Sorry that I didn't see your post earlier Steash, but I wanted you to know that I understand what you're going through.

This month and last have been rather hard for me as well. They were the anniversaries of my mother and father's deaths from cancer, both of whom died between 57 and 63 yrs of age.

My best friend died from lung cancer 5 years ago in May, and this month sees the anniversary of the death of my first baby. The anniversary of my S-I-L's death from cancer at 41 yrs of age, is in a few weeks time as well.

Last month my brother died from Lymphoma, and a few day later a close friend died from a malignant brain tumour.

September of last year was a biggie for me, and I lost half my bowel during a hemicolectomy due to a cancer, and in January I lost most of my nose, also because of cancer.

I just wanted you to know that I've been there myself, so I truly understand what you've been going through.

Yep! Cancer sucks and it sucks big time, but please let me know if there's anything I can do to help you through this awful time for you.
