Brian passed away at home with his family and friends around him the way he wanted. Much to young to go at 50yrs, leaving his 16 and 19 year olds behind. He was still in the hospital recovering from the blood clots and he just kept getting more lung infection, malnutrition and the liver just didn't want to process any more, The main thing is that he BEAT the cancer but it was every thing that happened to his body from everything he went through. I never new how strong Brian was intill this past year. He was in constant pain and his body was giving out but he kept on pushing and fighting. I am so very proud of him. He is in heaven and never has to deal with pain a trach, feeding tubes, He can now talk freely eat what ever he wants, and never feel pain again. I will love you forever Brian.
Please let Brian be an inspiration to all of you,
Keep up the Battle against this terrible disease,
Thanks for all of you support along the way.
Take care B

My deepest sympathy to you and your famly. Cherish the memories and you are so right with no more pain or suffering.

I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Brian, you and your children will be in my prayers. There is something awful about this disease taking them down a road too far for them to return from. I have been sorting through these thoughts and feelings myself for the past month. At least now he is at peace.

Hugs,
Lisa

Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family at this time. Brian will be an inspiration to me and others for his brave battle with this disease. Take care of yourself. Linda

Dearest B, my thoughts are with you, I am sorry you have to go through this. I have a friend whose husband died suddenly 3 weeks ago (heart attack) age 43. She is having a very difficult time, they have 4 children, she went to a doctor to get some help.....I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers...Carol

B, I am so sorry for your loss. I wish there was something to say to make you feel better, but there isn't. Know that everyone here who reads your post feels your pain and empathsizes deeply with and for you.... Your husband went through such a difficult and horrible time with all this, and emotionally for you it must have been a nightmare... so sorry for all you have had to bear.
