Paul-Sad News

As many of you know Paul went into Hospice care last month. I am sad to say that he died last month after about three weeks in Hospice. I started to post this several times, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I have read too many posts like this and I know that each battle lost to this cancer affects all of us here on this site. I don't want to bring sad news, but I also owe this group a lot, and I don't want to just disappear. The Hospice care was good, and as much as I hated being in that situation, it was the best for all of us. In the end it was the chemo that caused so much damage to his liver, and resulted in liver failure. There is some small part of me that is glad that the cancer did not win in the end (yes, I realize how ridiculous this sounds) Being in Hospice for Paul did not mean giving up. He never gave up fighting for each day that was given him. There was no pain, his body just gave out.
I hope you know what a support this group has been to me, and that I am here cheering you on and celebrating the successes, I pray that there are many more.

I know it has been so hard for you & Paul. We all feel for you now. I am still so sad every time there is sad news on this site---but know that we have found such friendship here (csn) that gives so much hope and support to caregivers, patients & families alike. I am sorry you had to "hold" on to this news for so long---but I know what you mean --not wanting to post at this time...
I think you would be a great help to new people on this board. thanks for updating us--and we are so sorry...

My deepest sympathiesunknown said:This comment has been removed by the Moderator
Susan I am so sorry to here that Paul is no longer with us. I know that you understand that he is in a better place. I also understand about the fact that the cancer did not kill him it was the chemo that poisoned his liver. That was exactly how it happened with Al.
I also understand the difficulty in posting at this time. It has been almost 2 mos since Al's passing and I still find it very difficult.
Please know that we are all here for you when ever you need us. I don't know what I would do without my CSN family.
Again please take comfort in knowing that he wasn't in pain. I am truely sorry for your loss.
May God Bless and keep you in your time of need.
With deepest sympathy.

My Sympathies
Dear Susan,
May the many words of sympathy comfort you and your family at this time. I too lost a loved one, my dad, on 3/9. He beat the ec and then got mets to his liver. I would like to also think that his body just gave up, and that the cancer did not win. I do know that he went peacefully at home, which was one of his wishes. Now they can both be at peace, no pain, no more suffering. May they now both meet in eternity. Bless you and your family.
