ginnyde Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Laurie, Stupid question - is your Mother being scanned by the cancer doctors or by an eye doctor. It could be eye problems - not the cancer. I will pray for your Mother - I think the worst thing would be to lose your sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay A. Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 Laurie, Something that isn't talked about too often is that after chemo we are susceptible to detached retina. Hope your Mom is okay, Laurie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurie Posted June 10, 2004 Author Share Posted June 10, 2004 Hi Everyone, Today we are finding out how Jenny ( my ballerina friend) is doing... She just performed Swan Lake in January and now she is crawling across the floor in pain, unable to stand up... so far it doesn't look good. Jenny has cancer in her spine, collar bone, hip and liver... She already had surgery on both breasts.... She is seriously angry and sad... and I have no idea what to say to her. I am trying to encourage her... but I'm at a loss for what to say except Cancer sucks of course. Please pray for Jenny, No word on Mom as of yet.

jamie Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Laurie, I know Im a little late here, but just read this post first thing today. You have your hands full!

paddy Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Dear Laurie, My heart is aching for you. What a terrible time you are going through having to watch your Mom and friend go through this awful time. I often have clots in my eyes and they usually go away after a while and are not anything too serious. Lets hope this is the case with your Mom's eye problem . Is your Mom taking aspirin, sometimes too much aspiring will cause bleeding in the eyes? My thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones' Paddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
