I have been away from myLot for a long time. I just read some of the new discussions and I am happy to see that many of my old friends are still here. A lot of things have happened since I was here last time. Not good things unfortunately. My father was diagnosed with colon cancer, and he also had lung metastasis and liver metastasis. Chemotherapy helped him survive a little longer, but we knew that there was no cure. He died a couple of days after his last surgery. My mother was there when he died. My brother called me and my husband and I hurried to the hospital (in a different part of our island) but we didn't make it on time. He died 5 minutes before we got there. My brother had to drive much longer and he got there half an hour later than us, but at least my mother was there. He died in February, and the last months have been hard for all of us, but my husband and my friends have been a great support for me. My mother-in-law has been ill as well. She has many health problems. She has been in a lot of pain, and sometimes it got so bad that she had to call an ambulance. She has spent a lot time at the hospital this year, but the doctors weren't able to figure out what was wrong. She has another appointment later this month, and we hope that they will be able to help her this time.
