Hi all,

For those of you who haven’t read other posts, my dad passed away on Feb 19th. He had just finised his second round of clofarabine and was pretty much in remission. We were waiting for his counts to come back up. The doc figured another 2 weeks and he’d be home. Unfortunately he got an infection and developed complications with his heart and kidney (he only had one). From the time we got the good news until he died it was a mere 3 days. He know what was happening and my brother, my mom and myself didn’t leave his side for a minute. It was the longest and shortest 72 hours of my life. We got to share a our feelings and to thank him for being such a fighter and a great dad and husband. His last words were that he would love us forever. We all held him as he drew his last breath. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever been through. I’m so grateful that my family shares such a closeness, that there were no regrets and nothing left unspoken. I don’t know that I’ll be back on the boards very much but I want you all to know that I’ll keep you in my prayers. Make sure you tell you family how much you love them every day! Feel free to email me if you have any questions on the clofarabine treatment my dad had. Peace to all…Cheryl
