TeriPA Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Hi, Mom had her first week of rad/chemo this week and sounded very good over the phone. While talking to her, she told me she is going to fight hard and she is not going to stop doing things. What scares me the most, she was able to have surgery when she had breast cancer 2wice, this time surgery is definitely ruled out because her lungs are not healthy at all and if they did they surgery, she would be on oxygen for the rest of her life. She is a Fighter and I am praying she wins this battle! Teri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norme Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Hi TeriPA, YOur mom has been through a lot. No one person should not have to go through all of that in a lifetime but, there is no pick and choose to this game of cancer..... I take it she does not live near you and I hope she has someone with her because radiation and chemo are sometimes very trying on the body until the treatments are over....then about 3 weeks later, one finds themself to start to feel much much better. I will keep your mom in my prayers. God Bless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Teri Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 Thanks for all of you kind support. My mom is going to have a surgery to have a Port put in on Wed. morning around 10 am. She sounded so tired last night when I spoke with her, wish I were down there right now to be with her. Teri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna D Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 Teri, the port usually is not a major surgery, that is done for IV's and chemo, it makes it easier so her veins don't collaspe. The being tired is from the chemo. Hang in there. Wishing you and her the best. Dona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
