Hi everyone,
Im just writing to let everyone know that my mum sadly passed away on the 23rd of June 2008 at 7.08pm. She was battling with lung cancer for 18months, and we all knew as a family that she never had long left. She was on 51years of age, and had 5 siblings, inclduing me and me twin, my older sister and two older brothers.
Her fight for cancer was very strong, she was a determined and strong woman, and fought hard. However we never told her that her cancer had spread to different areas of the body, and that the 'tarceva' medicine she was on, stopped working.
The reason it stopped was because she was vommiting non stop for 5days straight and all her medicine she was taking including the tarceva was getting ejected out.
Im so destraught, but i knew this day was going to come, i have my family and friends who are supporting me through these hard days.
I just wish and hope when we give her away for good on Saturday the 28th June 2008, she leaves peacefully and happily.
Her disease was deadly, and she had the hardest 18months as she was in a lot of pain, and at times it was hard to handle. I just cannot imagine what she was going through, but now shes not suffering.
I dont know if i will be coming back on this forum again, but it has helped me in the last 18months and it has given me strength.
I hope everyone stays strong and supports one another.
Take care.
