first three weeks we’re a breeze until we hit 4th week. she felt nauseous, blisters in her throat,mouth,and then when we hit the 5th week her skin broke open on the outside. from the bottom of her ears, to her chest. this is from june til july 9th 08


fatigue, nauseous, loss of hair, very very weak.


My worked in a nursing home that she worked for, for 7 years as a caregiver. they became like family to her, and I. ( i work there now) that they dedicated nursing home week to her and raised money for her. it was so unexpected but brought tears to our eyes.

how am i gonna handle this?Views: 450

well today my mom got her feeding tube put in at 1:00. today is a hard day. i talked to her on the phone and she sounded horrible and she couldnt even talk. she said she felt like she was dying and she started crying. it makes me so sad to see and hear her like this. how am I gonna be able to handle radation & chemo? im soo scared out of my mind! and very very sad. this is making my life with my son, work everything so hard to deal with. she just got dental work last friday and was in so much pain! i cant handle this.. i dont even know what im about to expect.

You can handle this…
One breath at a time, and sometimes they may be shallow breaths.

One breath becomes two and then a moment and then an hour and so on, until you look back and you and mom are healthy and happy.

Others have said, “if you look at the whole journey, it is overwhelming.” Look at as much as you can and tackle that, before you look again.

But make no mistake! You can handle this.

For me the freak outs came in waves and I never knew when I was going to be strong and when I was going to have a hard time dealing with something. You will not always feel this way, just know that. it gets easier, then harder, then easier, until you can look back at all the craziness. Off to go see my oncologist for some test results. Wish me luck.

Hi there, I know that thing are going to be hard.
This is my gift to you. “Just reach out and take my hand and I will be there. You see God’s hands are on the other side”

Hugs Sherri
