blueeye Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I know exactly what you mean...sometimes it's like I forget that Mom is sick. Sooooo skinny and a bad cough and running back and forth to oncology reminds me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fillise Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I know exactly what you mean. When I vistited my mom last week, we did normal stuff. Shpooed, went to a football game, out to eat. She's not taking any treatment and you wouldn't know she was sick to look at her. I keep wondering if I am living in a fantasy world, but I've decided that this time is a precious gift. Whether it lasts one month or 10 (or more years), I will be grateful for each day if it. Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 It IS hard sometimes, to remember what exactly is going on. Cancer is a sneaky little bugger. I hate it. Thinking of your dad, Take care, Nova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjrasMOM Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Wow....I just wrote a post about "Inappropriate nurses" but I also wrote about how "normal" my mom has been. It has been a great summer ever since she got out of the hospital. They cleaned out her infection and gave her a chemo break. We had so much fun going to our summer cabin, hanging out. Mom even swam in the river. Our only reminder was when she lost her breath swimming up the current. She had to cling to the rocks until I rescued her with an innertube. It was scary for about 10 minutes when I saw her lose her breath. But other than that one episode, most of the time we went on with our lives as normal. Now she's back on chemo, coughing has started up this week & I noticed her SOB a couple of days ago. =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lc46 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Yes I hear you. My Mom does everything she did before she was DX. We go to Auctions, shopping, out to eat, she does her Ebay. I hate hate hate this disease. Everyday she is here is a blessing for us. Take care Dar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph74 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I agree, I almost forgot about the cancer over the last few months, mom was fine - even went to Mexico on vacation until a few weeks ago - she celebrates her 56th b'day today, and guess where she is? The hospital - she had severe dizziness and numbness last night, and can't stop coughing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasMomOf3 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 When my Mom & Dad went out shopping not long ago they were both elated!!! Later my Dad admitted to me that he's waiting for the other shoe to drop which makes it hard to enjoy the good times - but he is sure giving it his best. Yes, this cancer is sneaky, deceptive & so all encompassing for so, so many people. Sometimes I just want to have a tantrum and kick and scream and "beat the heck" out of this cancer!!
