MICHAEL'S STORY:
I WAS BLESSED WITH TWIN SONS OCT 5, 1971. MIKE AND ERIC. IDENTICAL IN EVERY WAY. ON HALLOWEEN 1997, OUR ELDEST TWIN MIKE, WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BRAIN CANCER. HE DIED 4 YRS LATER 10 DAYS AFTER HIS 30TH BIRTHDAY. IT HAS BEEN ONE YEAR SINCE HE LEFT. THE PAIN DOES NOT GO AWAY OR GET BETTER IN A YEAR LIKE I WAS TOLD. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. WHAT HE HAD TO GO THROUGH AND HOW HE DEALT WITH IT ALL I COULD NEVER DO. I AM PROUD TO BE HIS MOTHER AND BEEN THERE WITH HIM HIS LAST 6 MONTHS BEFORE HIS TUMOR TOOK CONTROL AND MADE HIM PSYCHOTIC AND UNABLE TO WALK AND STROKES, AND PNEUMONIA. AND ON AND ON. NO ONE WANTED TO HELP HIM. HE WAS PRETTY MUCH BLOWN OFF. MENTAL HEALTH FACILITY COULDNT DEAL WITH HIS CANCER NEEDS AND THE HOSPITAL COULDN'T (DIDN'T) WANT TO DEAL WITH HIS PSYCHOTIC EPISODES. UNTIL A WONDERFUL CANCER COUNSELOR HELPED US GET HIM INTO IN-CARE HOSPICE IN THE HOSPITAL. WHERE HE DIED 3 WEEKS LATER. I HURT STILL AND WILL NEVER GET OVER THIS.
CAN ANYONE RELATE AND MAYBE TALK WITH ME? THANKS FOR LISTENING. LINDA. A MOM
