Dear devastated.
My heart is breaking for you & your family. Cheerish every minute! I lost my Mom 2 months yesterday to CC. She got diagnosed in July. Time is precious. I spent every evening with my Mom when she got diagnosed. We are a close family, but this has only made a stronger family bond even more. God bless you and your family. Praying for a cure every day.

Dear Margaret.
So sorry to hear of your husband’s passing just recently. Your posts are so lovely. I just lost my Mom 2 months yesterday. We scattered some of her ashes yesterday in SC, one of her favorite places. We will be scattering some more in WI at a northern lake, Keyes Lake. Her Dad, my Grandpa, had a cottage on it. I still go there to enjoy the lake, though my Grandpa had to sell it in his later years. I am from WI, now residing in KY. I know how important deer hunting is to the men of WI. They say heaven is unbelievable and I am a believer it is. I’m sure he is hunting up there right now with other family members. There is a book, Heaven Is For Real, that is great. It is a near death experience of a 4 year old. It helped me a lot with my Mom’s passing. Heaven is real & every bit of wonderful as they say. Sounds like your husband gave a real good fight. Awesome how long he battled it. My Mom found out about CC in July & passed in September. All too quick for us. We had a family outing the night of her passing & burned a lot of her cancer stuff. My cousin took a photo of that night on his Iphone. He got a beautiful blue light up above us, Mom. I know it was. I knew she’s around us, but we had actual proof. Anyone reading this can go to my Facebook page (Pamela Gaska) and see that photo in my album, 1st photo click on. God bless you and your family during this difficult time. He is around you all the time & in a great place. Take care. Praying every day for a cure.

hi Marions. I do not the exact cause of her ascieties. Guess I need to find out. So much to learn while time is flying by!! So far learning from a lot of Drs. Her tumor is very large, so no operations or cryotherapies. Looking into diets while on chemo to hopefully shrink it down now.

I understand Christine, the thought of feeling helpless. My Mom has been recently diagnosed with cc. I feel like I’m running in place. She getting Gemzar at a local hospital. I know this is not the best treatment option. She was supposed to get cisplatin too, but her kidney level is not good enough to get that too. It was 1.6 & needed 1.5 or lower. I am just fustrated because time is flying by which she doesn’t have. Trying to search for surgeons & other options…Dr. Kato said no for operating. Talked to Dr. Kennedy’s office & they said prob. not a candidate for radiation therapy cause she ascertion (sp) liver fluid in her abdomen. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions out there?!
