Update on my mom.

well, good news and bad news, no more cancer in my moms lymph nodes, its confined to her lung now,Although I believe i covered that good news alreadysmiling smiley however the bad news, found out early yesterday, is that the cancer is completely inoperable, they believe her chances of surviving the operation are to low to even risk their careers over, so instead they have suggested more pain meds and chemo until she dies from one or the other, or the mix...I know its not the nature of life to be fair, but is it wrong to wish that just once it was?

Sorry to hear this. Very, very sorry. Hoping that you can find a way to help heal or to simply deal. Make every moment with your mother from now on as meaningful as possible, whatever happens. Be the best son you can be.

Sending cosmic hugs and soothing energy your way.

thanks tam, I'll be doing my best... she started smoking again though....so i dunno if the healing part is even possible as a longshot at this point since she has just stopped caring.

Sorry to hear curatorsad smiley, have you looked into ozone therapy? It may help to shrink the tumor.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for someone is... nothing. Just be there for her. There's no telling how healing loving energy is all on it's own. For her and for you. <3

thanks everybodysmiling smiley things are not to great, but could be worse at the moment, they are still figuring out what bacteria has caused her infectionconfused smiley and They have given her a blood transfusion because her blood count is apparently down for some unknown reason... Ironic, considering the recent conversation about blood transfusions...

they have told my mom they may not continue treating her till she stops smoking... and she refuses to try any other kind of treatment now, where as be4 she showed some curiosity in some alternative treatments... its so difficult wanting to help her, and her not wanting to help herself... its like she just wants to die, and all I can do is sit around and watch her...

Good to hear shes doing better curatorsmiling smiley

It sounds as if shes depressed which is only natural, im not a fan of SSRI's or other anti-depressants, but maybe talking to a professional might help?

thanks powerlifer, ive tried to get her to go to the free counseling (group and or private) that the cancer center here offers... but she keeps saying she wants to, but then never goes... ive offered to go with her if she wants, or she can go alone, whatever she feels most comfortable with... ive been trying really hard to cheer her up, which has worked a tiny bit, ive gotten her laughing occasionally,lol.. so I guess thats some progress!

Good she has someone like yourself curator many dont have thatsmiling smiley.

It can be hard to make the first initial step with counseling and even when you do many times its a waste of time, in my opinion always you have to relate to the person who is counseling for it to be of any benefit. Not all those who do the job are really cut out for it.

I know your mom isnt too keen on trying anything alternative but i have a really good alternative guy who has taught me most of my information to date around here. If you wish for me to pass it on give me a PM even if its just options etc then let me know whenever if i can help.

Hope your mom feels better soonsmiling smiley.

I can see now why you said my mother in law sounded like your mom. I hope she feels better. Since my mother in laws husbands death, she hasn't been the same. It seems like she too has given up hope. Shes depressed, but what do I expect I would be also if someone I lived with for so long is no longer with me.

He says ozone therapy is the best and safest tool and is wondering where the cancer is located as it can make a difference on how ozone is applied.

he has a cancer write up that i can send you also, even if its only to read.
