i'm so sorry sigs. Cancer is a vile thing.Good evening.
I agree. I'm very happy this young woman went out on her own terms. I pray her family and friends find comfort and peace.
My husband was 34 years old when he was diagnosed with GBM. (The same brain cancer this woman had.) We were advised if he did not have a crainiotomy to remove as much of brain tumor as possible...he might have as little as two weeks (those freaking GBM tumors can grow exponentially) or possibly as much as three months. Quality of life was unknown or predictable.
IF he chose to have the crainiotomy (and possible brain damage that might occur) radiation, and chemo...he might have 50 (fifty) weeks. Tops. Again, quality of life was unknown.
He chose to have the operation, radiation and chemo. It was not an easy road. Far from it. But he managed to live two years and seven months. Good quality of life. Two years and seven months he was able to be with our son. Three entire summers he and our son had together 24/7.
I'm not sure what I'm trying say.
Peace.
Good evening.

My cousin was in the same situation. They got the first tumor, but it came back a couple of years later. He chose to stick it out and have whatever treatments he could in order to have as much time with his son as he could. I don't think he ever regretted it, despite the pain/sickness at the end. I miss him.
Lost both my parents to that evil "C".
