Hello, all,

I've been away from the boards for a while because of the agressive nature of Scott's last recurrence (metastatic to the skin on his neck/face).

I am so saddened to report that he passed away this morning. I am unable to think straight enough to get into the details now, but in short, two weeks ago his third feeding tube in 5 months failed, and we decided to stop life-prolonging measures. His body was tired; at least we diverted a seemingly set path of carotid rupture. He did not want to die that way nor put me through that kind of castostrophic event.

I was holding his hand when he breathed his last breath and his soul left his failed body at 5:40 a.m. My daughters and I had our time to say good bye over the last few weeks, but our pain is still great. We will forever love and miss him.

My heart is so heavy. I feel such loss that this cancer took him away.

Christine
