Thoughts for my Mom

The Doc is ordering more tests and will go in with a scope to see if the tumor has masticated to any other organs. If not the decision to remove is simple despite her recent heart attacks. If it is into other organs it will greatly complicate matters. I thank all for the positive thoughts and prayers.
 
I wish you the best of luck, I cannot imagine what must be going thru you, your mom is in my thoughts.
 
Best wishes from this side of the planet. As somebody said, be positive, people do beat this nasty stuff.

I sit at home mostly...doing nothing but letting this forum and a few others help occupy my mind, spend time at my parents, cook food she loves...her appetite
is still good at least...
 
The roller coaster. I learned to hate the roller coaster of waiting, encouragement, fear, sorrow, more waiting, an encouraging sign, test results, waiting some more, and on it goes...

I learned to hate the roller coaster but also understand it. This awful waiting is so, so hard, isn't it? But I learned that all that time spent waiting is necessary - even if you don't think it is - for your mom to sort out her feelings, and for you to sort out yours. Try not to hate the roller coaster and just accept it as time needed for everyone involved.

With me it was my dad. The situation with my him didn't end well, but a similar one with my mom did. I pray that your mother's situation turns out like my mom's. She's 81 and still going strong.

Please write and let the folks here know when you want to talk. And don't feel guilty if you don't feel like talking.

I hope you know that Bryan and I will include you and your precious mom in our prayers often.
 
All the best wishes to you, your mom and your family Absintheur. Thoughts and prayers to you and your mom.
 
Prayers and blessings from San Diego.
 
Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers. We got some results back today and it looks like while most of the organs are clear of the cancer, it appears to be into her lungs. We will know more tomorrow...
 
May GOD bless you and your Mom. There a terrific amount of knowledge and skill in Doctors today...God gave them that ability. Rely on Him and trust in their skills. That is easy to say but its the best I can advise.
 
Stay positive for here.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
 
The news just came from the doctor's office, The cancer in her lungs is a different type than that in her stomach, a much nastier type and very likely to spread. It already encompasses an area that makes chemo or radiation therapy out of the question, either will kill her. Also surgery has been ruled out as the survivability would be extremely low. Basically there is nothing to be done except to try to maintain as high a quality of living as we can for her.

Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts...

I am deeply saddened to hear this. I am so very sorry. I will pray for her, and for the rest of your family. I hope she is comfortable as she can be.
 
Damn, I hate bad news like this. Take my advise continue to spend time with her. Later in life you will never regret it. I took care of my grandma to her last days, and in fact the first to find her moved on to a better place. Even though it was a year of not working the time spent with her was a great healing tool. She never was in my life and was told she hated me and my parents. Alot of healing and making new mends was worth the year of tough times with bills and the lack of income. In fact i smile and feel in peace as she moved on. A short time on this earth and we be rejoined along with others I miss to this day. Prays for you and your family as the tough time are to come.
