They gave us so much hope, then the next day took him off chemo, and said it was too advanced. It had ravaged him. I saw him go from vital, to 100 pounds in such a short time, and 2 weeks later he was gone. 52 years young, 2 boys who adored him, and devastated parents, brothers and sisters.<br /><br />Maybe it is just death that sucks, because losing Marie to Lupus, was no easier, than Bobby, to cancer, but I do know that HOPE must reside within us still, and give us strength to fight, till no fight is left.<br /><br />Love and hugs to you. You are not a downer, you are a compassionate being, down on a VERY *down worthy* disease.Kimbernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891509161177362030.post-14629133623652589762011-06-06T19:40:54.243-04:002011-06-06T19:40:54.243-04:00Your post comes two days after finding out a co-wo...Your post comes two days after finding out a co-worker lost her battle with cancer. Tears are streaming...but they are tears that need to be shed.<br /><br />Cancer is scary and between friends, co-workers, my mom and my grandmother - cancer has surrounded me the past two years.<br /><br />(((HUGS)))Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03832214861973170475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891509161177362030.post-77794646079642862682011-06-06T19:23:45.117-04:002011-06-06T19:23:45.117-04:00Yes, cancer is scary.

I don't know the couple you're speaking of, Holly, but I am sending bunches of healing light and energy out into the universe for them. I can honestly say that once it touches you, you're never quite the same. Whether it's a family member, friend or yourself. Don't be sorry for bringing this subject to the table, ever.<br />Sending hugs, warmth and love to you...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
