When cancer comes to take a life

In my lifetime I have lost a cousin, 2 great uncles, multiple friends, my grandmother and my dad to some form of cancer or another. It is a ravenous beast that is hard to stop. I've seen what it causes and what the "medicine" for it does to the human body. You never can get used to seeing what it does.
I will say that the will to fight the disease gives you a better chance. Mentally giving into it seems to speed it up. Keep fighting and supporting each other!!!

I thought last year was hard. Maybe I or we are stronger, but it doesn't get any easier to see a loved one fighting to live and not giving up. But the body can only take so much. Man this is tough.....

I think 90 percent of people have been touched in one way or another by cancer . It's hard to wrap your mind around it. My best friends wife beat stomach cancer last year. She went back for a checkup right before Christmas. It has came back and has spread all over. She's on hospice now and probably only make it a couple more weeks. She's 31 and has three little girls the youngest is only three. The youngest daughter has never seen her mother healthy in her entire life. It makes me so angry why some worthless and terrible people get to live long lives and great hard working people are cut short. I guess the man up stairs has the answers. I usually don't get emotional even when some of my family members have passed away in the past. But there's something about a young mother dying and leaving three little girls to live there lives out without there mom that makes me sick.

Really appreciate the words of support, prayers and stories. I had told her that others were praying. The cancer has spread so rapidly now and morphine increased again and again. The body is just under so much strain it can't continue much longer. It is now that last wishes are made and whatever else needs to be communicated before the final journey begins and this life ends. They are trying to get her strong enough to walk again so she can come home and pass in privacy.
We had all hoped to move her to another location far away to enjoy her last days some place new and pretty. That was what she wanted, but it wasn't meant to be. The cancer came too quickly before that could be made into a reality.
At least despite how painful it is to say goodbye, as believers we can rest assured there is hope we will see our loved ones again one day when our time is up.Last edited by BaconIsMyFriend; 04-21-2017, 10:07 AM.
