‘How many of us get to drop out of life because someone EVEN CLOSER dies?’

if anything, most of us have to connect even closer to our lives; we are needed then more than ever...

You know a lot about this topic.
I’d never heard about that release of molecules that may circulate and work like hormones. The wrong kind of doctor may mistake symptoms of flushing and diarrhea for other maladies. “I have just the solution for you, Mrs. Johnson, Pepto Bismal! Flush your problems away!”

I have a wife and a son who each have a very serious form of cancer. It turns your world upside down in a real hurry. Priorities change immediately.

Yes. Apparently, she was from Burghettstown, which is about 20 miles west of Pittsburgh (and is not far from my hometown). I had no idea that a relative of BS was from there.

The blessing is that she didn’t have a long drawn out agony filled death.

The downside is she didn’t really get to prep to say goodbye to her child and family.

‘It turns your world upside down in a real hurry.’

it robs your life of any semblance of joy; seeing a loved one suffer is too much too bear...

I am sorry you have to face this...

Get a ct screening. I go every year. $200.00, less than a brake job. No more voodoo medicine - I want to KNOW what's going on inside of me. CANCER SHOULD NOT SNEAK UP ON ANYONE IN THE 21st CENTURY... Get in the tube fool.

Don't hurt.

You’re right.

I remember as a kid thinking in the limo on the way to my old man’s funeral that all the cars driving by didn’t give a sh.t that he died :)

They didn’t close the city for the day. The president didn’t give a speech. No memorials :)

Life GOES ON no matter what happens and no matter who dies.

It’s just a cold, hard fact.

You don’t get to drop out of life.

I am thinking it has been brewing for awhile but Doctor’s didn’t understand it or catch it for some reason. So it really could have been 6 months but she didn’t find out until the end.

I would be pissed if I was her husband. Something similar happened in my family. My mother knew something was wrong but they didn’t listen and came up with different excuses. Until way too late. Died several months later

I am a big advocate of doing your own bloodwork through www.directlabs.com.

It seems odd that someone in the medical field did not know sooner....and then died almost immediately.
