Hi, Elli, I just wanted to let you know that I know what you have been through, and I would be happy to talk if you ever need someone. I will be keeping you & your family in my prayers. I know what a difficult time this is... even after a year. We lost my mother-in-law last December (2007). She was diagnosed with OVC on her birthday in 2001 so she had a long, six year fight. She went through many infections, had frequent thrush outbreaks in her mouth, all sorts of awful things, including multiple hernias across her stomach that, even had they been able to risk a surgery of any kind, they would have had to graph her entire stomach. So, she had to live with that pain in addition to the cancer and the chemotherapy. I believe she went though 8-9 rounds of chemo in her 6 year fight.  I know the pains of that last stage, too. It sounds just like how my mother in law went in her last days (who was more of a mom to me than my own, that's how close we were)..... I am just thankful I got to be with her when she left us. I was holding her hand when she died. It's almost a year, and I still miss her every day. If you are still here on the boards,... I am here for you, if you need or want to talk. (((hugs))) I'm F.I.N.E. Frustrated, Irritated, Nonfunctional & Everything hurts!!
