To anyone concerned, my friend Kenneth Sizemore has been battling lung cancer, among other ailments, for the past couple of years. At one point some months ago, the doctor told him that the cancer was gone and the treatment had worked. Then three months ago, he was having some issues and when they did a new scan, the cancer had come back and was pretty much everywhere in his body. For the last three months, it seemed the treatments were doing well even though he was in constant pain. I had spent weeks at Ken's place this past summer helping him clean up and finish some projects that he had started and hadn't finished. I had grown closer to Ken and his wife Julie and consider them both as close friends. Yesterday, Julie contacted me and told me that Ken had taken a hard turn for the worse and they were giving him extra pain meds to help him sleep and the doctor told her that he may not make it through the night. He had been in the hospital all of last week because he couldn't breath well. At around 10:00 AM this morning, Ken stopped breathing. He had a DNR in place and so there was no attempt to revive him. My heart goes out to his wife Julie and Ken's three children. I hope that God can ease the pain of Ken's passing. Ken was my best friend. I will miss him greatly.
