Tom Higgins Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 About the only bright spot in my life so far this year was last week when I spoke to a wonderful lady name Kathy at a hospital in Richmond, Va. She lost her husband 3 years ago to lung cancer. My wife was admitted to the hospital the first of Feb. because they found a mass in her lung during pre surgery tests so she could have spinal fusion surgery. After that, it was discovered she had a brain tumor deep in her brain. Before anything could be done, she developed hydra sephallis and everything went down hill from there. We finally had my darling Becki brought home last thursday under Hospice. She will probably pass on today or tomorrow. I hope that through communicating with people like this group, it will help me get through this because I feel like I'm going out of my mind. I want everyone that has love ones that are sick to know my heart goes out to you and your families and may God bring you peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
