Thanks for everyone's support and for the kind thoughts and love sent Debbie's
way.
Unfortunately Debbie passed away at 2pm today, 9/9/09 at home with me by her
side.
At the time of her passing I was holding her hand, her favourite incense was
burning, and one of the Gawler tapes was playing in the background. Outside her
open window, we could also hear birds chirping so I am forever thankful that
the nurse who came earlier in the day told me how close she was to passing.
When she went, Debbie was pain free and simply stopped breathing. She was a
lovely lady who was able to gently leave this earth and I and many others will
miss her dearly.
So thanks again for the many words of encouragement and love. They have made
our final time together a little easier and I will always remember your
kindness.
I will stay in touch once my head is straight.
Until then.
Love and best wishes,
Bruce (and on behalf of Debbie for the final time)

Hi Guys,
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but my Debbie is in the worst of troubles
right now.
Over the last two months, Debbie's tumour markers have been going up, her pain
has significantly increased and her comprehension skills have reduced, so she
started another round of chemo 5 weeks ago using a chemical called Caelyx.
Unfortunately this hasn't worked and eight days ago, we were called to the
Maroondah hospital (where she was about to undergo the second treatment)
because her new blood test showed kidney and liver problems. As a result, Deb
was admitted to the hospital and I moved in with her.
During our 9-day stay there, Deb had further CT scans and these showed a new
brain tumour and a significant increase in other tumours throughout her body.
There was also brain swelling, arterial blockage and chest issues. As a result,
we were advised that no further treatment was possible and I should 'let her
go' in peace. Her doctors expect her to pass away during the next few days to a
week.
As a result, I have brought her home to be with the family.
Some of the treatments she has undergone have returned a lot of her faculties
so she can still recognise people and understand 'some' discussions'. As such,
we have decided to have a 'homecoming' party for her tomorrow, Saturday 29/8/09
at 1:30 pm at 9 Golding Court, Scoresby, Victoria (for those who may want to
attend and are able to).
We intend making it as happy as possible as we believe this will be the very
last chance for most people to say goodbye to the Deb they know and love (and
in keeping with the 'happy' theme, 'black' is banned). No presents, or flowers,
etc, just yourselves.
So, sorry to be the bearer of such bad news but I know Deb would want me to
tell you guys.
I still pray for a miracle but ...
Love and best wishes always.
Bruce (and on behalf of Debbie)
