The Biopsy results :-(

Such sad news. You will remain in our thoughts.

You guys are some of the bravest people I've ever met, and I've never even
really met you.

Boatloads of healing, strengthening and life-enhancing purrs and prayers to
you all...and a special Brandy Candy Kiss. Brandy's kisses have a unique
ability to crack open clouds to let a bit of sunlight through, and bring
peace along with it.

No one should go through it alone, and I hope you don't forget we're all here.


Blessed be,
Baha

biopsy shows borderling GBM. Glioblastoma Metaforme is the worst kind
you can get. The usual life span after this is 3-6 months. Since it
is borderline, it should be longer, but not by much.

I'm not surprised by the diagnoses. I was expecting to get bad news.
I'll have to love him all the more for the time I've got with him.
Damn it. No one should have to go through this.

Rob is feeding himself today. Even with his problems, he still eats
more neatly than I do when I'm healthy. Part of the problem is that
Rob doesn't like to get help when he needs it. Just now, he had a
problem, wet himself, stripped himself down to the bare bones and was
trying to get a new gown and dress himself. Both the nurse and I were
shocked and amused at the same time.

Dr Ewend is out west doing dr things, so will talk to us when he gets
back next week. We can't do much of anything until we get the
siezures stopped. Then it will go on from there. I'm sorry that it
isn't good news group, but at least Rob will be taken care of for the
time he has left.

There is no way to make this better or easier for you and Rob, or for Mandy
and Mike.

You have all shown amazing courage.

It does sound very much like Rob is still Rob. And I know that is the most
important and precious thing to you. May you have many more days and hours
and moments together.

Pam, we are so grateful that we were able to meet you both last summer. We
are sending you and your family lots of hugs and purrs of comfort and peace.

Please know that we're with you through this for the long haul. Otherwise I
could fill the page with meaningless platitudes and worn cliches, but you
are smarter than that and deserve better.

*Hugs*

OMG Pam, I'm so sorry to hear this. you're right no one should ever
have to go through this.

My roommate's father had Hepatitis C and I had to watch him
deteriorate and it was heartvreaking. I can't imagine what you are
going through.

Big hugs from me

{{{{{{{{{{{{ Pam }}}}}}}}}}}} I really don't know what to say. Purrs for Rob
to have some good times in the time he has left.

Oh, Pam! I'm so sorry!

There are no words that can really help, so a hug will have to do.

((((((((((Pam and Rob))))))))))

In the meantime, purrs and prayers that this is as painless and peaceful as
possible.

Tuffty is sending some of his best tummy rub purrs, he says they're
guaranteed to help get those seizures under control. The rest of the
furries are purring their heads off for Rob too.
