The metastatic liver, stomach, brain and lung cancer story you read below could well be from your next door neighbour.

And maybe all you knew was %26#34;that he was terribly sick%26#34; and %26#34;had been rushed to the hospital more than once%26#34;. But you don%26rsquo;t even have a clue how %26#34;terrible%26#34; terrible can get %26hellip;

Or you receive the announcement that your neighbour has passed away surrounded by his family battling a long lasting disease%26hellip;

We all heard about Ted Kennedy%26rsquo;s brain tumor and we saw him waving after coming out of the hospital and endorsing Obama, as if it%26rsquo;s all business as usual.

Images like this let us forget that cancer is a killer and that nothing looks like it seems once you or your loved one gets diagnosed with cancer.

That%26rsquo;s exactly what Sylvia points out when she commented at Please pray for Kathy%26rsquo;s liver metastasis:

I always used to hear cancer stories from other people.
But until you experience this on a personal level
you don not really grasp how terrible this disease is.

Sylvia%26rsquo;s brother passed away from cancer before his 40th birthday%26hellip;

Sylvia%26rsquo;s cancer story

Thanks for sharing Sylvia, our prayers, love and hugs go to you. Like you, father%26rsquo;s passing away from metastatic liver cancer is all but a closed chapter%26hellip;

My brother Heron went to the ER on 7/6/2008 for a severe headache.

He was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

A brain tumor that had developed from a tumor in the lung.

He had just turned 39 on 7/3/2008.

He went through brain surgery on 7/10/2008.

From there on cat scans , mri, radiation therapy to the brain area and more tests.

They found more cancer in the stomach as well as his liver.

He had one session of chemotherapy and never recuperated from it.

He passed on 9/2/2008.

I always used to hear cancer stories from other people. But until you experience this on a personal level you don not really grasp how terrible this disease is.

I still have not come to terms with my brothers death and how could he of died so quickly.

He survived less than two months once he was diagnosed.

He is terribly missed.

My prayers and thoughts go out to everyone out there who has experienced this.
