Karen,
My girlfriend who passed on 11/16/07 went to several hospitals in the
Camden/Philly area. The experience found Dr. Alfant in Cooper to be
excellant in stent placement through ERCP, and percutaneous procedures
Julio C. Otazo, M.D. was great in setting up her drain ports
and had a compassionate caring and positive bed sid manner.
Over at HUP Dr. Drebin is a star at removing these types of tumors,
but sadly her disease had been too far progressed for resection.
She was diagnosed in July.
My prayers are with you as your husband battles this insidious disease.Yesterday morning at 8:30AM my beautifull Angel, Lee entered into the next life after only a 4 1/2 month battle
with this cruel and insidious disease. As any of us that have had to deal with the grim realities of this terrible
cancer know that the quality of life diminishes so dramatically once the tumors have progressed. She was
alert, caring toward those who loved her and positive right up to her last breath. She never showed anger
or resentment about her situation, didn’t expect pity and was cognizant of everyone’s feelings as she
gave a masterfull discourse on courage, class, and dignity.
I will miss her beauty, style and elegance. She had been an accomplished dancer so the subtle grace of her
every movement will be forever etched in my mind.
There will be a memorial service for her tomorrow where she will be laid out on the farm she loved in a meadow
with a natural four poster bed that is being built as we speak. This was her wish and it is a further testominal
to her natural spirit, whose purity couldn’t help but be attractive to everyone that knew and loved her.
I don’t know why God chose to bring her home now, but I do know that in the short time that I got to know
her and love her that now I have a greater understanding of what that heaven that she is in, looks and feels
like.
