| I am heartbroken! Well my stepfather has been in intensive care for 15 days now. We just found out today that he has bone marrow cancer.It is terminal and nothing else can be done. His red blood cell count is very low and decreasing rapidly. My mother is disabled and this is tearing up the whole family. He went into the hospital with vomiting and diarrhea and ends up with terminal cancer. I have been making arrangements for hospice and practically just got home. I am in a state of shock, it feels like it is a nightmare.

| My mom died from a type of inoperable cancer, so just know that you are not alone. You are in my prayers. Just take each day one step at a time and know that the hurt will ease up with time. Let grief takes its course and Jesus will bring you out the other side a much stronger person. Oh... and puppy kisses???? They are some of the best therapy! So get lots! Hang in there, girl. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

| I lost my mom and my baby sister to breast cancer. I wish they would come up with cure. I just hate that disease and what it does to people! The only thing I think is a blessing is that at least you have the opportunity to say and do the things you need to do or have always wanted to do. Although I still think I was left with some things I wish I had still done. But I was able to say good bye and I love you and things like that. My sister was told on a Friday that there was nothing more the doctors could do and that she did not have a lot of time. She was gone the following Thursday but during that week, my siblings and I never left her without at least one of us. Many friends and neighbors came to say good bye and offer whatever they could. It was one of the most beautiful but sad things I think I have ever experienced. I know how much of a shock it must be. Even a year later, I still look back on that week and it all seems like such a nightmare and I constantly dream that she is back with us and we still have hope. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I wish I could give you some magical answer but I just don't have one for you. All I can say is draw on the comfort of those that love you and find comfort in that. Theresa |

| What a horrible thing to be hit with. I am so sorry. I lost both of my parents and several relatives to cancer. It is devastating, both to the patient and to the family. We are all here for you. I'll keep you, your stepdad and family in my thoughts and prayers.
