Sad Announcement

My husband was diagnosed in Dec. 2015. He was determine to be a survisor and fought with all his might. Each time he got chemo, his WBC count went down the following week. He was given Nupergen shots and count rose. He finished his first session he had some kidney complications and ended up in the hospital. Treatmen continued and he finished chemo on Good Friday, Mar.25. Also had 4 more radiation treatments.

He went for his weekly blood test and got a shot. He also received a blood transfusion on Satruday, Apr. 2. The next day he had shortest of breath and wasa taken to the hospital. He left us on Monday, April 4. 

I am in disbelief and at a lost as to why this happened so quickly. My thoughts are it was to spare him for more pain and confinement, which I know he would never want.

Rest in Peace, Harry.

I am so sorry for your loss. Cancer is such an evil thing and sometimes it wins despite our best efforts. You and Harry were courageous to fight it. I pray that you find comfort in the weeks ahead.

Your family is in my prayers. It seems so unfair for your husband to have gone through all the treatments and then lose the battle. You were a wonderful support for him and can take comfort in that.

Words can't express my sorrow.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you, and your family. There are no words that will explain the why, but he fought so hard and I know how proud you are of him. This might just be so he would not suffer and be in pain. Relay on all your good memories as that is something nothing can ever take from you. I wish there was just something I could say to help.

Thank you

We were only members since December 2105. I first went on this board for information and I found a loving, caring group who immediately accepted us and offered their expertise for our benefit. From giving tips as to what questions to ask doctors to ideas as treatment continues, the members of this board help me tremendously. I just want to thank everyone for welcoming and now for offering care and conern. When this journey started, I never thought it would end so abruptly. 

I felt sure that I would belong here for many a years. I will always remember the kindness shown to me and Harry and will keep all of you in my prayers that you stay strong Harry's wish was to get to NED. He would never post but encouraged me to ask questions and seek suggestions and ideas.

Everyone here was always so willing to help. You have enriched my life and I will never forget. I will continue to visit here and read the post. Wishing you warmth and health.

I am your Irishlass!!!
