my name is sharon. I am presently supporting my mum through her cancer journey. To say the last 4.5 years has been a nightmare would be an understatement. She first had bowel cancer major surgery, then a second op after which she ended up in intensive care wasn't expected to survive but she pulled through. Then in august last year had another major op which she could have died during or after but she battled again and finished her second course of chemo and now were waiting for a ct scan to see where we go from here. I really do feel for everyone who has to go through these heartbreaking circumstances. My thoughts and prayers are with you all love sharon

My heart goes out to you, I'm so very sorry about your mom,she has gone through so much. I know this is a very difficult time for both of you. You mother sounds like a fighter. Bless you for standing by her.

I send you much love and I will pray for your Mother and you to give you strength.  I will also go to the "ALL" candle group and light a candle for both of you.

Embrace your Mother dear Sharon she needs you and you need her. And that in its self is a true blessing from God.

I will keep you in prayers and thoughts.
God Bless,

I, too, will light a candle under "ALL". Perhaps you would like to start a candle group for your mother. The instructions are in the top threads.
Wishing you everything good,
Edda

thank you both for replying, its so nice to know that others care. I'm off to see mum this afternoon. She has her next scan on the 20th june then results on the 29th so it is an anxious time. I also have problems with my kidneys I presently have stage three kidney failure so that is a worry also. How are you two. I haven't managed to read all the messages om this forum so don't really know anything about people yet but it would be good to know what you are going through if you don't mind. Anyway take care of yourself and you are both in my thoughts and prayers love sharon

I'm feeling really low today. My dad came out of hospital yesturday after been sectioned under the mental health act for 4 weeks. Its bad enough that my mums ill and now they have sent him home far too soon as my mum feels. As she now has to cope with him everyday. He has had mental health problems all my life and I have never had a proper relationship with him, don't if its because of his illness or that he doesn't care. I am really worried about mum she's going through so much she has her scan next week and I'm stressing over what the results will be. I just don't think I can take it if its more bad news. I have enough health problems of my own with my kidneys. I'm sorry to sound like a real complainer but just having a really bad day today. How is everyone else. I hope you are all coping with your situations take care all love sharon

Status: offline 		Dear Sharon, I am so sorry that you are having one of those really bad days. It is easy to feel overwhelmed at certain times. Know, that we are all rooting for you. For me, the best way to manage is to take one day at a time and see what it brings. For myself I also believe that God gives me what I need when needed.
I'll keep you in my prayers and light a special candle for you today.
With much love,  Edda

Status: offline 		Sharon: I will go light a candle under group JESUS for you and your family. I hope all goes well. Please let us know if you start a group so we may go there to offer you further support.

As for me, I have three arteries which are completely clogged and am waiting to be legally declared disabled (difficult thing in Texas); I live with my mother who also has many health problems; but, I am probably the happiest I've ever been in my life -- and so is my mother -- since we feel God's presence in our lives.

May He bless you and yours.

Best regards,
Emil

'One day at a time' is easier said than done. But once you start doing it, it becomes easier to do it than to say it. Trust in that.

Status: offline 		Hi
mum has had her scan this morning, they have done chest abdomen and pelvis. We have to wait till next friday to see the oncologist to get the results. So many things going round in my head. I don't want her to die but at the same time I don't want her to go through anymore pain and suffering. She has gone through so much three major operations one when she ended up in intensive care and one where she could have died during the op. My heart is broken when I think of whats happened over the last four years. I find I cry everyday and just can't stop the tears from coming. I so want her to be well and to live for a long time yet but I don't think she will do. I need to go as I'm struggling to see through the tears love to you all sharon

Status: offline 		Dear Sharon, My heart goes out to you. I can understand your ambivalence about how much more your mother needs to go through. And there is the uncertainty of the outcome.This is an awfully hard place to be. Just one thing - try to treasure every moment you have with her. Every little thing you do for her is an expression of love. You can be at peace that you have done all you can for her.
I'll keep you and her in my prayers.
Love and hugs,
Edda

Status: offline 		Dear Edda
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart I really do appreciate it. You are right about treasuring every moment I have with her. That is what I have been doing as I don't want to have to live with regret later. Mum knows that I have been there from day one and will be there til the end whenever that time is other people in my family can't say the same but they have to live with that. I know i have and will do everything I can for her. Yesturday was a bad day for her as she found out her cousin who has been battling cancer for two years died I think thats knocked her. As in the last 12 months three relatives and one friend has died and three of those from cancer, so it does really make you think about what the outcome will be for her. I try to stay strong in front of her but its not easy I nearly always break down when I leave her. Thanks you for your love and prayers it really does mean a lot. I also remember you and the people here in my prayers also love sharon

All my best,
