I think I can offer an opinion to this as I have been in a similar situation . My dad passed away 2yrs ago and I found out a month or so later that he wrote me and my brother out of his will.... I talked to a lawyer about contesting it and he said it is very hard because I had to prove that he was either out of his mind when he wrote it or that it really was forged , or unless I could prove he accidentally forgot he had additional childen.... Which to me I knew my dad wasnt in his mind but I decided it wasnt worth fighting for since I knew my dad's real feelings, (he had lost much of his mind the year preceeding the will). However I cannot imagine that the other daughter would have a chance at all since you can sort of prove her behavior for the last 13 years... People are soooo greedy when it comes to money!!!! Any judge can see right through that kind of thing!!

Hello, I must say I do know how you feel and what you are going through! I just went through the same thing in January w/ my mother in law. She passed away on January 7th after a very very short time of knowing she had the disease. Please keep your faith and know that no matter what God is in control!!!! I am saying a prayer for you, your dad and your family, May God be with you all!!! Crystal

I just wanted to let everyone know that my mother in law passed away this morning, and is now walking w/ Jesus! Please pray for our family, this has come upon us all so quickly that none of us can really think. Cancer is an ugly horrible disease and I hate it!!! God be with us all! Thank you all for the advice and comforting words this past week! God bless each and everyone of you!! Crystal mother in law thought to have possible liver cancer Dec 20th at ER Dec 30th entered the hospital unable to breath and found a spot on her lung, continued to go downhill in health, FINALLY diagnosed for sure w/ SCLC on Jan 4th w/ mets to her liver, too weak to do chemo, went to be Jesus Jan 7th this morning God Bless you VADIE HUNT !!!!

I just wanted to update you all on my mother in laws condtition, I first want to thank everyone for there responses to my first post a few days ago!! As of now my MIL is still in the hospital and has gone from what we thought was bad to worse. She can no longer talk really and is so very weak she cannot even drink from a straw, The nurse even hinted last night that she could go at any time throughout the night!!???? She has gone through such a dramatic change in such a little time. We were supposed to just try chemo this morning , but the doc says he thinks it is bad idea, but we have left it up to her on whether or not to do chemo. She sleeps 90% of the time now, but isnt medicated, So her doctor doesnt seem to think she will last through the week, This is so very sad for everyone, because most of you that responsed said to Fight. And to fight is what we really want to do, because we love her so much!!! But how at this point do we Fight?? No one wants to do the wrong thing, but we dont want her to suffer either, SHe is so miserable, and doesnt understand why this is happening so Fast and neither do we!!! The docs did an MRI on Friday to check her brain and said everything was fine. So far we only know that she just has a small spot on her lungs and that is spread to her liver, but that her liver is covered! Is this possible? This is the same person who carried my daughters 4th birthday cake to her to blow the candles out on on Dec 20th!! The one who made a huge Christmas Dinner on Christmas Day! Please someone tell me if you have ever seen or experienced this kind of thing. I hope it is okay to post this, I dont know where else to turn. This board has been very informative and supportive Thank you!!! Also I would like to post a pic of her with her family could someone please tell me how I can do that!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!! Crystal

Hello, I am obviously new to this web site, and have a lot of questions and concerns. My husband and I just found out last night that his mom who just turned 60 has Small cell lung cancer. She is currently in ICU. The whole thing has taken us by complete surprise because 2 weeks ago she was perfectly fine. Then she started hurting very badly on her right side and we were told last week after visiting the ER that she appeared to have liver cancer, within this was on Dec 20. The same day we are told her lungs were clear only her liver showed lesions. So she was supposed to have a biopsy yesterday, but on Monday she started having a lot of difficulty breathing and then couldnt walk or breath yesterday, which again took us to the ER, in which we were told she has primary lung cancer that had spread to her liver and it is called Small Cell. She also has Pneumonia and a collapsed lung. He gives her at best 6weeks w/out treatment, and says she is too week for any chemo. We dont know what to think or do because we are in shock that this could happen so very rapidly. So I guess what I am wondering is, has anyone ever had an experience w/ a loved one or someone or any advise whatsoever to help us understand any part of this. My husband has a very large family consisting of 7 brothers and sisters and they just lost their dad in June, so at the very least advise on how I can help him cope through this is very much appreciated! Thank you all!
