I"m so scared I think mom's gonna die and she's too young to die right now. She's in the hospital ER right now. She has a tumor on her ovaries which we don't know if it's cancer yet, and appendicitis. They are gonna operate on one but they don't know which one. And they said the tumor on her ovaries is huge!

All this and she also had lumps on her breasts that she was suppose to get checked out. I never heard what those were either.

Seriously I am very worried about her right now. If she dies I don't know what I'll do. She's one of my only support in my family who doesn't judge me for my bi polar. If she dies I'm gonna lose it! I just can't take the heart break from that!

Dont give up on her they can do amazing things with surgery.My ant had 2 brain tumors and had them removed and she survived.

Just be their for her but try to not let it trigger you.You may have to see your pdoc early if you are sruggling.((((((hug))))))

No it is definitely a tumor they thought it was a cyst too but it turned out to be a tumor. I don't even know how they found it but all I know is I'm worried , she could die especially with appendicitis. Poor thing she was also sick with the flu and yesterday she was throwing up and stuff. But I never imagined all this was going on! If she dies I don't know what I'll do. I'll lose my mind because I love her so much!

I am so sorry to hear this. She's in the right place though with all that's going on.

Take this one step at a time and don't jump to any conclusions. My mother has been on deaths door several times and keeps on coming back strong. I was thinking the worst just like you are and all it did was make it worse. I know it's extremely difficult but right now she needs all the positive energy you can muster. I hope it all works out and remember to take care of yourself through this,maybe you can call your therapist? Good Luck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you every one! I feel a little better. My mom's boy friend keeps telling me it's not as bad as it sounds and that she's gonna live. I hope he's right, It sounds really bad to me but I have hope that she will live. I just can't think about what would happen if she dies!

Hi doorknob,

I agree with what everyone is saying. Don't let the fear get the best of you. Love is more power than fear and we are sending our love too. Only allow yourself to think about the things you are doing or feeling or smelling at that exact moment, one step at a time, only the present if your mind is racing with "what ifs" and worst scenarios. Also concentrate on deep breathing, inhaling through your nose and then exhaling through your mouth slowly a few times. This always helps me relax a little.
Our prayers are with you and your Mom. God speed for her recovery. Praying now...
