in Esophageal Cancer #1
I have not posted in such a long time and I am sorry.
After losing Vince in February I have been dealing with the care taking of my mom. She is almost 91 and lives with me. She is in fairly good health, except for the pre-cancer on her vocal cords. It seems like every day I am taking her to the drs for something tho. I guess at that age all things seem to fail. Next week she will be going for catarac surgury. One eye at a time. I see so many new posts on here that it is a bit overwhelming.

I think I mentioned that I have joined an online group for EC widows called the Mourning Dawns. They are a wonderful group of ladies. This week we just welcomed 4 more widows into the group. Its very sad. This EC is quite cruel as you all know. I also have been attending an online group discussion once a month with Bart Frazitta and his wife Ginny. They are with fightec.org This is another great organization. If anyone wiould like any info on these 2 groups please let me know and I will see if I can help.

I hope things get better for all of us touched with this cancer.


May God hold all of you in the palm of his hand.

Love

barbara

    hello
    Sorry for your loss...I wish you and your mother the best. At 91 Iam sure your mom has a lot of great stories! Good luck with her surgery

    Thanks for posting about these two groups. I'd love more info on the Fightec.org from your point of view. I know I can go there by the internet, but you may have some more to add?
    Take care,

    Thank you so much for the post. I am sad still but every once in awhile a glimmer of hope comes thru when I see someone get past this awful disease and start doing well like your Jim.

    Love
