Now its my Mom
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!

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.

 . 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
VB
