AND my brother was having an emergency appendectomy (is there any other kind? LOL) the same day my dad was transferred from rehab to psych ward because he started biting and hitting. Trying to delay the flow of information both ways was a challenge!

I am so sorry for all that you and your family have been through. I really cannot imagine. I guess just take one day or even one moment at a time.

Jen, I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad. I cannot even begin to imagine how much that must hurt. But then to have your DH diagnosed with cancer on top of that, and to still not have any answers and be in "wait" mode must be excruciating. I am so glad you have your faith. Lean on that and lean hard. I am praying for you and your family. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Take time to take care of yourself through this, have faith in God and know that worrying doesn't help. It just creates stress. I know that logically that is easy to understand, and right now you are in a place that isn't logical, but hopefully by taking care of yourself, letting everything else go, you will get nearer to that place.
I am so very sorry you are having to go through this. Lean on us too-we are here for you. Any time of the day or night we are here. So don't be afraid to post or ask for anything. You won't wear out your welcome with us!
Debbie in MD.

I'm so sorry. You seem to have shown amazing strength so far. I hope things get to settle down to a more reasonable load really soon and your husband's scan comes back with good news.

Oh Jenjie how much to take on at one time especially this time of year.
I hope that they are able to remove the mass and that is the the end of it. I will be thinking of you all.

(((Jenjie))) You are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry that you are so overwhelmed. I've been the patient and the caregiver, and in my experience, it's so much harder to watch a beloved family member go through a serious illness.
Please go easy on yourself--if a friend of yours was in the situation you are in and was upset and had a poor attitude/was snappy at times, you wouldn't take what she did/said personally and would be gracious and loving to her while trying to ease her burden. So why are you beating yourself up in the same situation? You've got so much going on that something has to give.
I am sad that your extra preparations to surprise your son for his birthday didn't go well. I'm sure when you son looks back on this event when he is much older and realizes everything you were going through at the time, that he will be so sad and embarrassed at his attitude. The fact that he maintained his composure through the party and acted gracious is a huge indication that you and your dh are parenting him well. I think that this birthday party will become one of his favourite childhood memories because it is such a wonderful example of the strength of your love and determination that his birthday not be ruined.
Please allow your family and friends to help you. You need time to rest as well as time to spend with your dh and children. Quality time with your family is a huge priority, but it's easy to let that time slip away while you are struggling to keep up with household chores and everything that we feel like we absolutely *have* to do in our extremely busy society.
I hope and pray that you dh's doctors will figure out exactly what is going on ASAP so your dh will be able to start treatment. We serve an awesome God that loves us and will use this situation for everyone's good. It takes a strong person to admit that they need the help of others and allows Jesus to carry them in His arms and accepts the help and prayers of others.
