Re: Daughtersofmoms withBREASTCANCER New here

Thank you so much!! My mom's cancer has been diagnosed as stage IV, basically what they have told us is that it is not cureable, but can be controlled. We actually just came home today (Yay!!) from a week and a half hospital stay. She went in for being jaudiced and ended up having a stent to help her liver do the job that it needed to do, because a tumor was blocking it. I can't say how thankful I am to have her home!! She actually came to stay with my husband, my 18mo old daughter and myself. My hubby is actually a stay at home dad and was open hearted and ready to go when I asked him if he would mind if she stayed with us, because between the two of us she would have 24 hour care. I about burst into tears when I asked him if he would, fearful that he would say no...they actually have a wonderful relationship, but I know it's alot to ask, doing personal things for someone that you never thought you would be doing those things for. He has
been so wonderful through all of this.
It has been hard. I'm sure like many we all have to work. I work full time, am expecting another baby early december, have my toddler at home and also have a father who has parkinson's. My life is a whirlwind right now, but I can only imagine how my mother feels. She cried when we brought her inside the door to our house. I thought it was because the wheelchair was bumpy, but it was because she was so happy and so humbled to be home. A whole new view on being walked across the threshold so to speak. Thank you so much for your kind words. I know being in the hospital can be exhausting. Love and prayers to you and your mommy.

Hi Eliza-

Just wanted to let you know that I know what you are going through. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer that spread to her bones in Jan. 07. She had surgery to reconstruct her spine where the cancer had destroyed a disc back in June. Yesterday, the surgeon went back in to redo the fuse, the cancer has destroyed the disc that the plate was fused into. She is still in ICU today, because there was a lot of scar tissue from the first surgery. Next week, he will do another surgery to try and remove more of the cancer and stabilize her spine from the other side. After 16 hours in hospital yesterday, I could not even go up there today. So...bumpy is something I understand very well at the moment. All I can say is try to take care of yourself and your loved ones, alone you may not feel strong, but together you can make it.

Prayers and hugs,

Lesley

Good morning Eliza, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I will pray for her. My mom went 9 years cancer free until last year when she was diagnosed with stage IV cancer that had spread to her liver. She underwent chemo for about a year and is currently in remission. Don't give up hope! Be there for her as much as you can and enjoy all the time that you have whether it is days or years. (((hugs)))
