My mom went into the Dr. the other day complaining of stomach cramps. A hospital stay and lots of tests later they found a mass on her pancreas and spots on her liver. Theyre going to get the results of whether it's cancerous or not soon. I pray to God it isn't, you dont know how hard i pray. I didnt ever used to pray, but when shoved face to face with a life threatening illness, you start to. You start to hope, and pray,and wish, and try to make bargins with God. Ill do this or this if you just let her live till old age. Id do anything for her...Anything if it just meant that she would get better. Id take her place if i could.
Everyone takes their parents for granted, including me, and i feel like crap for doing so. I used to get so upset with her for trival things, now it doesn't matter. It should of never mattered, i was just to selfish and to big of a ***** to realize it. I dont want to lose her like this. A mom is supposed to help plan your wedding, help decorate your house, and help name your grandchildren, and make life just a little more difficult in between.
All i can think about now is going home and taking care of my family, not study stupid chemistry! If i could i would withdraw from all my classes and start at henry ford next semester, or wayne state or whereever, it wouldnt matter as long as i was close to home.
Look up Pancreatic cancer and see what you find, and tell me you wouldnt be scared too.
So i guess the point to this note was to ask anyone reading it please put my mother in your thoughts. Say a prayer, make a wish, do anything. I dont care if youre not religious, i wasnt really untill now. Ill do anything for a miracle. Please

My advice to you is to stay positive. Keep in good spirits, especially around your mom. Moms know everything, they know when we are upset. A lot of people beat unbelievable odds when dealing with cancer (if that's what it is, of course). Staying positive will keep you healthy so you can encourage her and keep her spirits high as well. Something similar happened with my mom, and I was scared to death that I was going to lose her. After they removed the mass, she had a long road of recovery but she made it through OK. The best thing you can do for your mom is be a strong source of support and just be there for her. I will keep you and your mom in my thoughts. My best to you and your family. I know you are really scared but hang in there, ok? You are not alone.

You are right children do take advantage of their parents. I buried my father just weeks ago. I saw him four days before he passed away, and thought that I would see him again. On Christmas Eve at 3:15pm I got the phone call that he passed away. I have regrets that I did not tell him everything that I wanted to. He told me things that he wanted me to know...and one thing that I made sure to tell him was that he was am amazing father. And that was the truth. My father succumbed to cancer. Barrett's syndrome. It starts in the esophagus, travels to the lungs and the stomach. I was scared to, as I have worked in oncology for many years. If your mom is sick....make sure you are supportive, realize that while you are scared of losing your mom..she is more scared of losing her life. All cancer is a battle, and no one can fight it alone. Cancer is curable. I lost my father, but at 19 my daughter was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma. Not only the deadliest form of cancer in young adults, but she also had a rare form. A 6% survival rate over 5 years. My daughter is now approaching her 23 birthday and still has a clean bill of health. I don't know how old you are, but cancer is a disease that lives in one person but affects the whole family. Stay strong together. Pray together and make sure that you tell each other just how you feel for one another. Good luck to your mom, God bless your family. You will be in my prayers.

i've got self belief which you're no longer giving each and all the innovations. inspite of the incontrovertible fact that, given the innovations, your mom ought to have mentioned you to get a 2d opinion and ensure that your cervix grew to become into cancerous until eventually now making any very final judgements. It grew to become into your option to get the abortion. Sorry, yet you do not have a case. in the adventure that your difficulty is definitely as you're saying, then touch the scientific Board and record it. very few women individuals pick to abort even while they have cervical maximum cancers. they only wait until eventually the infant is born and then take care of it, understanding that that's a risk they could by no skill have a risk to have yet another baby. In destiny, i might get the suggestion of a distinctive person for the reason that your mom does not look to have the savvy to help in such extreme decisionmaking. My mom could have been calling around to make certain who grew to become into the terrific man or woman to work out that very comparable day to confirm what mandatory to be executed and what innovations have been obtainable.

Remember, in the Bible it says that you must believe or God won't respond to your prayers. You have to truly believe. Get saved (that means to admit he died on the cross because of your sins... and admit that he is your savior and that you will live your life from now on trying to believe in Him. And read the Bible if possible.) I was going through a hard time and my friend taold me what I just told you, so I got saved and I truly became a Christian. I read out of the Bible every night and then slept with it under my pillow. And thenm a miracle happened and everything slowly got better. I had to do this for two or three weeks, but if you really believe, God will hear your prayers loud and clear. Your mother is in my prayers. I really hope it isn't cancerous and if it is then I hope she gets better and lives her life in full for its true meaning. Tell her you love her every moment you can. Don't forget to tell her how you feel all the time.

OK you need to stay calm for your mom if anything i know it is scary my mom had colon cancer 7yrs in remission my grandma had uterinee cancer 2yrs in remission and my aunt is stage four uterin cancer right now in ku mad for a colostomy bag surgery
so the best you can do is remain calm read as much as possible go to www.webmd.com you can find the best info there it will depend on what stage the cancer is in how long she has had it and how much fight is in her and how much support is backing her chances are they are Benin and she will have to checked every year to make sure but do not panic yet i know how you feel i had the same break down when my mom told me
the number one thing is to be there with her when she needs to talk when she goes to appointments
and remember no matter how scared you are she is twice as scared

I wish your mom could read this. You love her very much. Be sure to tell her, cancer or no cancer.
I'll pray for your mom, and for you too. God will take good care of your mom, whether she is here with you, or with him.
I lost my dad almost two years ago to cancer.
Talk with your mom, say the things you want her hear.
Live your life to make her proud.
