My Son's fiance, not good.

Some of you may remember me telling you about my son's fiance, Stacy, who found out she had cancer by going to the emergency room. Well, she has gone threw the chemo and radiation and after all that, they saw some masses on the liver & pelvic region. So today they did surgery at Mofit, thinking they'd remove masses, maybe part of the liver, maybe a hysterectomy and maybe a colostomy. But when they got in there it was so bad, I guess, they just closed her up. Said they had never seen someone in such bad shape yet seeming so healthy on the outside. The cancer is spreading so rapidly.
She's so young, only 24. Had her wedding dress bought, was ready to get married and have kids. Her whole life ahead of her....gone....probably not enough time left to do much of anything.
So sad. Can't imagine how she feels. Can't imagine how my son feels. I feel so helpless, wish I could do something. But it's one of those things that's out of our hands and powerless over. I hate this.
Say some prayers for them please.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers.
I know this sounds selfish, but I'm so worried about my son. I'm afraid he's just gonna give up on life and go over the deep end, drinking, drugs etc. This is gonna be one of the hardest things he will ever go threw and I'm praying he has the strength and stamina to be there for Stacy and not distroy himself in the process.
Thanks again everyone.

Your right, the last time we posted about Stacy she just had her first surgery. They didn't give her a hysterectomy and that is something they normally always do when ovarian cancer is concerned.......so we thought that to be a very positive sign. The doctors felt confident that they could get the remaining cancer with chemo.  The doctors said yesterday they had never seen a cancer grow so fast while the patient was on chemo. I'm now wondering if trying to spare her reproductive organs wasn't a death sentence for her.  
Stacy went into surgery yesterday prepared that she might wake up with a hysterectomy. That alone was hard on her knowing she might never have children, but to then wake up and be told your dieing and quickly............I can't even imagine.
We all feel so helpless.
Thank you all for all your thoughts and prayers.

Whenever I read stuff like this I always picture myself in that situation, it's so I can get a feeling for what is occuring. I feel so terribly sorry for her and your son to have to go through this. And you, dear. I just have to envision you sitting with your head down wondering why...
I will send my prayers and thoughts out to you and yours. Perhaps, though, you can find something positive in this? I know at this point it is next to impossible, but at least to focus on something. Bring them closer together, and intensify feelings, no doubt.

I am so very sorry for your future daughter in law, your son, you, and your entire family.  My daughter was the very same age when she died, to this day it is so very hard to wrap my head around how on earth it was possible for someone so young and just a few months, prior so very healthy, to die of cancer.  

Any words I may try to say are so very hollow compared to the grief your family is feeling......or for your  pain of being strong, while waiting for the inevitable.  I can only offer you my friendship, my experience and please know if you ever want to talk I am here for you and I truly understand your pain, anger, the multitude of emotions you are feeling.

Hold her closely, and your son.... the night is so very hard,  they do not want to sleep as to not to miss one minuteof life.  Surround yourself with your sisters,  your family, and cherish every moment and memory as the days pass.  My heart aches for you and yours, I am so very sorry.  The circle of life was not meant to be this way.  

My heart, thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

magi i do remember you telling us about her, but I thought it had turned out to not be something serious after a huge scare. I must not be remembering right, and Im very sorry to hear the grave news on her condition. That has got to be so horrible for everyone, she is so incredibly young! Its not fair for her to be robbed of her entire future at such a  young age =(  
prayers for her and your families
