my husband passed from lung cancer. when I first met him 6 years ago, he told me he was dying, but I did not believe him because he appeared to be so robust and healthy. after that I moved in with him and we had a fabulous 2 1/2 years together and then married in june in our backyard. in October he was formally diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. it was devastating for both of us. since he was an alcoholic, I had always been the adult in the relationship and after the diagnosis it just became 10 fold the responsibility. my life was falling apart in front of my face as legal, financial and medical issues continually arose. it was extremely difficult for me to hang on....all the while he was getting more and more hateful towards me with every passing day as his death grew nearer. the hospice care was horrific. he finally passed away in april 3 years ago. I miss the good times so desperately in spite of the abuse he heaped on me with all the other stresses such as where am I going to live after he dies; will I be able to support myself without his income; will he leave me the house; does he have life insurance or a pension plan etc. the time between his diagnosis, chemotherapy and radiation and his death was just6 months. it was a living hell but I will always miss him and cherish the few years of happiness god let us share,

My dad died from bladder cancer. I cant go into much detail because it is very hard for me to talk about.

Cancer SUXXXXX. Hope you're doing OK with yours, ccool, and have done some research into nutrition as an alternative or an adjunct to chemo and radiation. We all know garlic, ginger, curry, wasabi, other spices, all burn up tumors by passing through the capillaries of the intestinal lining into the bloodstream. Broccoli and califlower, who knew?

ccool, my wife died from breast cancer. Inside of 6 months from diagnosis to her passing. She developed an allergy to the chemo which made it worse. It spread to her lungs and was on a ventilator for the last 27 days of her life. Knowing how it affected her I would not choose chemo for me. I believe it shortened her life. You however have to what you think is best for you.....

My father-in-law was diagnosed with lung cancer in September 2011. He was given a year, maybe 2 with treatment. He went through chemo, which was only meant to keep the cancer from spreading. It did do that, for awhile, but eventually, he ran out of treatment options. He then went on hospice, but the nurse came to his house.
He was able to maintain some level of activity throughout most of his illness. There was a lot he could no longer do, like yard work, so my husband and his brothers helped out.
When my FIL went down hill, it happened quickly. He spent his last few days in a hospital bed at their house. His last night was a horrible one. My husband was there, helping his mom care for Dad, and my poor FIL had such intense pain that the morphine barely took the edge off. The next day, my husband asked me to pick up a few things from the pharmacy. When I brought them over to the house, a hospice nurse was at the house helping make arrangements to move my FIL to the hospice facility. I saw my FIL for the last time. He looked awful...not at all like the man I had known. I said a prayer and whispered, "I love you," to him. I wasn't back home for 20 minutes when my husband called to say that his dad had died.
The news brought me a sense of relief, knowing that my FIL was no longer suffering, but I also felt a huge wave of sadness. I wasn't super close to my FIL, but he was someone I respected and he was my husband's father and beloved grandpa to my kids. It has been a little more than 2 years now since he died and I still think of him often. It was horrible watching him slowly wither away.
