[b]Let me start by introducing myself, my name is Jen. I am 28 y/o, I met the love of my life when I was 16 y/o his name is Joey. We were together for a few years (we were so young , things didn't work out) we went our separate ways and did our own things. I married (settled) for my husband because it was the closest I could make myself feel compaired to Joey. I thought about Joey everyday for 8 years. December 6th of last year we re-connected. We talked everyday until I could move back here to Louisiana to be with him. This is the most happy I have been in my life and everything is SO PERFECT........ except for the fact he has PC He was diagnosed right befor KATRINA (we are from Louisiana). I try SO HARD just not to think about it. It usually hits me when we are in bed and I am holding him looking at the back of his head and sholder, I start to think just how unfair it is that I will not be able to hold him forever and one day he will not be here. Joey and I haven't really had a serious talk about his PC. My moms a nurse and sometimes he talks about things in front of me but usually I get up and leave the room because it is upsetting and I don't don't want to get upset infront of him. But mostly if we are going to actually talk about it I want it to be just me and him (instead of it being just so matter of fact). I have decided to come here and share my story because really I don't have anyone to talk about this with. I could talk to my mom..... but I really don't want her to know just how much this is breaking my heart and I need her to think I am strong. Because she has said from the begining she did n't want to loose "ME" in this process. So.... he says there is some test they run (he calls a cancer test) which I am sure that is not what it is called ....... was 87 and is now 43????? Does anyone know what this is????? Both WBC and RBC are both good. Joey is 28 and he really doesn't understand any of what the DR tells him (I don't know if he cares to really). This is my short introduction. And I am happy to have a place where I can gain knowlege about this horriable thing we have to go through...... the patient and especially those who are faced with being in this world without them.

jenjoey,
I'm sorry to hear your story and how difficult of a time this has been for you. I hope this forum can provide some comfort and knowledge. Regarding the test, could you give more details on the name of this blood test.
