Tomorrow, Rich will be going to the Oncologist. We put together a list of 20 questions to ask. I am extremely nervous

and depressed. Every night I take 4 meds to help me sleep. However I have been having horrible dreams. I was hoping my family would send a card. Rich likes it when he gets the cards and has them lined up on the mantle. Beside worry about Rich, I was taken in by my Mother and sister. I should have listened to you folks. She left a message say she was very sorry for hurting me and loved me 100
percent. Wow, she has changed. So I called, boy was that a mistake.Between her and my sister screaming at me and saying nasty things about Rich. I have had it. Five minutes later my sister calls leaving a shitty voicemail. I know I don't need their baggage . This happened Sunday. I was told I made the earlier conversation up ---then why did she say she was sorry? I am confused and doubted my own sanity while being their for Rich. Still no card, no calls to him. I hate them and it bothers me terribly how they are treating my husband. It hurts me, I think, more then it hurts him.

Rich got his official PET results back. He still has malignant prostrate cancer but it has not spread. He will get shots

and radiation, No calls or cards from my family. Rich is my love and my concern. Thank you all for posting on this matter.

I had an online appointment with my therapist today. Rich goes for his PET tomorrowTuesday. I am nervous. Have not

received a card from "family" She called four times over the week end. Told me sister has covid and wanted to know if that is normal. I told her it was , since she works in a nursing him. Preceded to tell me about the flies in her house. I said i need to go. Called again and told me about all the people in her family that died from cancer. Called on Sunday, left a message that this was her mother calling and she shit me out, she owes me nothing. Sister is screaming in background about getting a taxi down to Pittsburgh. Also for Father's Day they want to get a combined Husband/ Wife headstone. I am to chip in. Got one more but didn't answer it, No calls since, No card for Rich, My sister does not and never had cancer, She had a polyp removed, Rich was in PreMed at Cornel. I spent two years in the Nursing Program at Penn State. . It breaks my heart that after spending my entire summer carting them to and from Pittsburgh and sending her balloons, flowers, candy and a teddy bear for a made up cancer, I should have known better as when his parents died, no cards were sent. I guess we should block the phone, The old thing about all of this is that I was 2 classes from getting my PhD in Art Therapy for abused and troubled teens, and I can't put it together why she has always treated me so awful. Doctor heal yourself
