It is with a broken heart that I bring you the news that Deb1969 passed away last Saturday. She has not been on the boards for awhile but she started over 2 years ago. Her story is similar to mine. We were diagnosed about the same time with similar cancer, we both went into remission, and then we both had a reoccurance which spread to our liver. We kept in touch via private message. Her daughter sent me a message tonight to let me know. I will tell you what I know about her. Deb was only 40 years old, she was a nurse until her diagnosis, she lost her job since she was unable to work. She was married with a daughter who is going to have her first baby in February. Deb told me that this was her reason to fight. Her family loved her and were so worried about her. She had a hysterectomy in the spring where it was found that the cancer had spread to her liver. She was trying to get well enough to go on chemo, then they found brain mets. She kept fighting! She had cyber knife and was waiting to go on chemo again, however, she became too weak and her liver started to fail, she went into hospice and passed within a couple of days. This was unexpected since she was fighting so hard, and the end came too fast (doesn't it always). Her daughter told me that she fought so hard to see her first grandchild and that she so proud of her mama. I will miss her as a friend. So please stop and say some prayers for Deb and her family.

    I am lighting a candle for Deb and for you dear Meena. It is so hard to lose someone that we care for and to lose a sister who is in such a similar fight is doubly tough. You inspire me with her determination and the fact that throughout your battle you have managed to maintain a sense of humor and a drive that I pray will take you years and years into remission. So my prayers tonight send a special blessing to a lost friend and a friend who is fighting the hard fight.

    Thank you, fauxma. Deb's
    Thank you, fauxma. Deb's last message to me was on Sept 14. She told me that she was feeling better and was getting stronger, she was still waiting to go on chemo. She had so much fight in her! Thank you for your prayers. I am still in chemo, so now i will be thankful that I am well enough to get chemo and I will remember Deb as a sister and as a friend. Love Meena

    I miss her
    Deb and I joined CSN at about the same time, and she was always there to offer her support and advice whenever I needed it. I miss her, and am so sad that cancer took so much so quickly from her and her family.

    This is very sad news Meena.
    This is very sad news Meena. Deb was obviously a very special, and brave lady. Only 40 years old and she had to suffer so. Heartbreaking. She and her family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
