EVERETT BAGBY

Everett Bagby became obviously ill in late February 2011 and to be exact, I took him to the doctor on February 21, 2011 because he couldn't breath well. His x-rays showed how entire right lung to be white on the x-ray. I knew this wasn't good before the doctor said a thing. The doctor said that he thought Everett may have pneumonia. I was suspicious of something worse from the beginning because i wasn't catching anything from Everett.

On March 3, we were given a firm diagnosis of lung cancer. Then on March 5 we learned it was adenocarcinoma to be exact. Adenocarcinoma especially in stage 4 which is the stage Everett had is not curable but treatable in most cases.

Everett took 3 treatments but the cancer continued to grow regardless. On May 27, Everett suffered a stroke. He lost partial use of his right side. He went to physical therapy to learn how to help me help him after he came home.

He came home on June 8. He was home for 10 days and passed away at 7 pm on June 18.

He is much missed but he is in a much better place than the rest of us here on earth.

RIP sweet Everett. I miss you and love you.
