    I agree with Kathy B-your co-worker is a self absorbed b*%#@.
    Some people are just totally unaware of the world around them.

    Thank you Lainy and Susan, words of great wisdom, even though Lainy you thought you didn’t have any! I’ve read all you’ve written over the many months of Teddy’s illness and drawn great comfort from your posts.
    I answer OK to everyone also.
    And Susan, I love your last words.
    Peace to you both!

    I lost my beloved husband of 24 years last Monday evening, February 15th, at 10:47 pm. I am numb. Our service was on Saturday and my son delivered the most moving eulogy. He honored his father. My daughter was by my side, where she has been throughout these 20 months. She was my inspiration and her Dad’s nightly protein shake maker.
    We are heartbroken.
    Peace and Love to all.

    Thank you all, so very much, for your words of encouragement and your prayers. I knew I would find support and true understanding here. As you all have said, what we need now is strength, courage, and peace. I feel the prayers coming our way!

    This February, I am right where Carol was last February. I am watching my husband suffer, day by day, and struggle to hold on for his family. I am scared, but trying to keep everything together for my family.
    This feeling of helplessness is overwhelming. I am just watching him fade away. We are on Day 59 of Hospice. Carol’s description of limbo is exactly where I live-between “normal world” and “cancer world”.
    I have been told, too, how lucky we are to have extra time since his doctor was thinking, back in December, that he wouldn’t make it to Christmas. Lucky would not be the word I would use. I don’t want extra time, I want a lifetime.
    People try, but no one really understands. There are no words to describe it exactly. Only those who have walked this path can grasp the enormity of this cancer.
    We are having another snowstorm. The good thing? We are all home together, safe and warm.
    One day, one hour, one moment at a time.

    Hi Marions,
    I live about 20 minutes south of Philadelphia in New Jersey. Where can I find more information on the conference in October? My husband has CC, diagnosed in June, 2008. He is a patient at Fox Chase Cancer Center.
    I would like to attend or help at the booth for the foundation.
    I appreciate any information you can give me.
