Carol passed last night.... [View all]

I was holding her hand when she passed and told her that we would all be okay if she had to go. HEr blood pressure had dropped to very low levels and the doctors just couldn't get it back up. Thank you all for lending me an ear and support through this, and I will be here for you guys, too. I have been at DU almost since the beginning. When we found that Carol had cancer nine years ago, I used this very forum for support and information. I talked to a lot of good people, and I have lost a few of them, too. On-line friends can be just as real and supportive as real life friends. I weep for them just as I would for anyone I really care about. For those of you battling this disease, never give up hope, and pray we can someday find a way to conquer it.
