It is with such a heavy heart that I tell you my Mom (my best friend) died on March 3 with Stage IV melanoma. It was only 3 1/2 months from first diagnosis till we lost her. She did the radiation route and was on a 42 day protcol of Temodar since it had spread to her head.
Please keep me in your prayers as this is so over-whelming for me and the rest of our family. Mom was never sick a day in her life, We had a big party planned for my parents 50th anniversary. It's so hard because we lost my brother on Sept. 11 - he was a FDNY firefighter. As a very close family we were just coming out of the fog of losing him.
I will pray for all of you out there. I know the day to day struggle of trying to do EVERYTHING to make your loved one better - the best research, the bets doctors, and the daily caregiving. Sloan Kettering dtrs were good as well as local oncologist.
Family is the most important thing - so continue your journey and may God bless all of you.
Feeling a bit lost....
