I wanted to let everyone know that my mother’s battle with cancer in her face is now over and she passed away on 12/13, Sunday afternoon. We appreciate all the prayers for her when she was ill! Her decline was super, super fast. Even hospice told me that her case was faster than what they usually see. She was up and around, eating dinner with us on Wednesday and we watched a movie. Thursday morning, she woke up and I could tell right away that she was starting to show signs of a major change in her status and beginning of the agitation that’s common in end stage.

The tumor was becoming so aggressive - we realized last week it had moved under her chin and was going to start invading the healthy half of her face. The metastasis in her sternum and thyroid was visibly obvious and there is no doubt the tumors would be putting pressure on her trachea. That would have been a nightmare.

My mother is a believer, but her grief and shock over the sudden decline and having to leave her children was really hard to watch. My cousin and I did round the clock care for her, giving morphine and haldol, until the end.

I’m so grateful that my mom’s time on hospice was not as bad as some. She was mobile, able to eat (even Saturday she was asking for tastes of food), and she had all her marbles. I got her out several times and she really didn’t start getting pain until late on Thanksgiving night.

She is finally free of this horror that was taking over her face.

Bless you; and thank you.

Eternal rest grant unto Edith O Lord and

may perpetual light shine upon her

may Edith’s soul and all the souls of the faithfully departed

through the Mercy of God rest in peace.

God bless you and your family for your kindness to your dear mother during her terrible suffering.

May the Lord Himself soothe your broken hearts and may the memories of your mother lift your spirits.

There is small solace that her suffering has come to an end and rejoicing in Heaven at her arrival.

God Bless

FReeper(Vermont Lt) Good News:

In the summer of 2019 my wife was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. At the time, even though the docs were very careful stating a "time," they indicated they think they got it early. But a simple review on line indicated at 5% 5 year survival rate. It was 20% the first years. She was sick about a month after Trebek.
She was scheduled for a Whipple Surgery. This surgery completely re-routed her digestive system. They found a modest sized tumor, but not spread to her lymph nodes.
ONLY 15% of patients can get the Whipple. They have the best chance of survival. And at that...the 5 year goes up to 25%. Still pretty bleak.
Six months of chemo followed. On Palm Sunday night--just after the lock down, she was rushed into a huge, empty ER because the chemo caused her colon to twist and die. I was allowed to go in and stay with her until she went up to surgery at 9PM that night. 35% mortality rate on THAT surgery alone. The time I spent in my truck, in the hospital parking lot begging God to save her was the darkest moment is my life.
Then it was home, locked down for another six months.
Several of you kept us in your prayers.
October comes and she goes back in for a ileostemy reversal. Another week in the hospitals. But its was a success. No more bag and she starts to put on weight.
This brings us to this week. The first news was that her Cancer Blood factor was barely detectable. The second good news was her scan came back clear; No Evidence of Disease.
In our teleconference with the Oncologist he actually said, "If it were coming back, this is when we would see it. I think we a probably in the clear."
A recent study indicates that with no "factor" in her blood, and a clean scan puts her in the cohort where it is highly likely she will exceed 77 months, and people in her position in the latest research at STILL alive after that time frame.
That puts her into a "normal" life span. We know the risk never goes completely away. But this is as good as any of us gets.
We are not "special." There is no medical reason why she responded well to her treatment and dodged ALL of these bullets when ALMOST everyone else dies.
By all research and anecdotal evidence, she should be dead. This "should" have been my worst Christmas ever.
Instead, I have my wife. She just hit her target weight after dropping to under 100 pounds. She is back at work. She is happy.
And I have never been so grateful in my life.
And....this week, we found out we are having a grandson. This will be the first boy on my side of the family since 1960.
This is the best week of my life. And it is all because of the power of prayer, you all, and Jesus.
Thank you everyone for your prayers. I praise the Lord. I thought this community would appreciate my testimony.
