The latest.....DFN

dotmom

I'm so sad to say it is not looking good, at all for my precious DDIL. She has been sedated and on a ventilator since last Thursday. The cancer is widespread, and they are trying to wean her off the sedation and ventilator, so she can resume radiation. Hopefully she can be awake when two of her daughters fly in from Arizona and Nevada, this coming Friday.

Thank you, KT friends for your prayers and kind words. Dottie

    Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with DFN, your son, you, and her daughters. Since I recently lost my DH to lung cancer, I know how bittersweet and painful it is to have the family rally around with such great hopes. I hate that disease.

    I've been absent from the KT for weeks. When I checked in just now, yours was the first post I read. I am so very sorry for you...and for your family.
    Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

    My heart aches for you & the family. Ask Radiodokter to whisper to her how much she's been missed here and that literally hundreds of prayers have been said for her.

    May God hold each of you close now and in coming days.

    May God's grace be with all of you at this difficult time. I pray that treatmrents may resume, and that as much healing as is possible may come about in her being.

    Cancer is so limited...
    It cannot cripple love
    It cannot shatter hope
    It cannot corrode faith
    It cannot destroy peace
    It cannot kill friendship
    It cannot suppress memories
    It cannot silence courage
    It cannot invade the soul
    It cannot steal eternal life
    It cannot conquer the spirit.
