Cancer Support and Caregivers Who Are Trail Blazers!

[clay]

Warm hugs to all you GORGEOUS, sexy women with the lovely bald heads! What an incredibly beautiful group you ALL are! Isn't it amazing how wonderful YOU ALL are!! Such a lovingly, positive group!
I lost my own lovely wife March 16, 2009 to Stage IV breast Cancer with Mets. to Liver/Lung/Bone/Brain. She was diagnosed at Stage IV Jan. 08, 2007 and told to "get affairs in order, make last plans, etc. Well the big C just didn;t know whom it had chosen to mess with..she hung on 26 months. Initially she had 40 rad. tx's. to shoulder,hip, neck, and breast. Then Chemo...she was also a pioneer for the drug Tykerb! Chemo went on the entire 26 months. Rad was with another 18 tx.'s July 2008 after FOUR brain tumors were found. Liver failure is what took her. She was never hospitalized excpet one night when the tumors were found. Both of us are Nurses! She wanted to be home and to die at home, with me with her. That was possible and I cherish those 26 months. She asked to be cremated and our ashes be together when I die. Her one wish was that when I gave her eulogy at her Memorial Service that I play Bagpipes version of Amazing Grace, I hope You Dance, and Wind Beneath my Wings. She asked that I tell the folks when I played the Amazing Grace song that she would be in heaven smiling down on us as she had had to endure that sad song over the years and cry...now she could laugh at us...!!
Anyway she was one amazingly incredible trooper...positive from the start to end...never once complaining, always upbeat, happy....and so full of life and joy! She was a brilliant RN...had Mensa intelligence! We had 15 years of a wonderfully healthy, happy, loving life! I have taken the last two and a half years to heal..and I am ready to be in love again....with the right woman! I am in no hurry...and I want to have a healthy, happy loving relationship again!
I send each and every one of you a very special hug....and FIGHT the GOOD fight, folks!!! Her one wish was that I NOT tell people she lost her battle with cancer, but that she passed her torch on to another!!! So to those of you who now carry that torch....do so proudly and FIGHT! In memory of my lovely wife, Cathy! Clay
