my heart goes out to you, your husband and your loved ones. I also am in the same situation....we are at 26 years married and at Easter were given terminal diagnosis of 3 months....we are on borrowed time and all I can do is cry. I want so much - all of which can't be delivered. So lonely, so alone - Cancer is such a debilitating and insidious disease. If there is help through prayer and thoughts, mine are there. x

Hi we have all been praying for our loved ones and just don't know what else to do. We go on praying for a miracle its so hard to think of the strong person we knew and what the crappy big C has done to them life just doesn't seem fair at times you work hard all your life and look forward to the later years when you can relax and enjoy each other then this C comes along and messes everything up. Still we keep praying So we keep the faith Hugs to you all marshie

Then that is what you must do. Savour every second. I used to look at my man as I sat next to him on the back Porch (the treehouse) at an angle where he couldn't see me face on and I would literally absorb every molecule of him and could not believe that soon he would not be here. I used to say to myself. "well, he is her now and that's all any of us have ...NOW." Enjoy, cherish and savour the special love .....D
