I saw this last night and teared up to the point that I couldn't reply. I had to walk away. I am SOOO happy for you and your family. I hope and pray that this is the road to complete health for her. I hope you also had a nice drink to her health. Sounds like the BEST Christmas present you could have asked for. 2 hours ago, Why am I Mr. Pink? said: Yes, that was not my daughter.

It was such a touching picture, but I am so glad that it isn't your daughter (doesn't take away from the pain, but I'm glad your girl is healthy. Another thing to toast to this year. As for my wife, today she had her last surgery (to finalize her breast reconstruction). It went as well as could have been expected and she will be up and around in a couple days. She feels fine and the last blood test shows that the chemo was doing its job and she is in great shape. Thanks to all here for your thoughts and prayers. It will be an issue for the rest of her (long) life, but hopefully will always be something that she beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoCommiesGo Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 My father in law passed away Sunday from cancer. He was diagnosed on November 4th. He he lived with my wife and I. He was a good man. He went peacefully and quickly in the hospital. The nurses and techs that took care of him are special people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rictus58 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 While Not the level of Cancer others here have had to deal with, I had a melanoma removed in September this year. In July 2015, my wife noticed an odd mole on my neck/high shoulder area. Took me another year to get it looked at. I had one cancerous mole, and two pre-cancerous moles removed. So now I have two wicked scars, and I'll be seeing a dermatologist 4x a year for the next 3 years. Get those moles looked at folks. My mother also had a bout with Colon cancer earlier this year. One which left her near death after the surgery to remove it. Get those bum holes looked at if your in the high risk age category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoCommiesGo Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Thank you for that. His wife passed away three years ago this upcoming January. Timing was was so similar to her. Diagnosed in November and gone in January. I've never been with someone when they passed and I'm not religious but seeing the change in the body. It's hard to not believe in a soul or a spirit leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveakl Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 My wife made this video and showed it to me Friday night. It's long (21 minutes) but amazing. Watch some, skip to the end, whatever you want but I thought I would share what a year of cancer looks like. Not only for the child going through it, but for the family as well. The 14th of January is our sons birthday. It also is the same day we found out our middle daughter had a brain tumor. What we thought would be brain surgery, removal of the tumor, and then back to our normal lives (as if that itself is easy) turned into so much more. There were literally no symptoms leading to the discovery other then random intense headaches. This was completely out of the blue and blindsided our entire family of 6. https://www.kizoa.com/Movie-Maker/d83300744k8662858o1/abby---a-year-with-cancer-2016- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isle-hawg Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Yes it does. I have lost my Dad and my big Brother (technically my Uncle) to this and it is horrible. My Mother passed a few decades ago, due to another driver driving his car pile-driving my moms into a ditch. She died at a much too young age, and was more traumatic but looking at my own mortality that is a much better way to go than cancer. It is truly awful.

Passepartout Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Yeah as lost an aunt to it and my nephew and brother has defeated it. Really it is truly beyond horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSSkinz Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Well, I just spent the last 4 1/2 days in my cancer treatment facility (Moffitt Cancer Research Center) getting 24-7 chemo, this is my first treatment and they say I will do the same thing 5-6 more times which will be followed up by radiation. Pretty creepy but my wife stayed with me the whole time while the kids were at their aunt's house. So far just some nausea but I guess my cell counts will go way down over the next couple of days , at least it gets me a free pass to sit on my butt and watch March Madness.

Hersh Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I don't know if we are permitted to post this kind of thing, so I'll delete if need be, but I figure this may be the appropriate thread. I am taking part in a Make-A-Wish challenge in which we will hike 26 miles on May 20th. They want us to raise $2,500 but my goal is $10,000. All donations are appreciated. The link is in my signature should anyone feel so compelled to donate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
