    Hello all. 

    Thanks for the endless support and advice. This board was so helpful in learning and planning for Scott's treatments as well as emotional support.

    Scott passed on August 30th, Friday AM at 10 AM.  I was there with him and it was OK.  Peaceful and easy.  He was not afraid and he was accepting of the situation.  I know he is free now.

    Hello all. 

    Thanks for the endless support and advice. This board was so helpful in learning and planning for Scott's treatments as well as emotional support.

    Scott passed on August 30th, Friday AM at 10 AM.  I was there with him and it was OK.  Peaceful and easy.  He was not afraid and he was accepting of the situation.  I know he is free now.

    He was so strong, always working towards the next treatment, never complaining.  But the cancer had taken it's toll and it was time for him to be rid of that body.  We will all miss him dearly, but I know he is much happier now and that we will meet again.

    Keep up the fight all.  As time goes on things get much better.  Better treatments, better chances. 

     

    God Bless, Lisa (wife of Scott)

      Lisa, I am so very sorry for your loss, I know you will miss Scott, I hope the good memories of your life together sustain you in the months ahead. You both put up a good fight, you should be proud of yourself as a wonderful caregiver and wife. You are an amazing woman, having the courage to care for Scott, having the wisdom to know it was time to let go, and having the sense of peace that it was meant to be and he is in a better place. I wish you God’s Blessings, and take good care of Yourself! Valerie (Phil’s wife)

      Lisa, I am very sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for taking the trouble to let us know.

      I can't believe that it was only 6 weeks ago that Scott decided to stop treatment and now he's gone already. To me that means that you and Scott fought melanoma successfully to the very bitter end. You didn't give up too soon. What a scrappy pair you were!

      I am glad that Scott's passing was peaceful and that you were able to be there with him. You were a wonderful and loving wife to him. I hope you have loving family and good friends you can turn to for help and support during this difficult time.

      Lisa,

      Always a sad post to read and my heart sinks to know that Scott has passed away.  Your love and devotion to your husband was so transparent as you dedicated yourself to finding  the best care and treatments for him.  You gave so much in such a short amount of time and I can't help but feel that Scott  knew how lucky he was to have you by his side to face this battle together.  May the love you shared together in this journey, comfort you now and bring you peace in the days ahead.  Blessings to all of Scott's loved ones.
