I'm so sorry. A very sad day and week indeed. Thinking of all of you and the families of those lost and those losing the battle.

A mom holding out hope,
Sandy

What a bad day indeed. Kar mel and Ashlee are much more articulate than I am so I just want to give an amen to their posts.

But I have tears in my eyes, not for all the losses, but at the wonderful, marvelous, supportive, crazy, outlandish, beautiful, funny, intelligent, and loving family we have here. I cant imagine being on this journey without you.

XOXOX

Me either!!! Believe me, my sanity would probably be gone if it wasn't for y'all. As sad as it is today, there have been so many with NED scans for about two weeks or so that I think I got complacent. :roll: Between God, my wonderful family and this place, I'm not in a rubber room somewhere!
God bless ~

It seems as thought this past month has been terribly sad. I hope you are doing good Bev, my prayers are with you and with everyone here. Sincerely hoping for more good posts. I think those cheer everyone up. I am SO sorry for the people who aren't doing too good right now. My heart aches for them. I pray for everyone here constantly.

Bev, I agree. This colon cancer nightmare leaves me feeling so hopeless and helpless. I come here looking for a glimmer of hope but for each glimmer of hope comes more bad news. I wish I could freeze time as each day with my husband is so very precious to me but time goes by so quickly. It has been a year now when symptoms first appeared. I can't bear the thought of losing my best friend and soulmate. I am greatful for all of the people here giving support to each other. We need it, this cancer can sure beat you down on so many levels.
