I am so sad that the chemo could not hold this beast at bay. You have fought the fight as hard as you could and it bought you some extra time with your family and friends. I understand your decision to not make yourself so ill that you can not enjoy whatever time you have remaining.
You have been and will continue to be an inspiration to everyone one on this board and everyone you met in life. It was a joy to have met you and your family in Vegas. I hope this final part of your journey is easy. You will be in my thoughts.
In tears,
Eileen
