Hi everyone, hope you all are doing well. I just wanted to let anyone out there that is a caretaker taking care of a loved one who are at end stage if you would like me to share my experience with you I would love to. When my dad was going through end stage Colon Cancer I had so many questions on what to expect, what are the signs of end of life, how will he feel, what can I do to help him and no one could really answer my questions. I have learned alot going through this and if any of you want to know what to expect when taking care of a loved one please dont hesitate to send a message to me. I know every patient is different. But some of the stuff I experienced you might too. Mindy

    Mindy -

    Talk about taking life's lemons and making margaritas! That's what this board is all about. Thank you for all you do.

    Cheers

    Thanks everyone, beleive it or not it is like therapy for me to talk about it. I like to talk about it out loud or I just keep seeing it in my head over and over and over again and it is making me a little crazy. So you see if I tell people the story it also helps me to. So please dont be afraid to ask me anything Im more than willing to share it with you. Mindy
