Mom passes away
All,
This will probably be my last post here. I wish to thank all of you for the excellent information and support I received here.
After surviving 7 years, Mom finally passed away on 4th May. We had her at home and she went peacefully due to respiratory failure.
As per Hindu tradition we cremated her and immersed her ashes in the waters of the river Ganges.
I wish you all the very best and once again thank you.
Best,
Sachin Mehra on behalf of my mother Suman Mehra
Diagnosed in 2001, er-, pr-, her2 3+
Treated with Taxol, Herceptin, Tykerb, Xeloda, Gemzar, Zometa, herbal and homeopathic medication

My deepest condolences to you and your family. It hurts us all to lose another to this disease and it's obvious your Mother fought a long battle to beat this.
I hope in time you can take comfort from knowing she's at peace and not hurting anymore. I'm so sorry.
