Dear Jeanne -

I am so sorry for your friend.  What a terrible outcome for her and her poor husband.  My husband had been in the hospital in November, 2009; they had done scopes and scans and they didn't find his rectal cancer until the next January, and then it by "accident;" his doctor did a scope and some tissue just happened to come out with the scope, so he sent it to pathology and it was, sure enough, cancer.  Your friends doctors maybe looking at malpractice if it turns out he did have cancer; but then, ask any other doctor, and they will say "sometimes it's hard to find..."  Bah.  I don't believe it that's hard to miss, especially with the symptoms you described!  Okay, so that's my venting for the day.  I'm so sorry for your friend and for your loss, too, and glad you at least have each other.

It is a very sad day here. I got a call from my best friend at 7 am and as soon as the phone rang I knew. Her husband woke up feeling dizzy and scared, clamy etc. He had lost 60 lbs since Christmas and been in and out of the hospital 5 times with severe stomach pains. They did many scans and other tests and sent him home saying that there was nothing wrong with him. Well I guess they were wrong. He died on the floor of their living room. I have spent my day with her so distraught. The doctors want to call it a heart attack but I spoke to the medical examiner and said no we want an autopsy. He was scheduled for a doppler and endescopy today and never got there. They have ordered an autopsy at her expense but they will not put down heart attack unless someone does what should have been done and really look for a cause. 60 lbs in less than a month, I would bet stomach or pancreatic cancer. If she doesn;t find out she will always wonder what really happened. Another 60 year old widow. I can't believe we lost our husbands a year apart. Been friends for 50 years. At least we will have each other to console each other. To be continued....

I haven't been on here in months, Daddy passed in August, and my birthday and Christmas were very hard on me. My Dad was always the first to call and wish me happy birthday, and it was truly awful to sit there and stare at my phone knowing he wouldn't be calling. The kids had a good Christmas, and I have been putting on my brave face these few months that have gone by. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow to talk to her about depression. I don't want to get out of bed, or play with the kids, I have trouble sleeping, and the headaches are excruciating. I try so hard to be happy and to try to get over this slump in my emotions, but it's not going away. It's comforting but sad to see all of you going through this as well, comforting because I don't feel alone, but I know the sadness you all have inside. I promise to try to be more involved here, it was too hard for me to do so until now. I like helping others to understand and overcome some of their grief and pain. If any of you just need an ear, friend request me if you like. Praying for all of your hearts to heal, you are not alone. -Stacy

Hello Friends...here we are again talking about that murderer cancer. I am reading all of the posts - old friends and new ones. Our hearts remain so broken. Yesterday I was at the beach and saw a woman sitting in a car watching the sunset and she looked just like my mom. It startled me and then I was so overcome with saddness, missing her so much. She was sitting in the car with an elderly man - her husband..maybe father. I thought...God help them get through what we all have to get through. Their day is coming when they will be saying goodbye. Mercy...you are strong. You have given me some of the best advice of my life. Nuture the seed God has given to you. You know what I am talking about. You have a gift. Please start looking for answers as to why you are still here. I have been guided by God. There is no death. Remove it from your vocabulary. You have to find answers on your own. Open yourselves up to the possibilities. Every day...my world is so empty with my mom. BUT I am greatful she is in such a magical, beautiful, loving and God filled place. Our loved ones are the lucky ones.

Love Sue

Thank you Cynthia. I’ve had a very challenging situation the last four days and I didn’t even think I could come to this site and be coherent. It’s good that you took note of my words. You are so very kind and I think of you very highly and appreciate that you are always there.

Mercy.
