Sara, sorry for your loss and I couldn't agree more.  Cancer has to be cured so no more family members or the cancer patients themselves have to go through such torture.  My husband only lived 2 months after his diagnosis of metasistisized melanoma.  It was a whirlwind of pain, fear, just a world of hurt. The cancer had obviously been growing in him for a year or two without symptoms so when he had a symptom, a blood clot in his lung, it was very advanced.  In a way Im glad he didnt have to suffer any longer than those 2 months even though it was horrible to loss him so fast.  Cancer can be a nasty nasty thing and I sure hope I live long enough to see it come to an end.

Sara you have people to turn to now, here.  I find it soothing to come here and read that others are getting through the same things  I am struggling with.  It gives me hope I will make it to month 5, 6, a year, 2 years, 5 years.  When you have noone around you in real life that has been through it and you feel alone as I was I couldnt see how I was going to make it to tomorrow!!  Im sorry to have to welcome you to this group, but Im glad you found it too!
