Saint, I'm truly sorry to hear how things ended up for your mother.  Be well my man.

My girlfriends father has been a wonderful example of the other aspect we all need to keep in mind when we have family of friends with some form of cancer....

And that's quality of life !!

After his fourth treatment of chemo he said he had had enough of feeling sick and just wasting it all away.
So days after his last treatment he goes out and buys himself a 2001 Porsche 911 Carrera.
And he's gonna enjoy it too I'm sure.  ;D

Now of course not everyone can go out and do something quite like that, but regardless of treatments, surgeries, illness and any other "medical" aspects they may endure....
always consider helping out by simply making their quality of life more enjoyable. If you put a serious downer about it, then they will see and feel the same. And lord knows it's miserable enough.

Saint, wanted to share our condolences for you and your family.

Lost one aunt and one uncle due to cancer.
A very good friend lost her brother who was only 18 years old still about a year ago.

My wife participates in the cancer-fund collection so we're doing our part to help the fight over here.

Wish you all the best !

My condolences as well Saint. Cancer has taken away many of my loved ones over the years, including my grandmother last year of lung cancer.

In 2001 my nephew was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and died on Christmas Day. He was only 16 months old. Watching him waste away only to die in his mother's arms was quite possibly the most heart breaking moment I have ever witnessed.

I participate every year in the St. Baldrick's Foundation fund drive in his honor. Basically, I get my head shaved in honor of those children that lose their hair because of chemo. If anybody is interested in making a donation just visit my web page:

Saint, I'm definitely going to make a donation to Relay for Life for you. Hang in there man.
