I posted this in my other thread, but thought it would be better to start a new one. So many thanks to those whose posted in response and tried to help. The last 48 hours have been a nightmare. It was so obvious to us that was something was seriously wrong with my husband, Mike, and Friday evening I called 911 to have him taken to the hospital. No more second-guessing. After hours of tests in the E/R he was finally admitted. My heart was already broken -- hearing him say 'Oh God, I'm dying' was torture on top of torture for me and our sons. Early Saturday morning we got a call from the doctor treating him who gave us the devastating news: a CT scan revealed a 'large mass' that was bleeding into his skull. After dealing with folks from our local hospice (Agrace), we had him transferred there in the evening. I was back this morning and he woke up enough to respond and grasp my hand. From there on out, he was given several rounds of morphine as he was in obvious pain. Later, when the nurse and CNA's changed his bedding and inserted a catheter, we were told it was possible he might stop breathing. Five minutes later, he was gone. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this hospice and the care he received in his short time there. Again, I want to thank everyone for your kindness - dmt1121 especially - and to keep on fighting. Never again do I want to see anyone go through what my husband has these last five years; sadly, however, I know I will.

When my time comes, and it will, I hope I can go in 3 days or less. I've seen too many of us suffer for months after 5-10 years of battling this horrible disease. Sorry for your loss and all the fight that went before. We all feel the loss of another brother in this APc family. God bless you.
I’m so sorry about your loss. Strange I just wrote about a similar case tonight. I fell at home at was rushed to the ER where after a CT. they found a very large mass in my head. It was larger than a golf ball but smaller than a tennis ball. I was lucky and it came out unattached I one pull the doctor said. I’m starting to think more should have CT scans looking for tumors.
Again I’m sorry for your loss I know it’s hard. I lost my Dad last year to this horrible disease. Prayers for you and your family
Thank you for the strength and courage to allow us to be part of Michael's journey. Each of us holds a piece of him with us now as we continue on. You were a blessing to him. An incredible example of love to your sons. In all now that this is over.. hopefully there is a piece for all of you.
Oh Genny....my heart is so broken...there are no words to express my feelings for you at this difficult moment. How blessed you were to have those last moments with Mike. Brings back my heartache and recent loss and fears...love be with you and Mike. No more suffering ❤️🙏
I am so sorry. I can’t imagine what you must be feeling. I am so sorry for immeasurable loss. We never know what struggles are coming. I wish you a measure of peace and the strength to be everything you’ll need to be for yourself and your boys. My deepest sympathies.
Thank-you, SuppWife and to everyone else who responded to my post. I feel as though I have been in some sort of strange time warp these last few days -- hard to describe. Supp: we sound so much alike: our twin sons are 22 and Mike was almost 13 years older. We had planned to do something special for our 25th anniversary in July, but now I will have to find some other way to celebrate the occasion. Peace to all and keep on fighting for yourself or your partner. Genny
I said I can’t imagine what you’re going through but as you might guess I’m afraid I do indeed imagine it. The fear of it rarely leaves me since his diagnosis almost a year ago. Our stories are so similar. Feel free to message me anytime.
My sincere sympathy and prayers for you and family. Glad that he was able to grab your hand. That must his way of saying goodbye. I also pray that he is now with the Lord.
Michael from the Hebrew name מִיכָאֵל (Mikha'el) meaning "who is like God?". This is a rhetorical question, implying no person is like God. Michael is one of the archangels in Hebrew tradition and the only one identified as an archangel in the Bible.
May Michael grasp your hand in love forever. God Bless Michael, you, your family and your friends.
This is so difficult. My heart breaks for you. Dad died on March 2 2019. Every day all day I think about him. It’s like a movie I can’t stop watching. I don’t want to let go. God be with you and bring your comfort. My heart is with you.
So sorry for your loss. We’ll light a candle for Mike. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
