    Things in common
    You are right Rene446 If it was not for this site I would be in real trouble. I try to take it one day at a time and slowly things are getting better. It is unfortunate that we all had to have such a terrible thing like Cancer in common. But having my friends on this site has made it bearable. If we all put our Thoughts and Prayers together I think some how we all can make a difference. Take care and thanks for your reply!

    So sorry...
    Mr. Sad,

    I am so sorry for your loss. You did everything right. After my dad died, we too questioned = should we have changed doctors, did we find out early enough. were there other treatments? You cannot beat yourself up for not addressing a cancer you or your wife didn't Dad died when he was ready and we did everything we could. The cancer took him - not the doctors, the care, or us.

    Cathy made it to Christmas. That was a wonderful gift for all of you. What a fighter.

    Take care -


    Duke's kid.

    Thanks for your reply. There have been many times I have felt the same way as you said. Did I do enough to keep her alive, Should I have put her on artificial nutrition, were there other doctors I should have contacted. God took my Cathy when he was ready. He gave her what she wanted, To have a Last christmas with her husband and boys. She had such a great smile on her face as she watched them open there presents on christmas day. I will never forget this past Christmas as long as I live. She is at peace now, with no suffering or pain. Take Care my friend.
