You and you’re family will be in my thoughts. I’d like to second what **Ruby** said. I hope your hospisce care givers are as considerate, passionate and knowledgable as those who were with us for my brother. They made things, not easier for us, but bearable, and they were there to lean on. Use them. ---

I can’t even imagine what your entire family must be going through. It just seems so unfair. Like everyone’s already said, you’ll be in my thoughts. I hope the Hospice at least helps make what may be your last holiday with your little girl one you’ll someday be glad to remember. ☹ ---

**Roadwalker** , my heartfelt sympathies go out to you and your family. Although I don’t know you, my wife’s sister lost her battle with cancer, and I know some of the things you may be going through, and I want you to know that everyone who has had to face this sort of thing is with you in spirit. If it’s too late to wish her health, then I can at least join in wishing her a reduction in pain. To everyone else, I would like to encourage anyone who is willing to, to register as a possible bone marrow donor. Not specifically because of my family or even **Roadwalker** ’s, but just because it’s a good idea. When my SiL was ill, one of the things the doctors wanted to improve her chances was a bone marrow transplantation - which is one common request in cancer cases. However, bone marrow is much harder to match than blood, but does not have many people registered - it does not get the attention that blood drives get. To type you, they just take a blood sample (so it’s no worse than donating blood). More information is available at The National Marrow Donor Program: [http://www.marrow.org/](http://www.marrow.org/) I hope that **Roadwalker** will forgive me for this little digression, but it’s something I feel strongly about. ---

I was just thinking about you folks the other day and hoping things were going well. Sorry to hear things aren’t as we all hoped. Feel free to e-mail me or IM if you would like to just get things off your chest. Your family is in my thoughts. ---
