I want to thank each and every one of you for your words of comfort and support. Coy passed away 15 Oct 2005. The cancer was so aggressive that each day it took a bigger toll on his body. The drs had given him a minimum of 6 months but he passed away 5 months after being diagnosed. I am so sad and at the same time so upset with the drs. They give you false hope and all the time tell you that you are getting better. When the disease progresses they simply say, "We are going to try something different". I read a lot about chemo and found out that many times chemo treatments have a reverse reactive to cancer cells. Instead of slowing them down, they speed up the process. Of course the drs don't tell you this. If they did then that would mean a possible reduction of pay in the pocketbooks. It was so difficult to see him decline. Hospice came in because he did not want to pass in the hopsital. All I can say to anyone reading this is please research all the facts and question the drs. I miss my husband so very much.
