Winston Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Sorry to hear about that, but i think you should find a close friend or family member to have a talk to, and try to express your feelings, don't try to keep it in, try your best to be optimistic about it, because if you're not strong enough yourself, then who is going to be there to support your mum? Speak to her more, and do more things with her, that will get it off her mind, and if the doctor has any treatment suggestions, look into it, and support her all the way. I hope that things will improve for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no-sweat Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 ehhhh that blows.. the fact that she cried means nothing though, i think anyone would cry if they had cancer. i know i would... anyways keep in mind that many many people survive cancer was she a smoker? keep us updated with some details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widdowmaker Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 i know how it feels. i lost my grandpa to liver failure, and almsot lost my grandma to breat cancer. best she could do is get kemo to try to cure it, and when its tiny enough, cut it out and pray for the best. if its caught early enough she could jsut cut it out and be done with it. not sure what to tell you. it sucks. it really does, but if it helps, you get used to the idea of losing a loved one after you live with it long enough. which is sad in that it becomes easier to accept than to fight. good luck, im praying for you.

Hidea Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 My dad passed away last year. November 17 due to cancer. How early is your mom's cancer detection? Try going to cancer organization and inquire about steps you can do to help cure your mom. Cancer is treatable, it's not the end of the world while it's not too late. You have to think and act fast.

Cookie Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 not much i can say that others haven't already said so you, your mom and family all are in my thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidea Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I say no... the only way keeping you sane is by doing as much activity as possible... I went through a similar situation last year... it was hard on me, and my mom. PM me if you'd like to talk about things you should do or expect...

~WinGz~ Posted October 21, 2005 Author Share Posted October 21, 2005 from what i know it seems to be that they caught it late, but ill find out more in the next 24-48 hours as the test results come in, and while i was at work lastnight i broke down and cried to my boss, he told me if i need off tonight just call and say i need it and i can have off for 1-2 days if i need too, so prolly ima take that up and just spend time with my mom.

Skiver Veteran Posted October 21, 2005 Veteran Share Posted October 21, 2005 i think hidea has a point...if you try and hide yourself away then it isnt going to help...which is easy for me to say as i havent faced anything like this before...i can only repeat what others have said that you should try and be strong and support your mother...also im wondering...how is your sister coping through this...dont forget about her too...she is going through exactly what you are and together you might be able to pull up the strength to help you mother fight this thing...my prays go out to you and your family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidea Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 It's best if you fight this situation as a family... share the pain and the joy. I was very glad that my family all came to help my mom and me. our family friends too! one of my mom friends would sleep over in the hospital taking shifts watching over my dad. It will take time to digest the situation, it doesn't matter if it's too late or not, you should always make the attempt to get your mom to an onchologyst. Tell her to not anything that has protein in it. She needs to stop drinking/eating anything that is protein base. Protein will help the cancer cell to grow even faster/quicker. She needs to eat everything green. ANd if your mom is going to get chemo'ed, she'll need specialized meal/milk (I gave my dad Ensure). I hope the cancer hasn't spread that widely or hasn't spread at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramble Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Tell her to stop smoking. I seriously have little empathy for those who bring cancer on themselves by smoking anything carcinogenic. Good to see she hasn't got it though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted October 22, 2005 Veteran Share Posted October 22, 2005 I guess the prayers that some of us here on Neowin made for you actually paid off. I'm glad it isn't cancer. Now go spend more time with your mother and cherish the moments you have with her. You had just encountered a slip of fate and maybe that experience has taught you a lesson, a lesson that only you (and god) knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boffa Jones Veteran Posted October 22, 2005 Veteran Share Posted October 22, 2005 You are a lucky guy and same to your mother. Definetly make sure she never touches another cigarette. I wish my grandfather was as lucky. He is on his last legs with pancreatic(sp) cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psybapunk Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 wait, your first post made it seem like it was DEFINATELY cancer, your mom just walked in your room and busted out with "I have cancer." so she was jumping the gun on this whole thing, or you were?

koppit Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Wow she's so lucky to not have it. In all honesty she SHOULD stop smoking though, me mum lost half of one of her lungs to smoking and has had constant health problems since, including a tumor just outside her lungs.
