Barbara,
So very sorry for your loss. I too am thankful my mom didn't have to suffer for an extended amount of time. My mom was going to the doctor alot they just did a bone scan and got the results the morning my mothers femur snapped. With those types of Cancers its so hard to know they have it...my mom had just had a colonoscaphy done 3 yrs ago.. and when they went in again they only found 1 cancerous pallup. it angers me to know it spread all over her body even her bones and they couldn't tell till it was too late. I don't think I will ever get over the shock of how fast she declined from being my fun caring loving mother to just sleeping and being in pain in just 3 weeks. I miss her so much. I hope time will heal some of this pain we carry heavy in our hearts
Big hugs to you,
Melissa

Barbara,
We have alot in common. Our husbands both died of cancer just 2 months after the diagnosis. I don't know how bad it got for you in those two months, but I imagine it was very similiar to what happened here and that was like riding an out of control freight train going off a mountain. I am really sorry for your loss, and I understand.
