Thanks, everyone, for your kindness and support. I miss Mother each day and know that some good will come of her ICC and death….My brother is donating a portion of his clothing sales to The Michael J Fox Foundation in honor of my Dad….and will donate a portion to this foundation in honor of my Mom….(in honor – not memory! )
I would also like to honor her by helping in some small way with the work of the foundation….ideas welcomed!
Thanks, again…..for your love and for being here.

Dear Patti….
What an honor it has been for me to read about your incredible brother! Your love for him is a testament to his bravery and I am sure that same love helped him to maintain joy in his struggle.
Bless you for sharing his life with us here….Prayers for you and all his family as you grieve.

Hi , Laura….greetings from Virginia!

Dear Jen….
I am so sorry to hear the news abvout your dad….shock, confusion….I get all of that…My dad died from a different cancer 6 weeks after diagnosis and I felt much the same way. Time has a way of healing the disbelief and softenig the shock.
My Mom was diagnosed with intrahepatic about the same time as your dad….and I , too, have been asking myself many of the same questions….what did I miss? Should I have seen something? The more I research and read on this wonderful board has helped dispell many of my ‘woulda, shoulda. coulda’s”….This cancer is a creeper.
What it HAS done, for me, is increased my awareness….and made me inteested in increasing awareness…
Hope that you will find some peace and solace in your grief about a good man taken too soon.
Love and prayers.

Lainey….she is also vain….and that is OK by me, if it helps!
Found out yesterday that she has a difficult strain of C diff, brought on by antibiotics and excacerbated by the chemo…..two new meds….she is wped out, but managed to sit in a chair for 30 mins today….
I have left to get my youngest daughter back to school and a ever grateful that my brother from Atlanta is able to be with her….
He told her he would wheel her down the hall to see the sunlight…..she insisted that he buy her a new robe first!
And Lainey……she ‘heard’ him today when he talked about being ‘disconcerted’ about the tumore growth…..she said….well, I’m just a big old sack of protoplasm…let’s just get through this hump and see what we can do!
She will surprise me…no matter WHAT!
Thanks for you encoragement
Mother still in CCU step down and feeling stronger today….2 blood transfusions helped her ‘pink up’ a little…and a good hairbrush, nice lotion and some red lipstick helped even more….nothing like looking better to make you feel better:)
Her oncologist came by….he is a lovely man….she adores him…he saw her through stage 4 lung cancer 7 yrs ago and my grandmother with leukemia and started my Dad on his journey with anaplastic thyroid cancer….thye are old buddies and he pulled up a chair and talked politics and joked for a long while this afternoon….she had fun!
Have been looking at diagnosis stats…we ARE a rare bunch, aren’t we? I am ready to get on board with increaing awareness!
