    I remember when my wife was going thru chemo. Rough times made even harder because I still had to go to the boat so my daughter who was only ten at the time really stepped up and pretty much had to take care of mom and herself when I was away.

    yup, i know 1st hand up close and personal how cancer sucks as i was my girlfriends cartetaker for several months at home till i couldnt take care of her anymore and hospice put her in a nursing home where she was a few months before she passed, she had brst cancer that was taken off in 93 and did great till it came back in 96 and wasnt long she was gone. sure seems like more and more people aer getting it nowadays, guess you cant pollute everything into the food and air etc, and not get something, idk

    my brother had a appointment today and my sister got an email from his wife>

    Charlie got bad news today, he will not be going back to work, his Dr, put him on 100% disability and he has stage 4 cancer. He may only have a few more months or a couple of years left. Needless to say we are upset. Now we have to deal with the social security dept. to start his disability.

    Prayers going out for everybody

    I am saddened to read this thread. I read once that without death, life has no meaning. That doesn't make it any easier. My wife has a childhood friend with stage 4 cancer with weeks/months to live. Diagnosed at age 39.

    I see many people that post to this forum who, by their example, seem to understand that none of us have any guarantees that we will wake up tomorrow...and it reminds me to live life to its fullest.

    My prayers go out to your family.

    had a pre-mothers day brunch at moms nursing home yesterday and my brother was a no show, his wife said he was jus to weak to make it and that the chemo pills were the only thing keeping him alive, ( not sure how that is ? ) but was really hoping he would be there as it was probably the last chance we would see him alive, but i gotta respect what he choses to do in his final days/weeks/months/ years on this earth!
