This morning my mom passed away. It is the worst day of my life. It just does not seem real. Two weeks ago we were planning a family trip and within days her liver started to give out. Thank you for all of your help and support over the last months. You helped us both out a lot. I so wish you could have known my mom. She was the best mom ever and a very special person. Peace and health be with you all. Liz |

Liz, I'm so sorry about your mom. My 46 yr old sister had the same thing happen last October. She had been dealing with her bc & mets for almost three years and was actually fairly stable progression-wise so long as she stayed on chemo, but then the day after an established "routine" chemo treatment, her liver/kidneys suddenly failed due to an acute injury from the chemo and she was gone within a week. My parents and I were with her at the hospital the entire last week of her life 24/7 and have some understanding of how horrific this was for you and your entire family. With time our memories of that last week are beginning to fade so that we can more often remember my sister as she was before bc. I wish the same for you. You have my deepest sympathy. judy |

Liz, I'm very sorry for your loss. You can take some comfort in the thought that she knew how much you cared for her and wanted to save her from this terrible disease. Bernice Pray to God but row for shore..... Russian proverb

Liz, I don't know what to say that can make this any easier for you. I looked back at your posts in late April, and it seems like one she started to fail she went pretty fast. Maybe there's some comfort in that. I hope that she was not in pain. dx triple neg in 2005, mets to mediastinal nodes 12/07 , chemo Jan - April 08, remission 2/08; CT scan 4/08 showed one healing spine lesion, currently on chemo break, followup scans scheduled for late July; fingers crossed for no progression!
