This video is being posted by Maria's Dad. It has been a long haul for the family since Maria's passing on February 11, 2023. To say that we have been on an emotional roller coaster only begins to tell the story. This video was created by Maria's Older Brother and I (AKA the BikingOldMan) about a month ago after the Pan-Mass Challenge riders passed our home. The PMC is a major bike-a-thon that ...

      Apparently you didn't read the above comment from her brother. He stated Maria passed away. And , to answer your question, everyone has their own reasons for how they deal with terminal illness. Some find it helpful to create a network of followers who support, pray, and relate to an individual's journey. There is no right way to face one's challenges. You stated: "im a survivor and never gave it a thought to tell my experience"; and albeit short, you did just share your story on social media. We should never judge. Feel blessed, but also remember to pray for those who are suffering.

      My dad just died of pancreatic cancer 6 days after diagnosis. It was an awful death. He wanted to go home, but his pain was much greater than what could be handled with the oral pain medication that you get with in home hospice. We took him home and tried because we had no idea what to expect, but had to get help from a residential hospice on his last day so that he could get some relief. I am so sorry that you fought this beast and ultimately lost the fight. I guess that I can only be thankful that his battle was short lived.

Dobry kochający Bóg ma w swej pamięci zmarłych i w wyznaczonym czasie wybudzi ich ze snu śmierci bo oni na razie śpią snem śmierci ! ! Da im zmartwychwstanie ! Przeczytaj w Biblii Księgę Izajasza rozdział 26 wiersz 19 ! Ludzie którzy w tym czasie będą przy życiu już nie umrą ! Przeczytaj Ewangelię Jana rozdział 11 ! Jezus tam o tym mówi ! Możemy zacząć dać Biblii bo to jest Słowo Prawdomównego Bez ha do nas ! Biblia nie kłamie ! I po to Jezus umarł za nas żebyśmy uwolnili się od grzechu i śmierci . Mówi k tym apostoł Jan w Ewangelii Jana rozdział 3 wiersz 16 . Bóg chce nam pomagać dać z powrotem życie wieczne które utracili Adam z Ewą . I Jezus złożył okup za nas żebyśmy mogli żyć wiecznie bez śmierci chorób cierpień . Taki świat obiecuje Bóg w Biblii w Objawienie Jana rozdział 21 wiersz 3:5 . Czytaj !!! Uwierz !!! Zaufaj Bogu !!!

    Thinking of your sister & family. Cancer showed up for our family in 2021. It was a fast traumatic experience. Maria’s first video is important. I wonder if the US government or EPA or medical universities are tracking the types of cancers and environmental causes. In our case it was not genetic so we are focusing on exposures to solvents, pollution,air fresheners, mothballs, etc

    So sorry for your sweet sisters/friends passing. I was just told I have stage 4 lung with 3- 6 months to live if I do nothing. With treatment, I'd have to wait and see if it is shrinking the cancer "working" so to speak. But in the end, I was told no one really knows - it's a guessing game a roll of the dice. Now, I asked up front what the most I might get to live PLEASE "Don't sugar coat it!" and was told the 3- 6 months. I feel your sister received false hope, did she realize or know just how bad her cancer was? ♥
