An update on my mom

nodp2day

Results are in and it's not good. Apparently her regular mammograms missed cancer and it has metastaticized. She has spots on her lungs, liver spleen, her bone marrow is permeated with cancer cells as well as the outside of the bone. Without treatment she has "months". If she accepts treatment she could have 1-3 years. She watched my dad go this way and says she will refuse. I am praying for God to give her strength and for myself to gain the strength to accept what is over what I want. She will be 78 Feb. 20th

She said not to worry... it is what it is. I love my mom y'all.

Oh Jim, I have been in your exact spot and the only thing I can say is that it simply sucks. I can't think of anything more eloquent to say.

You and your Mum are in my thoughts. And again, I'd like to say that you being sober is such an asset to bring to the situation and to your Mum, however long you have together.

((((Jim))))))

It is what it is, yes. And it is ok to cry, and feel so sad. I am so sorry-love and courage to you and peace as well.

damn sorry to hear that, my fiance's dad is going through the same thing right now. When I was told about my liver disease everyone thought I would trip, but I was like it is what it is and I have to just live one day at a time with it, if you get all worried the stress can actually cause you to have less time, so sounds like she has a great attitude towards it. In the meantime prayers.

It is just so terrible that the people who loved and brought us up grow old and die. But I bet you make her proud (cos worse to see the kids you brought up kill themselves before you yeah?)

Sending you warm wishes for minimal suffering. xxx

    I went to the doctor a while ago to see about my allergies. He rubbed my arm and stuck things under the skin. Nothing. He poked and prodded, his phlebotomist drew so much blood people thought that we were dating. The tests all came back negative. Then one day I went back and I told him that I had found the cause of my allergy.It turns out, I am allergic to betrayal.

    This isn't really bipolar related but there is never anyone on the parenting groups, this is the most active group I've been in.My 6yr old son has really bad seasonal allergies and they're in full force right now. He gets a terrible cough; he coughs all day and all night, making it hard for him to sleep, and his nose runs.I've tried every allergy medicine, OTC and RX, and none of them affect his...
