stephnewyork34 Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Hello friends, well poor Mom is getting weaker and she can't walk so they took her into the hospital two days early. Her surgery is still set for Wed. My brother in law, Matt pointed out a good point, that with her in the hospital she can rest and just lay there, and not be in so much pain, also she doesn't need to get up and she has people, nurses etc around her to help, so in a way I guess it is a good thing, but I am just so scared, and of course feeling like a terrible daughter because I am leaving to go to Denmark for a year in just two weeks. Everytime I feel happy, I immediatley feel guilty because Mom is so sick. and I am angry, at no one in particular, just this cancer and I feel helpless and it just sucks. As I know you all know all too well. Anyhow, I will give updates as soon as I know them. Also I am going to visit her next week before I leave so I can send a long any messages. Thanks for being here for us. STephanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephnewyork34 Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 Hello all, Thanks for the thought and kind words. Mom is so amazing and yes she would rather I was working, then unemployeed. It just sucks and I feel bad, so anyhow the latest update is this, She has some sort of lung infection so they may not be able to do surgery, we are all terrified, and I am going out there next week, and maybe sooner. She is a trooper and wants to live so I think that helps. The surgery is suppose to be a de-bulking, to release some pressure on her spone, but as you knwo they can't operate if her white count is too high. Anyhwo I have had a hard day emotionally, so I have to log off, I will let you all know as I know. Thanks and big hugs to everyone.
