my heart goes out to.
I've lost a lot of family to the "C". My uncle died of a brain tumour they found when they were giving him routine sinus work. They operated, but it came back and he died six weeks later. It was a hard way to go. My grandmother had what is now known as total body cancer (the tumours had spread ALL over her body, I won't get any more graphic than that). She died soon after the op to see how bad it was, the tumours spread even more quickly and there was nothing they could do. They are both in a much better, happier place now. They can see us and watch over us (along with the rest of my family who've "passed on") and I think they're robably doin okay! It's us that are left that feel the pain, the hurt and the loss. I DON'T believe that time is a great healer. But I DO believe that it makes the pain easier to deal with.
Just my take for what it's worth.
Take care and God bless (to you both),
Tracy
