[JustBeingMe]

My uncle's Neuroblastoma brain cancer came back again. He was cancer free for 6 yrs until this last 6 month check up. He had surgery a few days ago, just got home from the hospital Tues. He's eating well, and walking around but his gait is not stable nor is the usage of his left hand and arm. His neurosurgeon was able to save his eyesight, otherwise he would have gone blind and would have NOT done the surgery. He is a very strong man and I love him with all my heart, but he is retired now because of this, otherwise he would still be working as a master carpenter. He's 70 now, and feels like he is worthless and I just try to remind him how much we all love him and that he has a 3 yr old great grand daughter that loves him soo much and that just being around to watch her blossom and grow is a blessing. I don't know what else to say to him. I feel lost when he says to me he feels useless and worthless and says he shouldn't have done the surgery that they should have just put him in the ground already. Breaks my heart to hear him speak like this. Anyone have any suggestions to help me when he is like this? I keep reminding him also that he is the only remaining cancer survivor his doctor has now for the past 6 yrs and how proud of him his doctors are of him. He does everything they tell him to do so he can get well and remain healthy. Thanks for listening to me babble on and on.
