Ry Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Welcome to the site. Sorry to hear about your mom. Please ask all your questions, we're here to help however we can. Do you know what stage and what type of cancer it is yet? When you do, please add it to your profile. Rochelle Quote
Guest pinkdiamond Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 As soon as I know more, I will post. Quote
Kasey Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Hello Pink, I am your neighbor to the west a little....in PA. I, too, was a teacher. I taught 6th grade! I am guessing if Gail is your child's teacher, they haven't made it to 6th grade yet. When they do, I will be glad to tutor so they will be WAY ahead of all the other kids ! Now to be serious....please come back when you know more about dx so we all can be of so much help and support to you. Kasey Quote

Pattie Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Hi! and Welcome! I am new here myself and instantly found support! I just want to let you know I'll help in any way I can. It's helpful to know there are others out there that feel as we do and understand everything. And to know they are so full of support. In helping your Mom make sure you take time for yourself. I know it's easier said than done, but it is important. I know, because I take little time for myself. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Pattie Quote

ellakc2 Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Welcome PinkDiamond, Sorry you had to come here, but it's a great info. place. Take care and good luck. Mare Quote
Guest pinkdiamond Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Thank you all so much for your support. Gail was the 'angel' I needed. I did learn a small amount of info. The cancer has not spread to my mom's bones and that the cancer is very fast moving and did not show up in the films she had taken 6 weeks ago. She will have a port put in tomorrow to begin chemo. I don't know much more than that at this point. We re all waiting to talk to her Oncologist. I am so happy to have found you all. Quote
