six months ago my mom was diagnosed with lung cancer and had the tumor resected.

ct scan last week showed new enlarged lymph nodes, and PET scan report from today showed increased activity indicating the cancer has come back.

🙁

i don't know what i'd do if i didn't have my mom to rely on...she's always been there for me.

tell your parents you love them. you never know what may happen tomorrow.
 
My mom died of colon cancer a year and a week ago. Her fight after diagnosis was less than 3 months. God Bless you and your family.
 
I'm sorry to hear the bad news.
My mom was just diagnosed with Leukemia. She's only 51 yrs old... 🙁
I'm the same way... I can't picture her not being around. She moved in with me and now I'm taking care of her. I guess all you can do is tell her how much you love her and how she has made you the person you have become. Thank her for her unconditional love for which NO OTHER woman will ever give you again. If she has any things left that she would like to do, ask her what they are and try to help her to complete it.

I wish you the best...

sorry dude... keep fighting... both of you. What stage is it ? My grandma didn't find out until she was terminal.
 
God Bless you and your family, espeically your mom. Keep positive and be strong for her. Blessings and wishes for her to recover fully
 
I hope all the best for you and your mom. My mom is a cancer survivor, too. Prayin', too, if that means anything to you.

Sorry to hear that man.

But to be completley realistic: We all lose our mothers/fathers eventually. You say you rely on her now...well, I know it's hard, but now you have time to "grow up" and learn to be your own man while she's still around. When she's gone you won't have the emotional or financial (well maybe financial) support from her anymore. Prepare for that as best as you think you can. Trust me, it helps in the long run.

I don't know how old you are, I don't know how far-along your path you have traveled, but from today on think about how you can make your mom proud of you and do it.

Good luck man.

 
Be strong...sad to hear abt your mom.

My friend's mom just died today. She was diagnosed with pacreatic cancer 2 weeks ago and had just undergone chemo therapy. The disease has metastasized to her lungs so she was really in a bad condition. Her passing away was totally unexpected cuz it was soo sudden. I know she's old but you hear people at least lasting like 4 to 6 months after the initial diagnosis.

Maybe it's the toxic substance used in chemo therapy that did her in quickly...who knows? Maybe she would have live longer if they were conservative in her treatment. Too many questions with no sure answers.

Life is really short...we should enjoy every minute of it...by being here in OT?????
 
My father died a week ago tomorrow of a massive internal hemmorhage brought on by advanced esophageal cancer. He was diagnosed 4.5 months ago.

I STRONGLY urge you to love your mother as strongly and unconditionally as you can, right now, this moment. If this teaches you anything it should teach you that the bullsh!t that comes between you and someone you love is absolutely meaningless, and the only thing relevant, the only thing that counts for anything, is the love you bear them.


~~PS - He was 62.
 
First off my condolences.

Secondly, make sure you spend every chance you get with your mother, just in case the worst is truly around the corner.

Third, you can get through this no matter what happens. I found even after the death of my father at the age of 52 (3 years ago on November 22nd), the love and bond you had never dies.

Best of luck.
