Hey guys, havent been around much lately.
I don’t know if you remember, but I lost my Dad to cancer a year ago this June, he was 64. My Mom moved up from Florida to live near us, my kids were great therapy for her. She finally closed on her place and was getting settled this past September when we found out she too has cancer. It was in the colon, and then spread to the liver. She had surgery after Christmas to have the tumor removed, she started to recover but has been going downhill rapidly ever since. The cancer has spread in the liver and now into the stomach. She is in a lot of pain and was admitted to the hospital this week. They need to hit her with chemo asap. After seeing what my Dad went through, she really wants to know what chemo will get her. We are still waiting to find out what the doctor is suggesting. Its just not looking too good right now. I just don’t want to see her suffer. She is 62 and just like my Dad, exercised and ate healthy all her life. It is beyond bizarre that they both had this within a year of each other.
I’m not a religious guy, but your thoughts are appreciated. I feel like we have been in a daze for the last 3 years, first my Dad and now my Mom. Thanks for letting me get this out!

i am so sorry to hear about your mom. i will definitely keeper her in my thoughts and prayers!

RIJIMMY; my thoughts and prayers go out to your mom as well as you and your family. I too am currently undergoing chemo treatments and can tell you, it's not easy. I cannot offer you any advise as to the success of treatments in your moms circumstances as only her doctor, and you and she can decide that. I can say in fact that it's extremely important for her to have you and your strength to be her guidance and support. Be strong my friend.
I will be thinking of you.

rijim My thoughts with you. It's not fun. My dad is on the op table as I sit here.

Hope things work out.

Good luck & Godspeed to your mom. Be strong for your family and for her!

RIJimmy.....thoughts and prayers sent to you and your Mom....I wish you all the best. Keep your chin up!

:(. It seems that no matter how careful you are... no matter how well you watch what you eat, drink, whether you smoke or not.... your chances of getting cancer are still high. They say 1 in 4 people will have a bout with Cancer. There has to be a common denominator....

I wish you and your family all the best... I truly hope all goes well.

God, I hate reading stuff like this.
I am so sorry, I lost my mother at 62 years old so I can relate, My Dad also died 2 years after she passed.
I wish only the best for you and all your loved ones.
My only thoughts is that you should talk with her as much as you can.
Ask questions and remember all she has to offer.
Regards

My thoughts and prayers are with you.
2 of our family members are going thru the exact same as yours at this time.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, I know how you feel.

I lost my mom last year, she suffered for a long time.

At the end she said "I'm really tired, can I go now?" And all I could say was yes and that I loved her, and she was gone a few minutes later, peacefully.

So my heart goes out to you at this time of pain and I hope your mom and you get through this as easily as possible.

God bless her and I wish you's the best.

rij - thoughts and prayers - keep strong and pray for the best .

Scott - will keep your dad in thoughts also.

Id rather face a tiger myself than watch a loved one do it while I stood by unable to help. I hope you can find peace of mind as the time goes by.

A prayer is sent.

Prayer is powerful!

Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

Thanks again to all.
Update on my Mom, she is home from the hospital now, pain has pretty much gone away. She is going to have to go through 3mos of chemo and then they'll see if the cancer is reacting. The doc said there is hope so looks like the t&p helped. Thanks again.

Awesome, but we'll keep at it with the T & P.

Good news Jim!

Great news Jim - we all wish her continued success...

I will continue to keep her in my thoughts Jimmy. That's good news, but still a difficult road ahead.

Just being back home is therapeutic in itself.

Best of luck to you and your family.
