The sadness is exhusting

Abrowneyegirl · ‎03-15-2010

I do not know how much more I can take, in the last 6 days I have been informed of close friends or family (ages 25 to 71) have been informed that they have terrible terminal diseases.

The diagnoses include:

ALS

stage 4 pancreatic cancer

Breast cancer that has spread to the heart, bones, liver and brain

stage 4 lung cancer- both lungs, bone and liver

GBM grade 4 brain cancer

We are trying to digest the information and create some sort of plan to figure out who needs what help and support when.

It is such a surprise, all of these people have lead healthy, active lives and are the 'pictures of good health.' All went to the doctor with a minor complaint of "something" not quite right......

Correction --the young woman with breast cancer, she has had it for a several months now and was doing well with tx, they expected her to be going into full remission soon when she started to have a pain in her hip; instead of remission the finds were that it is suddenly spreading quickly.

We so need to have some good news! So much sadness.

I am almost paranoid now

This is all so tragic. Very sorry. Try and just cope and support - that's all you can do.

I'm sorry. I won't say all the things people say when they don't know what to say, nothing can make the awful news any better. All you can do is be there to listen, offer comfort & pitch in with anything that needs to be done. Been through it & it never gets any easier. The good news your looking for will come as family, friends & the health professionals all come together to help. Blessings.
