Master  1563    Chicago |  Subject: Cancer Sucks!I am turning to my BT family in my hour of sadness... I found out back in August, that my brother's mother in law has stage 4 pancreatic cancer, and they pretty much gave her less than 6 months to live... I got home from a VERY late night at the office, (and once again, no workout), to find an e-mail saying that they were moving her to hospice tonight...the pain was so bad, she never made it for her 2nd round of Chemo...she developed blood clots in her legs, and wasn't able to eat, or get up and walk around, so the doctor said there's pretty much nothing else they can do because the Cancer is so advanced, except try to ease her pain, with morphine no less. Bonnie is a terrific woman...she was there for my brother and all of us Noie children when we lost our own mom 10 years ago to CLL(Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia)/Lymphoma...those were some really tough, really dark days, and here we are again. The really sad part of it all is, I have a 12 (birthday is tomorrow) year old nephew, and an almost 2 year old niece who absolutely adore their Grandma, and the 12 year old is so sad...I feel like no matter what I say, it's the wrong thing...and that makes me feel even worse than I already do for the impending loss of Bonnie. Please keep us in your prayers....and thanks for being there when I need you most! Edited by miami9296 2008-10-15 10:30 PM |

Master 2278 State of Confusion | Subject: RE: Cancer Sucks! So sorry that you and your family are going through this. Cancer surely sucks! I lost my dad last year to lymphoma, and my brother-in-law is in the end stages of liver cancer. My best friend from college started chemo for breast cancer Monday. Too much cancer going around! Prayers for you and your family! |

Expert 1083 The Woodlands, TX | Subject: RE: Cancer Sucks! I am so sorry. Pancreatic cancer is one of the worst types. I hope her time in hospice is comfortable and that they can keep her pain under control so she can enjoy the rest of the time she has with her friends and family. |

| Master 1728 portland, or | Subject: RE: Cancer Sucks! Sorry to hear this. Pancreatic cancer is one of the worst cancers there is. My GF's father was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer in August as well. In his case he has a rare form that isn't as aggressive as the typical version that your brother's MIL has. They're giving him 1-2 years. I wish the best for your brother's family. Peace. scott |

Arch-Bishop of BT 10278 Pittsburgh | Subject: RE: Cancer Sucks! Word... total suckage. you are all in my prayers. As to the kids... there really is nothing you can say. Just be there with them and when they are ready to start talking... listen. And you don't need to answer everything for them... "I don't know" is acceptable. Peace. |

| Expert 1158 Chicagoland | Subject: RE: Cancer Sucks! So sorry to hear of your loss. 20 years ago I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer during final exams and two years I lost my mom to breast and brain cancer. Cancer is a nasty fellow who should be kicked to the curb. Sending you good and peaceful vibes!!!!! |
