Don Wood Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Lucie Fly Wood, the love and light of my life, is no longer struggling with lung cancer. She died peacefully Tuesday night. She is truly my angel. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karenl Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Oh, Don. I am so sorry. Lucie's journey with cancer was so inspirational to me when we joined the board - her story of survival gave us hope at a time when we desperately needed it. I wish there were words which would help to ease your pain, but please know we are with you. Peace and love to you. Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginnyde Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Oh dear Don, I don't begin to know what to say. Lucie will always be such an important part of our family here and an inspiration to all as to how to suffer this disease with grace. I am so very sorry. I will pray for peace and comfort for you and your children. How appropriate her maiden name. Let us think of Lucie now FLYing with the angels.

This is the third time I have posted this info, but each time it was on a new message board. My wife was diagnosed with NSCLC in October, with mets to the bones. Actually, there is only a trace of the cancer in her lungs. She has had radiation for three of the five known bone mets to prevent bone fracture and/or reduce pain. She has had 2 rounds of chemo (carboplatin & taxotere). The first went fine, but the second really put her down. She has been in the hospital for dehydration and/or infections three times in December, for a total of about 25 days, including Christmas in ICU. I got her home last Saturday and she is progressing slowly. I have had to learn how to be a nurse! I am a prostate cancer survivor, but my events were not so dramatic as hers. We will meet with the oncologist Tuesday to see where we are and where we are going with this. We both have good support systems, so I am hopeful. We have three grown children, and they are coping fiarly well. I am trying to regain some normalcy and control in at least a small part of my life, so I can bear the rest. Would like to hear from other caregivers and how they are doing. Thanks. Don _________________ 68-yr old, married 43 yrs, wife has NSCLC (diag. 10/02) w. bone mets. I am 7-yr. prostate cancer survivor and 5-yr. heart bypass surgery survivior. Three adult children and 2 grandchildren. I am trained caregiver.Back to top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
