Are you kidding me?

[strikeout]

As if an ALS variant wasn't enough, my husband just found out he has metastatic colon cancer. Does anyone have any knowledge of someone with both ALS and cancer. We have an appointment with the oncologist on Tuesday. Was wondering if anyone knows of the risks involved with receiving chemo in his condition besides the obvious weakness it will cause. I do not want him to lose that last little bit of mobility he has. :sad:

Oh, man, I am SO sorry about your husband. What a blow, to both of you.

I can't offer any advice, but I'm sure the oncologist will want to work closely with the neuro.

This is so hard ... I just offer my sympathies to you both, and will be praying that his treatments don't affect his ALS progression.

Very sorry about the cancer diagnosed! I have no knowledge of going thru chemo with ALS. Just wish you both the best luck possible with all of it!

strikeout,

I am so sorry that you guys are dealing with cancer on top of ALS. I hope you guys get answers at your appt.
Thinking of you guys.

Oh Honey! Will keep you guys in our prayers! can't even express how much this sucks!

Thank you all so much for your thoughts, hugs and prayers. His liver biopsy confirmed our worst fear. Hopefully it is early stage as he only had his colon cancer surgery in April. Seems so unfair that he has to deal with this on top of everything else.

It is unfair. It is totally unfair. I cannot tell you, how much my heart goes out to you. My mom always says, "God only gives us what we can handle so obviously he thinks very highly of us." I am sending you hugs and strength and courage. I wish you all the best.

Big big hugs,
Rosella

Boy oh boy that is something that is hard to even respond to. I am so sorry for the both of you having to go through this....Maybe just maybe it wont be as bad as we fear it will be. Like the other posts said, just make sure that the oncologist and the neuro are on board together. Hang in there, just one day at a time right! My thoughts and prayers are with you!
Hugs, Kari
