Lost a good friend, I never met
Last night when I went on Facebook, I saw a message from Glenna Ross's daughter saying that she had passed away. The tears immediately started running down my face. Although we never met, she has been such a support for me since my husband, Tom passed away 2 years ago. She was fighting her battle with lung cancer, but yet…
New mom without a mom
My mom passed away this past Saturday morning, 7/21. She was diagnosed back in March, had surgery in April to remove the mass in her throat, and was given 6 weeks to recover so we could start radiation, but she never recovered. Everything that could have went wrong did. Pneumonia, strokes, cardiac arrest... All of this…

My Wife
My wife Susan was diagnosed 6 years ago with 1b1 while she was pregnant with our second child. After she was born my wife had a radical hysterectomy. The oncologist said pathology showed no activity in any of the many lymph nodes he removed and she had a 90 percent chance of survival. Three years later, she was feeling…
Broken hearted
Hello. I don't know the purpose of posting here....maybe to vent, maybe to sort out my feelings, maybe a safe place to pour out my pain and sorrow? I used to post a lot in the brain tumor forum but since this is cancer SURVIVORS network, I feel that I shouldn't damage people's fragile hope by crying all over that forum. My…
losing a father at 18 years old
My father passed away from lung cancer early Sunday morning, July, 15. He fought the strongest battle he could for 10 months before he passed away from tumor complications. The cancer had metastasized to his brain last month. In the past month, he also suffered from swallowing problems to the extent of them putting in a…
Changes
Hi - been posting here on and off for a number of years, when my wife was ill and after she died, two years this July 29th. Not sure if this is where to post this but can't think of any other venue at the moment. I was married for 32 years before I lost my wife. She was ill for almost 3 years before she died of her cancer…
I'm only 24...I still need my mom
On April 28, 2012 my beautiful mom lost her 2 year battle with Pancreatic Cancer. After taking a year off of school and moving home to help take care of her we were told that she had gone into remission. My mom pushed me to go back to school. That fall I learned that her cancer came back. Just a few months later I was…
How do I deal
How do I deal with losing my best friend to cancer after I have survived it?? I have survivors guilt and don't know how to deal with it.
I'm Not Angry
...I'M MAD AS HELL ! ! ! ! ! Life has become nothing more than a zombie existence. Try as I might to go about living like she would want me to, I cannot stop thinking of how wrong it is that she died so young. Drunks survive horrendous accidents, drug dealers survive multiple gunshots, overdoses, etc, etc. No, I'm not…
