Rob Sekeris' wife Relay for Life

It's hard to believe it's been 5 months since I lost my sweet, amazing man =
after a year long valiant battle to cancer. Last year Rob walked the victor=
y lap at the Relay for Life as a survivor. This year myself and my daughter=
will be walking in his honour and his memory.

Last year we walked and raised funds while hoping and praying for a cure to=
save Rob. This year we walk hoping and praying for a cure to save other fa=
milies from the enormous loss we suffered, perhaps your family.

I post here because so many of your honoured Rob last year while he was sti=
ll fighting by sponsoring us and your support meant so, so much to him. I h=
ope some of you will be able to honour his memory with a donation this year=
again. Every dollar counts.

I continue to miss Rob every moment of every day, my life will never be the=
same.

Blessings,
Angela

Thank you for asking us, Angela. It's an honour.

I know the pain will never disappear, but it will get easier to bear.
Remember to laugh. I'm sure Rob would want you to.

Yes, the chances are slim, but you can still fight. My step father
had stage 4. Five years later he died of kidney failure, not lung
cancer, at the age of 75. Oh, he remodeled my kitchen in the
meantime.

Thank all of you who have honoured Rob's memory with your donations. It's s=
o easy to see why this place and all of you held such a special place in hi=
s heart, and now mine.

I will be walking a lap specifically for each of you and those past and fut=
ure in your lives, who will be touched by this brutal disease.

Forever missing my sweet man,
Angela :(

Glad to help. I had a close call recently with my wife. Cannot image
how your life has changed.

Just found out that a good friend of mine was diagnosed with Stage 4 in both
lungs. Unfortunately, the reality is that the prognosis is very dim for
these people. No real fight. I watched my sister-in-law go through the
"fight", but the fact of the matter is that there is just no fight. As
cruel as it sounds, there is no fighting this stuff. It just sucks.

Yup - there are some rare occurrances like your step father. They are the
people who make the average extend out to 18 months upon diagnosis. They
are just the rare ones. Glad you had that extra time with him.

Thank you for the support, but I am afraid that the prognosis is fairly
grim. However, she has a remarkably strong character. She is on a 2 week
cycle of chemo, of which one week is pretty tough. However, for that
second week, she enjoys whatever she can cram into the few days that she
has strength to move. An inspiration to the rest of us.

cheers...

Happy to help Angela. I've lost both parents and a close friend to
cancer, so I understand your pain.
