To do what I can

My wife had an open wound that would not heal on the bottom of her right foot. It was melanoma that killed her. I will do what I can to kill it.

While I was still in the wheelchair because of spinal damage caused by the cancer that committed suicide by attacking me, my wife was invaded by a melanoma which appeared on the bottom of her right foot. It was formally diagnosed in February of 2005 and she fought it for a year and a half. We, both of us and the cancer team of London Health Sciences, thought that it was beaten in August of 2006 but it made a comeback. On Sep 5, my birthday, a day which I no longer celebrate, I took her to the hospital where she died on Oct 15, 2006. I was with her in that room for the last 37 days. I hope it helped her.
