Going home to New Jersey to say goodbye to my "Big Sis". She died Monday afternoon of Leukemia. It was just last Thursday that we spoke and she sounded great and she was working her way through the Chemo that everyone hoped would put her disease into remission. Saturday she was on a respirator and she died not long after. Cancer and all of it's mutations are a plague on humanity that has taken my Dad, one of my Uncles and now my Big Sister. It's just sad.

I will be gone until Sunday evening, so when I don't answer a post you'll know why.:salute:

Mine as well. With both parents recovering from their cancer, I know all too well the process and frustration. You're in my prayers.

Please let me join my condolences too Ed! May she rest in peace. Most of us have been affected by cancer in our families. It is an ever increasing disease that has taken a lot of good people, and it is just unfair.

Very sad to hear Falcon - keep going a day at a time.

Cancer is a bully... Lost my Mum and Dad to it within a year of each other but at least they're not suffering now.

Best,

Dave :salute:

My sincerest condolences, Falcon. I've lost a wonderful aunt, three terrific uncles, and one of my closest friends and fellow science geek pals -thinking of you, Gary, always - to the damned thing. Hate cancer with a passion.

I never know what to say in these situations

There is no emoticon that can explain how I feel for you during the loss of your sister.

Just picked this up Ed. My thoughts are with you and your family. I used to be a haematologist years ago so I know what an absolute bastard leakaemia can be.

Sorry to hear of that Falcon.. Cancer has claimed 3 people in my family as well. I can echo the sentiments on it being a plague on society. It certaintly is terrible in that it is seemingly hit or miss on whether you can treat it or not. May she find peace though, and I hope you have safe travels.
