jets24 6 Posted January 5, 2009 She was an awesome lady and a dear, dear friend. (34 C's) We were playing golf in September and her shoulder was bothering her. She put it off for a week or two and finally went to the doctor. It didn't seem like a big deal. Fast forward to her being diagnosed with bone cancer in November. They started to check everywhere else and found it in the kidney. This was in early December. She had her kidney removed in early December. Fast forward again to them finding it in her lungs and her brain. It was focking everywhere. Last week, a mutual friend said that she had just seen her and it didn't look good. I visited her on Saturday and today, Monday...she's gone. A very cool woman, 45 years old with a 6 year old and a 4 year old. She was the kind of woman who enjoyed a drink and enjoyed a compliment. If you said her butt looked good, she loved it. God Bless her. She will be missed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really sad, sorry to hear. I'm glad you asked Naomi. I can't believe I forgot to mention. She was a full blown smoker (two packs a day) for probably 20 years. That is 100% the reason for her cancer.

jets24 6 Posted January 5, 2009 So, what you're saying is, is that there's an opening in Management, then, right? She would have liked that. Actually, I'm a supervisor in the company already. Approximately 80 employees. She was the C.F.O. of the company so there is no room for growth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheNewGirl 1,031 Posted January 5, 2009 I'm glad you asked Naomi. I can't believe I forgot to mention. She was a full blown smoker (two packs a day) for probably 20 years. That is 100% the reason for her cancer. While I offer my condolences, saying that the smoking was 100% the reason is a little ludicrous, IMO. Different cancers affect us differently, and if the bone cancer was at Stage 3 or 4, there is pretty much very little they can do, especially if is metastasized to other major organs (kidney, brain, etc). Much research shows that once cancer reaches those stages, not even aggressive chemo or radiation treatments help much. A co-worker of mine was recently diagnosed with something eerily similar, and never smoked a day in her life. Granted she might be a few years older than 45, but to assume that the smoking was 100% reason for the cancer (I don't dispute that it wasn't a factor) just seems off, IMO. Again, I am very sorry for your loss. She does sound like a great lady. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, this is an internet message bored. It is not a court of law and I don't think that the NE Journal of Medicine is going to base any findings on jets24's postings. For you and TNG to give him crap about this part of his venting is definitely nitpicking and uncalled for. She is a twat and I expect that. I would expect more out of you.

jets24 6 Posted January 6, 2009 I didn't say that smoking is the 100% reason for cancer. I based it on what the doctor told her husband. He told her that it was absolutely because she smoked. It doesn't mean that people who don't smoke don't get cancer. I'm saying that in this case, the doctor confirmed that had she not smoked two packs a day for almost 25 years (approximately over 350,000 cigarettes in her lifetime), she would still be alive. Not sure why I need to explain it to TNG or JK but whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
