Hello, thanks for having me.  My mom died in May this year after a 6 month battle with lung, liver, bone and brain cancer.  They think it started in her lung (she quit smoking 52 years before) and spread from there.  She died in hospice with my dad by her side.  They celebrated their 54th wedding anniversary in Aug 2017.

I am doing well, and one great thing that has resulted from it is my brother, whom my sister and I were estranged from for over 10 years, is back in our lives :)  My dad, though, has become a problem.  I will post more on that in another forum when I figure out which one our problems are best suited to.

I live in Canada so I hope it's OK that I am posting on what looks like a UK forum.

To everyone dealing with this horrible disease, whether as the one diagnosed or someone close to someone diagnosed, my heart goes out to you, your loved ones and the caregivers.  It's HARD, and people die, but the circle of life does go on.  Peace and love to you all.
