Sandy ~

My condolences to you and your husband on the (blessedly gentle) passing of Ed's mother.  I think, in a way, prayers were answered. 

Jim
4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Sandy,

About 5 years ago I went through something very similar with my mom.  It was the most difficult time of my life and I am familiar with all the emotions that goes with your families decision.  This time will be difficult, but we are here to listen if you need to talk, shout, or cry.  I will be praying for you and your family.

Peace,
Kathy
