Like your father's side of the family, his too is susceptible to cancer (prostate).♣ Terrihttp://agirlandhertoys.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322974238045281221.post-42799715739933773882011-07-06T22:48:05.030-07:002011-07-06T22:48:05.030-07:00Thank you everyone - My wife has been very affecte...Thank you everyone - My wife has been very affected by this woman's passing, and I thought I was an onlooker. Then I opened a new post this morning and this poured out. I guess I was thinking about this more than knew. <br /><br /> Kathleen - thanks for reading it. My father's side of the family is especially vulnerable to cancer.<br /><br /> Melody - I'm sorry about your dad. It does devour people; your body just rebels and starts producing these rampaging immortal cells. It sucks - apparently Mordecai Richler's funeral was a one long and profane tirade against cancer.<br /><br /> Georgi - heading over to your blog right now.Mac Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18025256806783821913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322974238045281221.post-59666109404881405242011-07-06T19:50:51.550-07:002011-07-06T19:50:51.550-07:00I'm sorry to hear that.

It was six months ago last week and so she was in my thoughts all week. if you so wish, you can read the poem that i wrote when she stopped the treatment (she died three months after) - here http://a-pastiche.blogspot.com/2010/09/is-there-ghost-in-my-house.html .

They had told him, when they FINALLY discovered he had lung cancer, that it was terminal. He didn't tell us, though I'm not sure why, or we'd have spent even more time with him. I was with him when he took his last breath and then did not take another. Cancer sucks! He should have had at least another twenty years of life! I miss him, can you tell? My sympathy on the death of your aunt.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349803798697307901noreply@blogger.com
