My mom got results of a test back today and the lumps she had were cancerous. She didn't act too upset, because they haven't checked to see if they have spread to her body. If it hasn't spread, apparently they can just do some surgery and remove the lumps and she's golden.

On the other hand...I keep thinking to myself...this is how these stories start, isn't it? They find a lump and before you know it, there's a huge battle that eventually just ravages the person who has it.

I imagine she must be terrified right now. But she hasn't really shown it. And I'm teetering on tears because it's one of those wake-up moments. One that says you just don't know what's in store for her down the road, and it could be nothing...or it could be everything.

The future is obviously uncertain. If it's nothing, then act as though it's just that. Live life normally. If it's everything, add "battle for life" on the list of things to do every day, and hope you win. I understand something like this could be devastating, but let's not let it be devastating. Appreciate the fact that time on Earth is limited, more-so for some than for others. Life is only temporary.

James, I am so sorry. I wish you and your mom well.

Some stories start that way, but maybe not your mother's. Maybe she will be just fine, no?

Beingist · 11-22-2011, 01:31 AM

My best thoughts for you and your mom, James.

Canonymous · 11-22-2011, 01:58 AM

P.S. My mother is battling breast cancer. I hope my response didn't come off as heartless.

ZephyrusX · 11-22-2011, 02:11 AM

I hope everything turns out well.

tomtomtom · 11-22-2011, 04:02 AM

All you can do is look at it as a positive thing and find out what is the positive thing about it

C33 · 11-22-2011, 06:29 AM

So sorry to heart that!

Your mom seems like a very brave lady! Her positive and combative mind frame will help her. Also, she has you, she has support, and I think in that kind of situation it's a form of medecine.

Carri C · 11-22-2011, 06:42 AM

wishing you well james. just as she needs support from her family right now, don't forget you need support too. look after yourselves. best, c x

Curious cat · 11-22-2011, 06:44 AM

I'm so sorry this has happened. I hope things will work out for your mum.

ssandra · 11-22-2011, 07:04 AM

I hope things go very well for your mom!

Just to share a success story: My mom has had a lump as well and several patches of weird skin. Turned out to be evil cancer cells.

However, they removed them and she's ok. Just removal, nothing else. No chemo, nothing.

That was a couple of years ago, 5 or 6 I think. And although she has to keep an eye out for weird skin deformities, she's otherwise completely healthy.

So it does happen. And it happens often, you just don't hear about it often.

wow ! a big hug for you James !

newkaren · 11-22-2011, 02:33 PM

Try not to let it get you down. There are so many questions at this point.

Positive thoughts going your way.

superfoodist · 11-23-2011, 06:06 AM

Hey James81! Sorry to hear about your situation, but fortunately, its never too late. I highly recommend that you look into superfoods, which are known to stop cancer cells... Some of these include : marine phytoplankton, spirulina, chlorella, goji berries, bee pollen, raw organic honey, etc

Also, if affordable, try and get her on an all organic diet (preferably just fruits and vegetables) and have her drink A LOT of clean, non-fluoridated water.

Good luck buddy

cacheborn · 11-23-2011, 06:25 AM

Sorry to hear that James. Sending lots of positive energy to your Mom.

CoolBee · 11-23-2011, 12:09 PM

Wishing your mum well James.

My mum had breast cancer over 5 years ago and had treatment. She's just been given the all-clear after 5 years of routine exam follow ups.

My dad also had a skin cancer - it was identified by my mum who was obviously hyped up in 'spotting cancer' mode that year. It was an itchy patch on his back that never healed up. He had it removed successfully.
