pewjumper Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 It was twenty years ago that we lost my maternal grandmother to this terrible disease, 9 short months after she was diganosed. And now we battle the same disease with my mom. The sheer terror of it all is absolutely paralyzing. May we beat it this time around - we'll do it for you, mamaw.

Anais Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I really hope your mother will be NED soon... She will beat this!! Thinking of you, Anaïs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anais Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Mitchell, I read in one of your first posts that you're only 24. My mother was d/x when I was 22, my brother was 19. It's hard for young people like us to see our parents with a serious illness. If you want to talk about it, don't hesitate to PM or e-mail me... Btw I'm from Montreal, Canada.

shineladysue Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 (((Mitchell))), First of all , I want you to know that I feel your fear and your pain , but... I want you to read , read , read here at this site. There are no two cases of lung cancer that are the same. No two people are the same and there are advancements in medicine being made every day. There are people who beat this disease and you just have to hang on to that hope. In the meantime, you can bring all your hopes, fears and victories here because we do understand. Keep your chin up Mitchell and know you are not alone. Love & Prayers, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamataca Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Sounds like your mom has a special angel watching out for her. Add my fervent prayers to all the others that your mom will conquer this beast. Keep us posted. Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyW Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Chant with me, "Die, Tumor, Die!!" Kill the evil cancer tumor. Chant either oneBig hug for KAthy and strength and prayers for you. Hang in there you will beat this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowergirlie Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 It is so scary and so many uncertainties seem to be looming about all of the time but you have a great attitude and that is very important as the support and the caregiver. Here's to your mother, that she may have great response to treatment and win against cancer. She is young and has a wonderful daughter to carry her when it is all too much. Then, when it is too much for you to take, you can come here and release it all and have the support of so many. Hang in there! We are all here for you!

pewjumper Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 Thank you all so much. I'm all the more encouraged by my mamaw's bravery to fight this. In honor of her, and how times have changed, I thought I'd post a few pics of then - and one of now to compare. I like sharing pictures, I hope you all don't mind. On my forum (I run one for our church's youth department), we have an ongoing photo album at all times. It's one of the most popular threads we have. Mom, pregnant with me. 1981 Mamaw, holding me as a baby. 1981-1982 Before she got sick. During treatment - 1985-1986 Mamaw and all her children then. The siblings back together again. 2006, a month before mom's diagnosis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
