Support
At this point in the game all I could do was offer help and support to Mike, even this did not feel like enough. I felt lost and did not know what to do for him, the truth is there was nothing I could do. This treatment that he was going through was right out of hell! There is nothing else to say about it. He was SICK! He could not swallow anymore, he was drooling, be it in a trash can or wherever, he could not help it, he just could not swallow. He of course was eating NOTHING, drinking NOTHING, he had lost so much weight, at this point he had lost another person, it was crazy and how fast that happened. I felt so helpless, of course I was doing everything I could but it just did not seem like enough. I would watch him daily go through HELL and just think, how do people do this? There has to be a better way, I mean I thought the same thing going through my own cancer treatment but his seemed so much worse in ways. I have said it before and I will say it forever, cancer is cancer, no journey is the same, everyone goes through cancer and treatment differently but to see what Mike was going through shattered my heart into a million pieces. I am going to share some pictures of him VERY SOON, I can talk about it until I am blue in the face but once you see him, at the different stages of his treatment I think you will get what I am saying, it will be more clear, at least I hope it is.
