What a bummer

About 5 years ago, my Mom had lung cancer, did the treatments and had a great outcome.

Over the last few months Mom has not felt good.

We just found out a new cancer has occurred, it's more aggressive and has spread to some lymph nodes. After much prayer and medical consultation, no further treatments will happen.

I need to ask everyone a favor and say a prayer for my Mom. Although she feels chipper right now, we know the hard part is coming over the next 3-6 months and would appreciate a prayer from time to time for her. Mom knows where she is going after all this which is reassuring.

However, as her son and the baby of the family, I'll say it again. What a %*#@^ bummer!!!

Thanks folks.

    Enjoy the time you all still have with her. At least you know that her life is coming to an end at some point. Makes you appreciate her more while she is still alive.

    Some folks do not get that chance. Not even a chance to say, "I love you" or "goodbye" one last time.

    WOW, what a response!!!!

    Thank you SO very much for the kind thoughts.

    FYI, I've only been a member for about 6 years, not contributed much "useable" audio advise only due to the lack of knowledge, yet when it turns personal and important, Polk people know how to rally together and be supportive of each other.

    I TRULY am honored to be a member here.

    Thank You Everyone!!!!!

    I also second what everyone has said and especially this;
    Prayers sent for a miracle. If not that then at least peace and comfort moving forward.

    Miracles have happened, I know.

    I'm glad your Mother has STRONG FAITH. That's the most important comfort next to family and friends being there for anything she needs. Love and Prayers HAVE changed medical diagnoses before!

    Keep her thinking about the good times she's had and will have soon with loved ones near.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.
