8 years ago today, my husband Bobby died from lung cancer. 8 yrs ago at
this very moment, they were working on him. It was a Sunday morning. We
had been inpatient for a month. I slept on a cot in the room. That last
week he had turned jaundice but after liver scans that showed nothing,
they decided to do a scope procedure called an E.R.C.P. to go down and
look beyond the liver into the common bile duct and the gallbladder.
They came to get us, we rode down the elevator to the GI Lab, which was
closed to the public on Sundays. Outside the lab door, we kissed, said I
love you and they wheeled him back, his stretcher in an upright
position. He smiled and waved at me as they wheeled him thru that
doorway backwards. I sat in the GI lab waiting room with my mother in
law and my best friend. Roughly 30-40 minutes later over the P.A. system
comes, "Code Blue GI Lab, Code Blue GI Lab". Every thing felt like it
drained out of my body. I jumped up as did my girlfriend to try to see
if it really was him. We did believe we were the only ones in the lab.
People came running from all over, pushing a crash cart, etc. We called
our church and they stopped the service, explained what was happening
and they prayed. We called my parents church and they left in mid
service. By the time they got there he was gone. They never got him
back. It was "called" at 11:24 a.m. I was able to see him, and sat with
him an hour or so waiting for the funeral home to arrive. More friends
and family arrived. They told me that they had just started when he
coded. That felt it was the morphine and verced they gave him to relax
his gag reflex that had caused his heart to stop. Cancer and chemo
weaken the heart. We didn't know that that goodbye was really goodbye.
Now, I'm glad I didn't know. So, that is that story, for many who have
asked. 8 years....seems like yesterday and yet another lifetime ago.

Much Love , thoughts and prayers to you

Cancer is the killer, and it is also the victimizer.
The doctors give the patients chemotherapy to buy them time knowing full
well that is what it does..... buy time.

However,they fail to tell you that probably the heart will stop or
pnuemonia will set in from staying in bed. So, liquid builds up,and the
heart stops. When, my mother died of lung cancer, they did not tell me
the outcome. They simply told my mother she was going to die. I heard
her sobbing many nights.

Do you know what it is like to watch your mother suddenly give up, not
wish to be here anymore, but yet want to live, but can't eat? It does
something to you for the rest of your life. You never forget.

My husband did not die of cancer, but my mother and father did. It is
just about the same.

Prayers for you Auburn
