      <title>Sad to report Mom passed away on December 5th</title>
      <description>Hi,I am very sad to report Mom passed away from recurent Ovarian Cancer after a 22 month battle. Mom had stage 3C Ovarian Cancer and battled very hard but was overcome by Sepsis which is an infection in the blood. Mom would have been 71 on 1/25. I am deeply saddened by her loss. There was no one I love, appreciated and respected more than my Mom. I will never get over her loss but will try and live with it as best as I can. Mom will be in my heart for eternity. Her son,Tom</description>

      <description>Dear Tom,&amp;nbsp;I remember reading your messages this fall regarding your Mom&amp;#39;s battle with cancer.&amp;nbsp; My own mother, age 65, is fighting a stage 3C ovarian carcinosarcoma, so I am only too familiar with what your mom and you have gone through these past 22 months.&amp;nbsp; My condolences to you.&amp;nbsp; Based on your posts, one could tell you were a great advocate for her and that is one of many ways we can help our parents when they need us.&amp;nbsp; My heart goes out to you.&amp;nbsp;Christiane in OR&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;</description>

Her son,TomHi Tom,I just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear&amp;nbsp;about the loss of your mother, especially so close to the holidays.&amp;nbsp; I am also very close to my mother.&amp;nbsp; We have been the best of friends&amp;nbsp;going everywhere and doing everything together&amp;nbsp;for the last 15 years.&amp;nbsp; My mother was diagnosed with Stage 3 inoperable Thymoma/Thymus cancer right before last Christmas.&amp;nbsp; She had chemo all last winter and major open-chest surgery this summer to remove the mass and several other structures in the chest.&amp;nbsp; She has since had heart failure from the chemo and cannot have radiation due to her heart.&amp;nbsp; She has suffered immensely as has our entire family.&amp;nbsp; I am very thankful to have her with us this Christmas and hope and pray her cancer will never come back.&amp;nbsp; However, it is always in my thoughts and her type of cancer is one that normally returns.&amp;nbsp; I am thankful for today and will try to cherish&amp;nbsp;all the time we have left.&amp;nbsp; You and your family&amp;nbsp;are in my&amp;nbsp;thoughts and prayers.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Again, I am very sorry&amp;nbsp;for your loss.&amp;nbsp; I hope, some day, there will be a cure to all cancers!!Michelle&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;</description>
