I told her she was the first one in our family that could teach us all about death,dignity,courage , teach grandchildren and great grandchildren that its a natural process. She did a tremendous job even though I know she was scared. She set an example to us all. Would she be proud of me now.....I didn't think so. Her cancer was terminal...my outcome is still cloudy but there is hope. They gave me some steriods and I continued radiation after a few day break. I just got home from hospital today after insertion of a G tube.Also I just got the pain patch.I was hoping I could muscle through without the G tube and all the pain meds. I cannot. I surrendered to the fact that whatever I need to do with all the help available to get through this I will finish. I am now the senior member of my family its it is time I assume that role like my Mom did. In my darkest time I had no place to turn but here....I new you would understand.. How could anyone know unless we've walked in the same shoes...Thank you all and God Bless. I will keep you posted. L Steve Hurlock
