My friend passed away three weeks ago and I am taking time to grieve.
My very best wishes to those who are caring for family or friends....and to those who are experiencing cancer, my very best wishes to you as well.
Thank you to the Cancer Connections team for a very helpful site.
Love and light to all, Louise

Hi gnomes,
My heart is with you at this moment. The same thing has happened with my father, he passed on the 17th of August and it wasn't the cancer that he passed from, he underwent a procedure in a hospital.
You are welcome to talk to me, I wish I could give you a big hug, because I know what you are going through.
On another note, I would love to get your perspective on palliaitve care and the experiences you had with it.
Please email me, I'd love to listen to you and hear your thoughts, we can exchange what we have both learn't about the experience.
God Bless you sweetheart. I'm sorry.

On Easter my friend had to go into hospital by ambulance as he was breathless just walking to the bathroom and shaving. He's been put on oxygen and given antibiotics for chest infection. Tomorrow is the start of a second round of chemo to control rapidly spreading mets in his lung. Thank goodness he's in good hands in hospital.
Luckily my daughter was visiting for Easter and my son's family came over on Saturday. Having them around made a big difference.
My friend's two younger sisters (75 and 73), and his son (41) were also able to visit him.
It's valuable having outside assistance, that's for sure. May we all find those extra resources!

Hi Louise,
Thanks for sharing your story. What a difficult time you and your friend you are going through.
Are there any other carers out there who have experienced similar things? I'm sure others can relate to Louise's description of this "nightmare" and all the hard emotions that come with being a carer. It would be great to hear from you.
Louisa
