Hi,
Some of you may remember me mentioning my brave friend with Stage IV colon cancer, her name was Mary Ann and she went home to God this month. She was such a big inspiration to me, she never gave up and even with mets to the liver and lungs, she was getting 5 FU every other week and she was not giving in. She thought she still had another year at least. A nurse, a teacher and happy person. When she answered the phone even if she had just been thru hell, you would never know it. She had this cancer 7 yrs, 4 yrs of remission the rest spent fighting it. We had many a phone call comparing chemo and insurance problems and she was single while I was lucky enough to have my Ron here, but Mary Ann had many friends and neighbors who helped her. At one time, when they found it recurred, they opened her up and just poured the chemo drugs into her abdomen. Boy, am I going to miss her but she is in heaven finally out of suffering. Someone said heaven will be a happier place with her there.
Prayers always,
Donna70

    Dear Donna,
    So sorry for the loss of your friend. Heaven will be a much happier place now that she and my dad are there! They are both at peace, and no longer have to fight this horrible disease. My prayers go out to you and her family at this time. I share in your grief.
