Wife Just Diagnosed w/ ES SCLC - What Can We Expect?

Liz passed quietly in her sleep shortly after midnight. She was in no pain and I believe that she was ready to go, especially after everything she went through over the past several months. I want to thank everyone that was so supportive and it really did make it easier for us to adjust and accept the inevitable outcome. Her cancer was especially aggressive and I was so glad to hear of others who were able to beat or long-term manage their illness.

Bob, I know we all are very very sad to hear this even though it was expected. Our hearts go out to you and your children. I know you will hear from more of us today. Please take care of yourselves now. You took such good care of Liz. RIP Liz.

I am sad for you, your daughters and everyone else who knew and loved Liz, as death is difficult even when we expect it.
I am happy that Liz had such a loving and awesome caregiver and family to support her on this last journey.
Blessings to all of you. You are in my prayers as you grieve.

Oh, Bob. I am sorry that I didn't respond right away. I had surgery the next day and didn't turn on my computer for several days. Foot operations are very painful.

My heartfelt condolences for your loss of Liz and to your girls for the loss of their mom. Remember that the depth of your pain shows the depth of the love that you had for Liz. Don't let anyone cut that short or advise you otherwise. Do and feel what you and the girls need!

What a journey you and Liz had and what a nasty and evil thing cancer is and how much it takes from family and friends. I hope that as days go by that you will take some time for yourself. Grieving is very important and as very hard as it is, it's important to allow it to take place.

Don't second guess (which of course you will) what you said or did or didn't do for Liz.

My very best to you, Bob. I'm here if you need me but will be thankful that you get on with things that need for you to get on with you and the girls.

A very special hug to the three of you.

Merry
