Please try not to worry so much, I understand though. Your mom is doing the right thing by going back to the Dr. anytime she gets sick now you will worry more because of the fear of loising her{.this is normal.} Being on your period that amount of time could also suggest menopause and/or other problems that are not as serious as you fear. Let her know your fears and say a big prayer for her. Let her know you also are praying for her too stop smoking. I will pray for you both also. She will be fine!

Aww, sweetie i agree with the other people talk with your mum about this. Only her Dr can tell if it is cancer again, if it is they can figure out treatment options for her. Do you have a school counselor or teacher you could talk this over with too?
My Mum had cancer when i was 7 and beat it, she died when i was 21, nearly 20yrs ago. Even if the cancer has come back treatment has come on so far, they can do amazing things now.
I am a cancer survivor myself, i have 2 daughters, right from the start i explained what was going on and how we were going to treat it and beat it. I know it's hard but ask the questions you want answered to your mum, there are also support groups for kids too, ask about them at school or if you go with your mum to the Dr's.
As to witchdr and his idiotic answer, IGNORE the fool!!
Sending love and prayers to you and your family

I'm really sorry to hear that your Mum is so sick, I think it is best that you sit down with her and talk to her about your concerns. No one here can tell you that is or isn't cancer again. Lupis is a rather nasty and silent disorder, but she can recover. the smoking well that is not optium for her recovery, but it is an addictive drug and now is probably not the best time to quit, but you could encourage her to cut down. As a cancer survivour myself, I smoked through my treatment, yes stupid, but it "helped" by "relieving" my stress. And after Chemo I was usually far to sick to smoke anyway.
Good Luck to and your family, and once again, please talk to your mum and ask lots of questions. Cancer or any long term illness effects the whole family, so it's important to have very open communication.

Sweetheart unfortunately the only person qualified to answer that question would be a doctor. You seem very worried which is only natural. I hope you have spoken to your mom about your fears/worries. She has the right to know how you feel, and you also have the right not to go through your feelings alone. Let your mom how much you love, and need her; then also let her know how much what she is doing with the continuing of the cigarette smoking is also affecting you. Best wishes....Let us know how things turn out for you two.....................

It is an important sign that the period has not ended a month.
I want not to be pessimistic. But your mom must go IMMEDIATELY to the doctor, since that period can be something very serious.
No serious doctor will made a diagnostic by e-mail

Don't listen to Witchdoctor-what a lame response. I know it's hard, but try not to worry until you have all of the facts. There are other things that can cause a woman to have her period for a length of time. Is it possible that she is going through menopause? That can cause prolonged periods, as well as endometrial polyps, uterine fibroids, stress, etc. My thoughts and prayers go out to you!

If it was uterine cancer before I would think they would have removed her uterus- so ??? DOes she have a colostomy or urostomy?? If so = it could have returned there or popped up somewhere else- ask her where she had cancer last time- sorry to hear it- my dad and lung cancer and my mom colon- hope it works out- my prayers are w her and you- D

Anything is possible, but before you panic go to the Dr appt. with her and take one step at a time. Good luck to you both.
