    Cammi! OMG! I'm so sorry about your Brother! I read it on the drinking thread.... I know we have talked about how bad he was.... but I didn't really want to think he was that bad! I know you and your Sister's didn't want to think so either. Did his family make it in time to see him? I can't believe that it had spread that fast....

    Honey, I'm just so sorry..... I just can't imagine losing my Brother.... It is just sooooooo hard losing someone you love.... I won't even tease you...... for awhile.... like maybe a day.

    Thanks everyone, it did happen fast--He was in Florida, golfing in December feeling fine and then he was DX with cancer all thru his body. He was the 2nd oldest and dearly loved by us and so many people he touched in life He was home here. we were all glad he was here, but of course nothing we could do for him. We're having a hard time with this, also most of his close friends were well known  Drs. why in the hell did he wait so long- But there is stil no answer and never will be. He was getting married soon and she is wonderful--he was so happy.that I think he just ignored signs--cuz when he did have a couple of operstions he'd go right away and had surgery the next day--they took such care of him. That's my theory anyway. He did have a beautiful life, wonderfult wife (died a few yrs back) great children who gave him wonderfl GC  and his career was exactly as he planned--He retired from a Justice of the Appalete (sp) court and he traveled all over, skied in Austria and just enjoyed life too.AND he took care of himself ate well, excercised , didn't smoke and there is no way I think u can hide from cancer and my mom was another one who did all the right things and she had it too.--I'm sorry for the rant but it just spilled out. I'm just so upset with effin cancer. This disease has been around a very long time and u'd think there would be a better handle on this damn thing. Well this is how I feel. I'm sorry again this post was all about me--but then again most of them are.

    Go ahead Cami, dump all you want to. You know we are here to listen. Get it all out, it may help you.

    Cami- you can rant all you want with all that is going on. A sudden death is always shocking to everyone. I am glad your brother did not suffer a long time, but so hard for all of you that remain.

    I can tell he was very loved by all of you. That he had a wonderful career, family, that he traveled and enjoyed himself. A life well lived is something to admire. I hope you find ways to mourn his loss as well as celebrate the person he was.

    I don't blame you for being upset with the f-in cancer either. It is a horrible disease that is often very silent until it's too late. We do the best we can to take care of ourselves.

    You try to rest up dear, as this next week will be a busy one for your family. We are here if you need to talk. As you know, we are great listeners!

    Cami, It's so hard to lose a brother. Hugs. And don't worry about ranting about Fing cancer. It deserves all the ranting it can get.

    Cami, my sincere condolences about the physical loss of your brother. It reminds me to call my own.

    Morning gals.... Sassy, what did you find out? What about the tests?

    Cammi... I know... We just think of so many things when we are thinking about someone we have just lost. And we wish we could have done this, or said that, or maybe been there a little more, but it's all okay.........Your Brother lived in your heart, and you in his, and no matter what, it will always be that way.

    That's right Dunes... I'm going to call mine too! xoxoxo

    Chevy Good Morning :) It'll be a while. I have to get a new patient appointment . No clue how long that will take., but it's in process. There's two other referrals for body parts misbehaving. I'll be on the train for awhile. I'm okay honest. Just another one to deal with. It's early. (I hope LOL). Usually the first sign of bladder cancer is blood in the urine. I don't have that. The urine was a monitoring urine, I have every year b/c of a chemo screw up and then the RAI-131(radioactive iodine). But my research did me well in the sense that when the chemo scerw up happened, my research said "urine for cytology for life". Docs poopooed me. St PCP will do anything I want. So the downside is, if there was no monitoring and it just would show up later.

    Each of my cancers have been early, and the brain tumor. The brain tumor was benign but growing. They can stay benign, or cross the line to malignant. Either way out it went too:)

    When I saw the Mo early Jan. the urine wasn't back yet. We got all the other referrals and tests set up. I said I was due for another cancer based on history of last 6 years. He said I was just being paranoid. Showed him to listen.

    I'm going to ask for some genetic testing. I fit Cowdens disease to a tee. BC, Thyroid, Bladder. There's also a thing called P53. I asked for it sometime ago --got poopooed. Don't think so this time.

    Sas- I do think you are a good candidate for genetics testing. My BS told me there are all these new generations of tests that include bc and other types of cancers they are starting to look at now. Testing beyond the BRACA genes most are familiar with.

    That being said, they are hard to get authorized and approved, but with your history, I would think it would not be as problematic.

    I'm so sorry Cami. I'm with the others in saying rant away.

    Sas, I like Patti's advice, lol. I'm also hoping the new tests show no cancer.

  • Cami I'm very sorry for your loss ((hugs))

    mags, I think science has done a disservice to woman with stressing the BRac' s. The body is to complex.

    In 2009 I had genetic counseling after BRac' s negative. Paternal grandmother side loaded with cancers 23/53 adults with cancer. 12/21woman have cancer. Nine of those BC. That was six years ago. Oh well they will listen now.
