kito40 Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 I have logged on as my sister so that you will be able to see her picture. Although I am an avid lurker, I don't post much, however, I am posting this as it helps to release a few tears. My sister was diagnosed in March 2002 and fought the biggest battle of her life. She suffered severe pain but didn't let on to anyone how bad it really was because she didn't want to burden anyone. She had a pnuemectomy(sp), craniotomy (sp?), whole head radiation, 3 different chemo regimes, and after all that found out she had 2 more brain tumors and an 11 cm mass on her adrenal gland. She was started on Iressa and had focalized radiation on her brain tumor that didn't respond so she had surgery on June 16th to remove it as she was suffering mini seizures. Unfortunately, she had a stroke in surgery and never woke up. She had a very strong heart and didn't pass til June 23rd. I believe she had a stroke for a reason and that someone larger than life had decided she had been through enough. I have lost my big sister and she was only 46 years old. My life will never be the same, but I will continue to pray for us all. Kelly (headbo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fay A. Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 I'm sorry, Kelly. I read your sister's story on line a long time ago, and didn't realize you were related. She was a very brave person, and she knew how to live. I admired her greatly, and I am so sorry for your loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Dear Kelly- Thank you for letting us know about the untimely loss of your beloved sister. As you indicate, she was far too young and will be missed by many people. Her courageous battle is over but you have solid memories of her. I hope they stand you in good stead through your grief. So sorry... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnyde Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Kelly, I am so sorry. My sister just died on May 21st. I miss her more than I could ever imagine. I reach for the phone to call her almost daily. She was my rock, my advisor, my mentor, my Emily Post, my 'what do I have for a company dinner', etc. She was my friend. She died from sepsis, but had throat cancer and had had breast cancer. She, like your sister, was a trooper. Complain, hardly at all. Laugh, often. I too remember your sister's story. She fought a strong fight. May she rest in peace. Please accept my condolences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also know from all that I read of what a wonderful friend and support you were to her through everything. May the Lord grant you peace and calm in your grief.
