I have been away for awhile and came back home to read alot of the new postings. Many of us know what you are going thru as the EC patient and the caregiver. Sherry and I both lost our husbands this past February. It has been a long 8 months. I know I can speak for both of us and tell all of you this is not a journey ANYONE wants to go on. Its a rollercoaster ride that doesn't stop. BUT there are some really good success stories. For those of you that beat this beast you are amazing. and your caregivers are fabulous people who really have put their heart and soul into you and caring for you.

For the Stage 4's. WOW I have never in my life met a more determined bunch of people. Day after day week after week you still go on . You make my heart sing at times with all of your gumption. I feel so blessed to be a part of this EC group. I gotta hand it to Vince, Jim, Neal and all the others who have passed away. You are in God's arms now and he is caring for you. Chemosmoker, Lee in London and the rest of you I applaud you and your beautiful families. Please know how much we all care and respect you. I guess thats my word for you. I RESPECT all of you so much.


Love

Barbara

    I am glad you are back. I will PM you.
    That was a very nice post. You have a way with words. May Jim Vince an Neal rest in peace. I KNOW they are watching over you, as I will be Michelle.

    Thank you Eric and Michele . I know you and Lee will be right on each others Butts all the time. You please check on our men for us. Hopefully that will not be for a long time tho. I want Vince to know how much I love him and miss him.

    Indeed, a gritty bunch. AND there's some success stories, too! How I wish it could be that way for all..
