My poor beautiful mom died on Monday following her surgery Friday 11th to remove her cancer and remake using her stomach…the attached part of the stomach died and she was rushed back to theatre Sunday Lunchtime and had the dead tissue removed and her oesophagus brought out through a hole made in her neck but tragically after a massive fight she died 3.20am Monday…she had to isolate pre surgery so we only saw her from a distance in her garden for a few hours…I feel so robbed with time with my mom and she was only 60,I don’t know how I’m supposed to continue everyday life without her 

  • Hi there!

    I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Words can not explain the heartfelt sorrow that I feel about your loss. 

    It just reminds me how it could have all gone differently for my children. 

    Sending you virtual hugs during this sad difficult time.

    Regards,

My wife aged 61 has stage 4 esophageal cancer my mum died of luekememia when she was 53 so I truly understand the loss. I hope you have some family and friends to support you at this most difficult of times. Steve
