Thank-you. I know how difficult it can be to try to be working fulltime along with your duties other duties at home. I was working fulltime during the first 4 years of our ordeal and I worried about my wife when I had to leave. Fortunately she could do the basics for herself during those years. It was early 2019 when she began to descend into more severe illness and debilitated state. Even now she usually takes care of most of her personal needs and all of her more intimate ones. I take care of most of the day to day stuff, cleaning, cooking, and all of the business stuff (which I have always done) as well as getting things for her when she is too fatigued, etc. It's great that you are able to work from home now. I can't say too much that is good about covid but the fact of many people now being allowed to do their work at home is definitely one thing that is a positive.

I am happy that you have a strong faith in God. There is nothing that gives a person more strength than that in my opinion. And I am glad you are on Connect as an outlet for yourself. Best, Hank

My husband has colon cancer and it metastasize into the liver. It is BRAF type . He is on encorafaib and cetuxmab . Encorafaib is pill form of chemo . He started out with 4 pills but then got bad stomach pains. So they put him down to 2 pills a day . He gets Cetuximab every Tuesday. Now he is getting so he cannot poop. They were worried about a bowel obstruction .if he has that they said they would do a bag where they bypass the colon. At Christmas he had diverticulitis really bad and was in the hospital for 5 days , Thant cleared up and now he has been back on the chemo since the second week in January and now we donnot know what is going on. Our Dr said he is his first patient on this chemo . The results from what he said are not very good odds . Does anyone know anything about this type of cancer and chemo? Please help he is in pain because of hard stools and not beable to relieve himself. He does do stool softeners , laxitives, and drinks prune juice. Any other suggestions would be helpful
Thank you
