Angie sounds like a wonderful lady, and a strong person. I'm not sure how I would react if I was diagnosed (probably curl up in a ball or go on a self pity bender), but for those who are able to continue to go on with life knowing the percentages of a return, you have to shower these people with respect and awe.

I had a large Melanoma removed from my neck, still have the scar and it took 2 surgeries + a radiated patch sewn under my skin, but all is well now. I am so thankful that it hasn't recurred in the last 19 years and don't know how I could have handled it if I would have needed chemo treatments. As was stated, cancer has touched everyone's lives in some way and it is almost never in a good way. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

hey joe 16 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Angie was a wonderful lady, and my wife and I are really going to miss her. We met her in person a few years ago, and she visited us at our house in Cebu City and attended several of our wedding anniverary parties that we hold every July. She was a very courageous lady who never seemed to get too far down even with trials and tribulations of fighting that damn cancer. Rest In Peace, Angie. Mithzie and I will always fondly remember you as a good friend and a very special person, and we will at least take some comfort in knowing that your suffering has at last come to an end and that you are now in a better place. May God Bless You. - - - - John 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Headshot 29,349 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I went to Angie's funeral today. Angie had lost a lot of weight since I last saw her, so I would guess the cancer had progressed. I met with her daughter, and she thanked me for coming. The funeral was well-attended, but it was mostly all Filipinos. With as many foreigners as have been touched by this lady, it saddened me to be the only representative of LinC Forums there. The only other foreigners there (that I saw) were a guy I know from RAO (and his wife), but neither are members of the LinC Forums. Link to post Share on other sites

Daisy 444 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) Angie's long battle of the big C will always be remembered in this forum. I know that it would be safe for me to say that after the news was brought to her family, this forum became her anchor. It was an effort worthy of emulation, and I salute you guys for answering to that call. I'm so saddened knowing that I never have the opportunity to meet her in person but I am consoled believing that she is now in a much better place, where pain is a stranger. Rest in peace my friend and my prayers for your daughter, Nina. GODSPEED!!!! Edited August 3, 2012 by Daisy 2 Link to post Share on other sites
