I'd like to ask for your prayers for my Mom who just started Chemo for lung cancer at age 78. It was discovered while she was hospitalized for pneumonia. It's an aggressive variety, but the doc thinks the Chemo may give her some extra time, possibly up to a year.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys & gals

Steve

    Consider the prayers sent.

    FYI, my Mom "72" finished here last treatment about a year ago and on the the last treatment day, She "rang" the bell they have hanging at the clinic as a celebration of her last treatment.
    She is doing very well.

    All the best to you folks...

    Wishing your Mom the best.
    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Best wishes sent your way Steve, enjoy what time you have left with her, it's very precious.

    Yes, agree 100%. Being on the West coast, and my parents on the East coast, they both suddenly left while I never had a chance to at least be there.

    Chemo sucks, but it does work. Stay strong and positive. My thoughts are with you and her.

    Your comments mean more than I can explain. Thank you all, Mom is a big believer in the power of prayer. She's a short little thing, but mean as hell...LOL she's pretty tough, and had to be with 5 kids. Thanks again all, God bless.

    I'm going to see the family in a few days, and Mom should be home by then (thankfully, she HATES the hospital) from her first rounds of Chemo. We'll be staying with Mom & Dad to help them both recover; cook for them, clean, that kind of stuff to give my other brothers & sisters a bit of a break.
