When the Cancer became visible, she became a hermit, only staying home with her husband. Shortly before her death, she stopped breathing and my uncle called an ambulance. She was a skeleton from the waist up but with the belly of a 9 month pregnant woman. She either had severe liver Mets or also acquired ovarian cancer along the way. The end result was that she was unrecognizable and was in constant excruciating pain for the little time she had left. Her brother, the doctor, couldn't even recognize her in the open casket(??) and didn't believe it was her. She was 48 when she died but looked 98. I wouldn't recommend this course of action to anyone. I still have nightmares 30 years later. Please don't do this to yourself.Sharon Greenehttp://www.4timesandcounting.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
