The type of cancer my aunt has is very aggressive...she only has a few days. I rushed down there yesterday when I got the news. They have her on dilllaudine, fentinayl and morphine....of course she is out of it. You can barely wake her and I am not sure she recognizes you. She is in horrendous pain when the meds wear off. She can have pain meds as needed.
I was thinking while I was on my way down there how young she is. 61. Almost at retirement at. She's worked hard her whole life.
Dh made it home yesterday. He starts his chemo pills today. This ordeal with my aunt is effecting him. I think he is really worried that he is doing this for nothing and his will come back as well.
It was really really hard seeing my aunt like that yesterday. Memories just flood me of my dad and my grandparents. I feel like I am drowning in cancer.
The family has been called in. My youngest cousin...my aunts youngest daughter is acting happy go lucky, doesn't speak to her mother, care for her in any way or anything. I'm blown away! She always has been a selfish person but she is really showing her true colors now....and is already wanting to order the casket and argue with her sister about where the funeral is to be held. Everyone but her wants it held in my aunts home town. She wants it held in her home town because her husband works at the funeral home there. She got her way too because she threw money in and got a discount. Sickening!
I hate behavior like this when someone dies...I could tell you much more but I would be boring you...endless to say it is very ugly. It is a shame.
I just pray my aunts pain is managed during her last days and she does not suffer!

89FToday it is again another hot day but cooler then yesterday. Since this is August it is to be expected in my neck of the woods. All the grass is yellow and flowers are starting to go to seed. I need to water my garden but this time of the year I'm so over it, which is weird because all my plants have their fruit or veggies.Sandra, this time of year reminds me of your Dad and his toms. We'd...

I have a dear friend whose in for her second round of chemo.
She. Gas carcinoma soft tissue cancer. Does not look good. She's 63, young.
Prayers for he and her boys, hubby.
Everyone knows someone who has had it. Its totally not common in my family for illnesses, diabetes and heart trouble mainly, but my sister had it on her nose, thankfully it was removed and thankfully she is left with just a small scar.
There's no doubt that once youve had it, your naturally going to think of its return, i'm sure thats a natural reaction.
I wonder how many pple just die of old age now compared to years ago?
Whatever we end up dying of, hopefully like you say we dont suffer and its with dignity.
My thoughts and prayers .....
i'm with empathy in wondering about what our world is doing to us. we hear of cancer far too often. i don't think you can meet a person any more who hasn't been affected by it.
I too think all the chemicals in our food is really bad for us. My aunt was a heavy smoker....I am sure that is what caused her cancer.
I am mazed the government hasn't banned cigarettes from the market. It amazes me that people still smoke them as expensive as they are. I know it's hard to stop....but here is the thing that blows my mind"..I will see people get out of their cars at Walmart, light one up, smoke two puffs of it on the way to the door and then throw it to the ground as they go in the door.
Maybe I am just that cheap LOL
I just hate to see anyone smoke...I've seen too much lung cancer. And I wish it wasn't so darn hard to quit the darn things.
