GonneVille Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 dont waste time crying appreciate life and every happy moment. Young'n, there's reason we do it. It helps, and bottling it up does nothing but mess you up in the log run. Stuffing it down when you smash your finger with a hammer is one thing, but holding down that kind of grief can kill you.

verse Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 A classmate of mine from high school was diagnosed a year ago and she's doing great. What kind of cancer is it, if you don't mind me asking? Has it metastasized? It's breast cancer. She's had it 6 other times. Went through chemo since I was old enough to remember. They finally said it was gone like 3 years ago. Here it is and taking her life this time. She can hardly speak or use her right arm b/c it's spread so badly.

nickleyw Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Your mom is strong if she's already fought this 6 times and won. Yes, it sucks that it's come back again, but you need to be the kind of supporter your mom was for you! Give her the energy she needs to pull through again! Prayer heals, and your family will be in mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IVRINGS Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I'm so sorry to hear about this. I lost my grandfather and my gramps(stepgrandfather) both to cancer. One I never really got to know cause I was so young, but for my gramps I was rushing to see him before he left us, and I was the first to find him passed away in his room. The nurse didn't close the door as she left, and let me pass her to find him like that. I will never forget that I lost him like that, but I did get to really talk to him on a deep level before he passed the week before about taking care of my grandmother. So I feel for your loss, but we know she is in a better place looking down on you. Also she will get to see your sons first T-down for sure, but you got to tell him to look up after he does it. Cause she will want to see his face when he does it. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryBMW Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 My mom went in today and the doctors said there's nothing they can do now. We'll be lucky to have her until Christmas. I hate this. I feel like my lungs have been ripped out my chest and I can't breathe. I'm only 23 years old, she's supposed to be there until my kid is 23, not just me. I had a very similar situation rip open my life in Feb 2007. My mother was diagnosed with cancer on Jan 10th and spent the next 3.5. weeks in the hosiptal. She celebrated her 31 year wedding anniversary with my father sitting upright in a hospital bed. When they let her come home in the second week of Feb she was almost back to normal and we were advised she had up to a year. On the 16th she collapsed, and refused to go back to the hospital saying she wanted to die at home with her family. There really was nothing more the hospital could have done as they actually escalated her condition (whole other story; really not in the mood to get into) so we waited with her saying out last words until the 17th of feb when she passed. There is not a day that goes by that I dont think about and missher. I was extremly close to both my parents, but I normally saw my mom more due to her nurse work schedule. I cried then, and sometimes still do. Hell, reading this thread made me tear up. There is nothing wrong with it, and you are obviously not alone. Keep your head up and remember all the good times. Know she is with you and will always be watching. I find it hard to believe sometimes but then there are times that I need to believe that. I'm sorry for your loss and you and your family are in my thoughts. -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
