Cindy

[jane65]

I saw on another OVCA website tha Cindy is no longer seeing visitors, and is receiving a lot of pain med. May her journey be gentle, and her family have peace.

It's been on my mind, but I've been afraid to ask, why is there so much pain associated with end stage OVCA?
I guess it's common with all end stage cancers, but It's the terrifying part.....Jane

Cindy,  I don't even know what to say except I'm very sad.  I know everyone misses your posts and your friendship on this board.

May God take care of you and your family at this time, and I hope you are pain-free and peaceful.

Cindy had a rough journey from day one.  In fact, one of the roughest I've ever heard about.  God Bless and give Cindy peace and may she be free of pain. Her contribution to this community has been huge.

My heart goes out to Cindy, and family. May God hold you in the palm of his hands, and bring you soft and silent peace. The road has been long, but you kept on climbing. I picture that climb ending on a quiet mountain top. Closer to God , waiting with open arms to be lifted to his home. No more struggles, nor pain, Just peace at last.  
God speed Cindy

Jane you are right. Cindy is no longer receiving visitors. It was becoming too stressful on both her and Howard and she is on so much pain medication that she is pretty much just sleeping now.
  I also pray that her journey be quick and gentle.

  You also brought up a good question Jane. One that I know many of us have thought about, just never asked. I guess that we have enough fear in us just dealing with the cancer and not ever really knowing what will happen and when, that we don't want to talk about what it will be like. You are right, it is terrifying to think about. We can only hope that with medical advances that it will be as easy as possible for us.

That is good information to know, thank you.

My mom wasn't in terrible pain at the end.  Once they gave her a combination of xanax with morphine, she just slept for the last 2 days.

It varies from individual to indiviual I guess. My father too have advanced cancer before he passed away. Fortunately, for him, there is little pain and he just 'sleep away' as he is so tired most of the time.

My Dad had cancer through his liver and bones and lungs but didn't have so much pain. I don't know why it varies from person to person. When it gets to that stage there are so many meds available to make the transition easier.

I agree - let's hope and pray her journey is gentle. I like that term, like being bundled in a soft blanket and being held close by the people you love.
