Book Of Likes Faces

This depressing topic is eating at me, but lately am I seeing a lot of ladies posting "My person just died". Our men seem to be dropping like flies faster than their grandparents did.Love them while you have them! My husband of 18 years was diagnosed with rectal cancer. It was horrid. But he survived, just barely. Tons of complications-sepsis, C-Diff, blood clots, an ostomy. We had a few really good years and then found that the cancer metastasized to his lungs and his brain. Huge tumor on the cerebellum that required surgery. He'd just taken a job working on Blue Origin, the rocket that Bezos was funding. He was a brilliant engineer. His prognosis was decent until they found "at least" 12 more tumors and lesions in his brain that were not able to be treated surgically. Radiation rendered him unable to walk. Chemo for the lung cancer made him so sick. I was his caregiver for a long time and it was my honor to be able to do it, but it was exhausting and it wore me out in a way that I can't possibly describe. I'm 56 and feel like I've aged 20 years in the past few years. My husband died about a year and a half ago after a really long fight to stay alive. You never really think it's going to happen until it happens. And it's so much worse than you think it's going to be. He was my best friend and I miss him with my entire soul. Remember everyone, get medical check ups regularly! #healthcare
