well my mom's brain tumor came back

[hotatlboi]

this sucks

She already has had two brain surgeries, and the last one left her almost totally disabled.

I think she may die if she has to have another one.

cancer is a bitch

 

[BlondeCanadian]

It certainly is.. For what it is worth I am sorry that is a total bum deal.

I had a brain tumor removed when I was little - left me disabled. My sympathy goes out to you - it really is a shitty, shitty thing to have to go through...

 

[Jack Springer]

Sorry to hear that hotatl. Mothers are very special.

 

[paatreides]

Very sorry to hear about your mom... Brain tumors are nasty, nasty things... I've lost two very good friends in the last two years to exactly the same thing.

Hang in there... I know there aren't enough hugs in the world to heal the hurt, but sometimes they help a little.

 

[mbamike]

You are in my prayers. My dad died from cancer. So, yeah! Cancer is a bitch!

Hoping all goes well for her, keep your and her spirites up be strong for her she is going to need that .

Make sure you keep telling her you love her. And my the angeles aboves watch over her during this difficult time.

 

[T-Rexx]

Good luck to you and your mom, hotatlboi.

 

[Sausy]

God,I'm really sorry about your mom.The options are so potentially cruel...my thoughts go to you,your mom and your family

 

[hotatlboi]

Well the doctors pretty much thought the same thing, that another surgery will kill her. So they can't do that and radiation and chemo won't work either because they already tried those before too.

So they are not going to treat it, which pretty much means she will die soon. She believes that if she prays God will spontaneously heal her. Since I don't believe in God I don't see that happening.

 

[Knucklehead]

So sorry for your trouble John.Hopefully you can make the best of the time that she has left and be there to comfort her during her final moments.. It's gonna be tough.Sending you and your family my best wishes..

 

[palemale]

My thoughts are with you. I hope the doctors are doing their best to make your mother as comfortable as possible.

 

[hotatlboi]

well, my mom passed away in April. Doing a little better but it's still hard sometimes.

well, my mom passed away in April. Doing a little better but it's still hard sometimes.

I know how your feel hotaltboi. The first anniversary of my Mother's death is coming up soon. There is rarely a day that goes by that I don't think of her.

My Mother was very confident in her faith and knew where she was going. One day I will see her again. I hope for the same thing for you and your Mother.

 

[Georgiadude]

so sorry for your loss. I'd be devastated. I have the best parents in the world and I cant imagine losing them. I hope your pain eases every day. my heart goes out to you and your family.

Having just gone through this, I just wanna give you a big hug.

I can't sugar-coat it for you. Spend as much time as you can with her. Tell her you love her. Get yourself ready.

Though the loss is sad, heart-wrenching, I keep reminding myself that it ended the pain and suffering.

I went through this with my dad. He was also a believer and I am not but I didn't tell him that out of respect and compassion. He would have been more worried about my eternal damnation than his own illness. Deep down though I hoped that he was right and I was wrong. Never have I ever wanted so badly to be wrong about something in my life. I believe you grew up southern baptist as did I.

Do you ever wish that the people that profess that people can be healed through prayer were right? You have my most sincere condolences I know what a painful experience losing a parent to cancer is. It is a merciless affliction that robs it's victims and their families of any dignity and independence they ever had.

I was devoutly Christian for the first 35 years of my life and through careful study and reading combined with my own personal experience, I left religion behind all at once. It was a very painful experience to let it go but once I realized that it wasn't true I had to. I really do feel for your situation and hope it goes as well as it can.

My condolences to you. I've not lost a parent yet so I can't possibly know the hurt you feel. Take each day at a time and make each one special with the good memories you have.

My father has had four brain tumors removed since 81, so I relate from that stand point.
