My mom's fight with this horrific disease ended today. If there's any good that came out of this 12.5 year journey, it's the people I've met; complete strangers who came to my aid and embraced me with their compassion, knowledge and kindness. I was a scared sh*tless caregiver drowning in waves of emotion and challenge, but people on this forum and at the many hospitals I contacted and visited took me under their wing and pulled me through three bouts of my mom's oral cancer. Names like Danny Bogan, Uptown, Joanna, Frank Packer Sherman, Gary and, of course, Brian will serve as a reminder of the goodness in people. I deeply appreciate the community this forum provided me with.

Dave,
I'm very sorry to hear about your mother. She was diagnosed a few years before me so I don't recall reading any of your posts on the forum.
Yes, this is a horrific disease, but as you said I've also meet a lot of wonderful people, complete strangers, that became like family to me and so many others.
Your mother and father raised a good son and you were there when they needed you. My sincere sympathy to you and your family.
My condolences on your loss. Semper-Fi Bob

I offer my sincere condolences, my friend. We've been together for so long, please keep in touch.
Dave, Im very sorry for your loss.
Dear Dave,
