Dear Mike,
Thank you so much for sharing your story of Lynn's final days. She certainly was a remarkable person. I know it must have been difficult for you to let us in on those emotional days and weeks at the end of her life, but it really does help to talk. Sometimes people worry about bringing up Scott and his death around me; I guess they are afraid to "upset me." But I NEED to talk about Scott, not only of the good times but also all of the horrors we faced together in the end.
I told him a few days before he died that I would carry his love in my heart forever. We cried and held each other. In the end, love is all there is.
I'm glad you had Lynn in your life, and I know her love will be with you and your children forever, too.
Christine
Wife of Scott: SCC, Stage I retromolar 10/02--33 rad; recurrence 10/03--Docetaxol, 5FU, Cisplatin; 1/04 radical right neck, hard palate, right tonsil; recurrence 2/04--mets to skin and neck; Xeloda and palliative care 3/04-4/04; died 5/01/04.
