debsing is an angel

[Mary Anne in TX]

So sorry to hear about your mom. I'd be just as angry. But you can be so proud of her courage and fight to stay with you. It will be people like your mom who finally make the difference in the battle to "kill" cancer. God bless you. I hope you begin to find some peace soon, though the loss never goes away.

The support on here is amazing, and I'm so relieved to know now that my mother had you all. I already miss our trips to Siteman. I always took her to her appointments and we were known as the ornery pair. Between her and I, we tried to keep on top of things as much as possible. Often, we knew or recommended things that they hadn't even considered (MRI when the brain mets were found). Unfortunately, her peritoneal mets didn't show up on the last scan and ended up giving her the bowel obstruction, which was not reversible in her case. She was a warrior, and I was her horse she rode into battle. We put up a hell of a fight together.
