Diana FOUGHT w EVERYTHING she had! (update)

UPDATE: You always hear, "you never know what you have until its to late or until its gone." So you do everything in your power when face with something hard, like losing a  loved one to make sure you accomplish enjoying, cherishing, and making memories no matter how big or how small. In the end your still only left with a feeling; not a feeling of regret,  but a feeling of emptiness that is some how so full of questions. Asking yourself if you did enough, did you say enough or did you make her proud?  I know she loved me, but did she know how much I love her? Did she see in herself what the world sees in her? A warrior, a beautiful warrior at that. She was so full of strength, courage and a hue part of why I'am who I'am today and I'm sure others would say the same. She showed me strength when I wanted to run or give up and showed me courage when something was different, out of the normal and i was afraid of whatever change it might be. She never judged, held anger or resentment for any of the bad. She instead showed me she could love me as her own. At any given time I knew I could count on her to always have my back and always be in my corner cheering me on. 
                  Diana Batten, not just my mother in law she was honestly my other mom and we shared a friendship that probably most didn't underdstand. I will forever cherish and hold onto those almost daily late night talks we both couldn't wait to have on some days. Wether it was to talk about the kids, our day, plans for the week, goals and hopes for future or just cause we had a bad day and just wanted to complain. It was during these times I was able to learn so  much about Diana and so thankful I had the chance too. I will never be able to thank for it because that would take more than a life time to even begin to tell or show her. Time we just simply don't have anymore.  She gave and left me with the most wonderful and amazing gift that any one person could receive; her son Dillon. She loved him so much as she did his brother, her grandkids, the rest of the family and many other people. Their love was a love that had no limits and was(and is) unbreakable. She taught him to love hard, love big; to be kind and gentle, to have compassion and understanding but most of all how to be the perfect reflection of who she was. For that I'am forever thankful and blessed.
                    I have tried to find the words and the strength so many times over the last week to write this and never seemed to be able to get through it. There are no words to explain the sadness in my heart and hurt in my soul to wake up everyday, to write this update knowing that Diana Batten(Hum) has earned her wings and is flying high WILD & FREE. What little contentment I have is knowing she's not hurting anymore. She fought for 2 long years that honestly felt like a decade and she fought hard the whole time, never giving up not once. You always read after a person with CANCER passes on something to the aspect of "so and so lost their fight or battle with cancer today," but no not Diana. She didn't lose her fight or her battle, she instead won her fight and her battle. How you may ask because cancer CANNOT cripple love or shatter hope, cancer CANNOT corrode faith or destroy peace. It CANNOT kill friendship or suppress memories. Cancer CANNOT silence courage or invade the soul and finally cancer CANNOT steal eternal life or conquer the spirit. She will be forever loved and missed beyond belief.  She has touched so many souls and helped more people than she knew. Rest in peace Ma, watch over all of us and your grandbabies and save us all a spot for when our time comes! Until we meet again!
                   Anyone that would like to help with the cost of her services to give this amazing and b

eautiful soul the proper celebration of life and to lay her to rest would be greatly appreciated and anything left will go to any bills or expensive left behind that need to be taken care of while we grieve though the hardest time of our lives. If you can't donate then just sharing this page we will also be forever thankful for. Thank you in advance.

