life too short


be there, give advice and most importnantly PRAY for her~


sore throat, deeper voice, lump in neck.


- not there yet -


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.

it isnt the cancerViews: 421

wow. well where do i begin? once again. well all I know, it’s not the cancer thats making her depressed. she just found out a little over 3 weeks ago she had stage 4 cancer as we all know, well 2 days after diagnosed she found out her husband, that shes been with for 5 years… cheated. and has another baby, SAME age as my son. 1 1/2. their actually 2 weeks apart! he lied, and lived a double life the whole time. she just found out. thats why when she had that lump on her neck, and didnt have insurance he was scared b/c the baby is on his insurance! he didnt want my mom to find out. then she got sicker n sicker, finally put her on the insurance – and bam. stage 4 cancer. she was over my house last night with him arguing, crying, and she looked horrible. she was all messed up on her pain meds and this really scares me. where do i stand in this?? why does everything seem like it cant get any worse, and it does?! shes been hiding this from me, for 3 weeks, b.c she didn’t want me to hate him anymore then what i do. now she feels hes gonna be with her for pity, she’ll die, and he’ll happily have the baby. i mean what the hell. if she wasn’t sick right now I’d so tell her to leave him~! but at the same point, we need him. hes been helping with everything between the doctors, and being there. i really cant wait until this is all over.

anyway, about her health. she was suppose to start radiation today, & couldn’t b.c they found drainage in her ear, so tomorrow, once again another surgery..for tubes in her ears. she got blood work done today ( i guess you have to before surgery ) and she was dehydrated soo she had to go to the hospital to get IVs in her.

That is a great photo of the three of you. You are lucky to have each other. Sorry to hear about your dad. You mom looks so young! Sending some heathy vibes your family’s way.

Hope all is well with you, we haven’t heard from you for awhile.
