to cry, vent your anguish or anything, there are a great number of people here to support you or even simply listen.

Judy,

I am so sorry that things have progressed so rapidly.  You and Vince have hardly had time to digest the Stage IV diagnosis.  No words that I have will take away the fear and pain you are feeling, but please know that you are deeply cared for here.

I am so sorry to hear about Vince's rapid progression.  You will be in my prayers for a miracle.  President Carter did well on Keytruda.  I pray that it will work for Vince,  Sending positive thoughts your way!

Oh, Judy.  I am so sorry for all you and your husband have been going through.  Have been following your story.  Have not commented as others have given good suggestions, docs have seemed on point, and you have been an amazing support to your husband…learning so much in such a short and difficult period of time. You have been a real gift to your husband, through this horrible ordeal, and I suspect for all your years together.  That is a real gift indeed. Hang in there.  Yell here all you want.  I will still be hoping keytruda will work faster than expected. Yours, celeste

Hey Judy,

Just offering more words of support.  Being the caregiver and the partner/spouse/soulmate of someone going through this is a huge deal and you are a wonderful gift to your husband.  I know it must be brutal watching your husband go through this.  Many of us out here on the board will be thinking about both of you and hoping for Keytruda to kick in.  My heartfelt hugs to you.  will light a candle for y'all tonight.

There really are no words to express how deeply sorry I am you and your husband have had to go on this awful ride and have it go downhill so quickly. It is absolutely hardest on the caregivers; your husband is so very lucky to have you by his side. Sending love and prayers your way.

Dear Judy,

my only new years wish is for all our warriors to get better, Vince too of course…

Have no words to make it better, just know that we all pray for all you brave guys and ladies going through this….

Believing and hoping for keytruda will give you a miracle…

So sorry, Judy, to read about the nightmare you and your beloved husband are going through.  I am sure you must feel numb with the shock of all this happening so quickly.

I am sure that even through all this, Vince can feel your love and that you give him a reason to continue to fight on every day.  You sound like the most wonderful care-giver anyone could have.

As others have said, I hope that while he receives hospice care to make him as comfortable as possible, the Drs will agree to continue with Keytruda, it definitely can take time to work and although time is not on your side I know, it could still give you the miracle you need.

lots of prayers and hope for you both

Judy,

I just read some of your story and feel your pain as I was in your shoes a few short months ago. If you are a praying type please ask God to give you and your precious and amazing husband the comfort, strength, and peace you require right now.

My husband had many of the same symptoms you describe, he had stage IV leptomeningeal melanoma. Please let hospice take over and just love your husband and hold him and tell him he's all you've ever needed and more! I lost my Bryan on Oct 14, he was just 49 years old. I want you to know there are people praying for you, I truly understand what it feels like. 

You can do this.