SHE NEVER KNEW HOW STRONG SHE WAS UNTIL BEING STRONG WAS THE ONLY CHOICE SHE HAD. Im making this page on behalf of one of the most strongest and bravest human beings I have ever met. I have had the blessing of being apart of her life for the last 10 years(hopefully as many more as possible); shes my mother in law Diana Batten (Hum). For those of you that don't know or haven't had any updates recently, i'll explain as much as I can. She was diagnosed with uterine cancer the summer of 2019. She had Uterine Leiomyosarcoma. This cancer is a very rare type of cancer that affects smooth muscle tissue and other soft tissue through out the body. Once we knew not much time was wasted and surgery was scheduled for a hysterectomy. She then had the surgery only to come home without complete joy and thinking she beat it and could continue her normal life that consist of being a mom, a grandma(geega), a friend, working a full time job and living her life to the fullest. But, instead she came home with the news that she needed to have some more imaging and a biopsy of her lung. Some time had passed that was filled with more tests and appointments that led to the day the doctor confirmed hers and family's biggest fear and said the dreadful words no one ever wants to hear, "the cancer was in lungs and now stage 4." Now time to start Chemo, time to add to the pages of her book of life and scared of the unknown but she gave it her all going into chemo but her body just wouldn't tolerate it. Her side affects where horrible and felt through out her whole body. At this time Chemo stopped and doctor thought she would do better on a oral medication that was a form of chemo. Some time had passed and the oral medication seemed to be doing the trick everything seemed to be at a stand still with the cancer and stayed that was for a decent length of time. It was the first time in a while life seemed almost normal. She spend her days in her garden, at home, with friends and some how always had some grand kids almost attached to her hip, back or any part of her they could attach too. It almost seemed to be to good to be true. Once again it was time for normal doctor appointment following up with results of a CT scan to see where the cancer stood. Caught off guard she and family would yet again hear the words no one ever wants to hear, " the oral chemo isn't working anymore, Cancer had metastasis to other organsplaces of her body. Granted it was small amount of it that spread and was considered slow growing at the time, it was now time to look at other options, other treatments, possible trials if any. Couple weeks had gone by waiting to hear of something she stated having some problems with vision mostly on one side so scheduled an eye exam never having a clue about what was going to come of what she and family thought was just going to be a normal exam. The eye doctor told Diana that there was a mass behind her eye that was believed to be part of the cancer. Next stop would be over to a specialist to follow up more on this mass and to find out forsure if it was cancerous or not. The specialist then had to say those few words no one wants to hear, "yes it was part of the cancer." Now scheduled for a procedure to had the pressure in her eye drained and to be able to exam even more. Well that exam confirmed the one mass again and only to follow with there was more then one. At this time Diana was physically having a hard time dealing with the emotions that came with all this but was being to have some issues with fine motor and scensary skills. My husband(diane's son), our 3 children and myself all live together for the 10 years I have known her, our kids have spent everyday of there life's with there Gegga) so having to watch was heart breaking and devastating not to mention felling scared and helpless, just wanting to take it all away and make her feel okay again. After about a week of fighting through all these side effects with everything she had in her it was finally time to go to the hospital to get some extra help and get her out of pain. That revealed pancreatitis and a 2 week hospital stay while she do a round of radiation and was beginning chemo again once a month. That was short lived the day before her 2nd round of chemo she had a doctors appointment. With everything being said we heard those finally devastating words ,"that it was time to get her comfortable at home." Scared beyond belief, full of emotions, not sure what to do just knew there had to be more this wasn't the end even though treatment wasn't working anymore there had to be something else. Diane wasn't and isn't ready to give up. This woman has so much strength and courage, its almost unbelievable sometimes. In these post few week we have all cried, laughed, reminisced,read & researched anything and everything possible and digging to find another option. Finally we found other medications and and some things to trial.   They had very successful results and outcomes of every kind, from shrinking cancer, stopping cancer growth and even curing cancer in some cases. This is all we have left to try. We have to give it a shot because any time prolonged and shrinking or reduction or even just slowing it down is a win for us. There is a protocol to follow with this product for the treatment of cancer and. It is a little pricey for the full treatment but her life is worth it. So we are reaching out to ask anyone that can help give her one last fight against this horrible disease and to help with any other expenses to cover things to boost her nutrition and hydration. Shes having a really hard time sustaining any nutrition or vitamins in her body so we are trying everything we can. If you cant help financially even just saying a prayer and share this page will mean the world to us. its a race against time. LETS GIVE HER THIS LAST CHANCE TO FIGHT WITH EVERYTHING SHE HAS IN HER!

Thank you in advance!
