My Husband has passed....from a Lurker

Postby Tammy_tjb » Wed Oct 01, 2014 4:07 pm

Hello,
I wanted to share that my husband John, of nearly 29 years passed on Sunday, August 31, 2014.
John was diagnosed with rectal cancer after symptoms showing around July 4, 2010.
He fought very hard and was an inspiration to all.
His passing was at home and very peaceful.
John had mets to both lungs, his liver, and so very many in his bones.
I could not have been able to be his caregiver without all of the inspiration and help I have received from the message board. Thank you all for that.
I am sorry I have not been a poster, but I visit daily and keep all of you in my prayers.
I have been taking things one day at a time.
Feel free to private message me if I could help in any way with the experiences that my husband had.
Take Care and God Bless,
Tammy
