Metastatic liver cancer

In the liver cancer story from Jessica it is not clear whether she talks about a primary cancer or a metastatic liver cancer. But the outcome is clear: too many people die from cancer…

Notice how Jessica prays for a cure for all cancers where we take it one step further and pray that people start promoting cancer prevention globally.

Just like Jessica we all have been struggling with father’s death as well. For mother the struggle is both physical as emotional:

• she has torn a ligament due to carrying father around, but after one year that’s more or less taken care of
• the loss of father is not at all taken care of: sometimes I call her up and I can tell she has been crying…

We were told in advance:

• the doctor who made father’s metastatic liver cancer diagnosis said:
  it’s easy for me to say in these 4 walls of the hospital, you will leaving the hospital soon and have to deal with it
• a few of the palliative care-takers and a few widows:
  taking care of your father is only the beginning of the story, yet when your father passes away, the story will be far from over…

We totally agree with Jessica’s words: "father now is in a place where there is no pain".

Jessica’s liver cancer story

Many generations in my family have cancer.

I have had two of my grandparents (grandmas) who have died because of cancer.

• one who was my step-grandma she had breast cancer and
• the other was my closest granny and she had liver cancer.

I have been struggling with their deaths a lot, and it hurt to see them go through it all too.

I just pray to God, that He will help our doctors find a cure for all cancers.

Its such a horrible cause of death and its so hard for the families to see it happen.

I miss my grandparents so much, but I realize that they are in a better place with no pain, where I will see them again.

Thank you for making this website.

Hubby being overseas just sent me a great breast cancer awareness gift: a pink camera! (better than a postcard, mind you…).

Due to the main sponsor of my cancer story blog, I am not allowed to tell you the name of the pink cancer camera, nor a link where it can be found, but the picture is big enough to have an idea

Hubby actually wanted to buy me a pink handphone, but handphones here are cheaper than where he is. I never saw a pink breast cancer awareness camera here, so I am quite happy to have my first camera

Finally I can send hubby pictures back

Please spread the word about breast cancer: early detection is the best road to a successful cancer cure! Get a mammogram screening and be aware that in the month of October, you can most likely find a free mammogram scanning near where you live!

As you know by now: October is breast cancer awareness month.

If you want to know more about breast cancer survivors, and you don’t have time to skim through a vast number of posts about "daily ramblings", then have a go at Jacki’s blog.

The blog is in father’s blogroll under the personal stories and it covers 20 posts over a period of 1 year.

What is most important I find is that Jacki has a healthy sports-body. Since there is no real cure for cancer, the best way to fight it is making sure you are in good shape. Like that you are likely to survive a chemo-therapy as best as possible.
