Yesterday, I lost my soulmate, Juan, and my son lost his Papa. After 4 years fighting this awful disease, he reached the end of the line.
The pain is raw and recovering from both losing him after 30 years of marriage and the toll of being a caregiver for such a long period will not be easy. But it was my pleasure to care for him over these years through multiple surgeries, radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy and TIL. If I made it a little less painful and easier for him to cope with in any small way then my job was done.
I would like to thank everyone for the advice and encouragement. I see so much hope for the future with new treatments and progress every day, just too late for us.
good luck and god bless
Maria

So sorry… it seems lately this beast has taken several people on this board and Im at a loss for you, except to pray to God for strength. You have to be so tired. As hard as it is to go on, take some time for yourself and in time you will remember the old Juan, not the sick one. And someday you will meet again. -

Oh Maria!
My heart goes out to you and your family. If only hating this disease were enough to rid the earth of it….
May your heart find it's rest in Juan's love.
God Bless,
Julie
