Kaye’s Cancer Story

I feel so much for what you and your family are going through Kristen.

I went through the diagnosis and dying period of my husband Kim in a state of shock and the period where he withdrew was so hard as we were like one in life.

I reckon if a cancer can enter your families’ life as unforeseen and uninvited as it has then there is every possibility that a miracle can as well.

It just wasn’t the case for my Kim and he left us soooo quickly.

Kim was not afforded chemo embolisation as the doctors decided that the cancer was too advanced and the treatment may hasten his death. He died within 9 days of diagnosis and had been well up until he had a cat scan. The doctor rang to give me that news about no embo about 2 hours after he had passed away.

We spent a lot of time stealing kisses whenever we could.

All we had during his last days was pain management which he was thankful for however he was disappointed at the effect it had on him and clear thinking loss.

Our 6 kids are aged 14 to 25 and each day presents some new occasion that I know Kim should be here for. I am grappling with the fact that he is not here and we are all trying to make the best of it. It is sooo hard.

As to alternative treatments …someone said to me that they had a relative with a stage iv diagnosis of liver cancer who took aloe vera and is still alive 3 years later.
