Jamie, I'm sorry for your bad news. But, as Lady said, there is always hope and cancer is not a death sentence. My mother died from lung cancer in November of last year and she was sick for a year before that. If you ever like talking PM me anytime. It's a difficult disease, but you'll be able to get through it. Love, Anna |

| Sorry
You have my sincerest sympathies. My mother is 52 and has survived both breast and ovarian cancer. Has the doctor said there is nothing they can do? I mean my mother is a serious smoker and a drinker and she is still cancer free after 1 year. My thoughts and prayers are with you :redrose |

Jaime, Oh my, I am sending big hugs and prayers your way! Let the tears flow and treat yourself kindly. I have lost relatives to lung cancer, but was too young to really go through the sadness and fears. This must be so hard for you. Just hang in there and be sure to let us know how you are doing. Hugs and Prayers, Dotster :heart

I apologize, this is a thread for women in recovery and I am a man, but I saw "cancer". I lost my dad to cancer, plus my uncle. My dad got it and lasted 5 months, and he was gone. Colon cancer that metasticized to his liver (same as certain breast cancers that spread to the liver - not operable, very fatal). I am sorry. It is really hard, I was so busy just trying to put together everything I wanted to do with my dad before he died, and I could not do most of them because he got too sick and he was too busy with getting his estate in order before he died. My mom died from a brain stem tumor. It was not cancer but it may as well have been, she lasted 6 years after they did the surgery (we had to go to Canada for the surgery because no one would do it down here in the states back then). But she deteriorated slowly over those 6 years, so much so that I told my dad (who was still alive then) that she was no longer mom. It was hard to deal with, so I tried to tune out my feelings with drugs and alcohol. But all it did was store them in a box in my mind, only to come out over and over and over again years later. I will pray for you and your mother (and for the doctors).  |

I cannot say anymore then what has already been said. I am sending prayers for health to your mom. Spend time with her, make this time, may it be a year or 10 years worthwhile to you both.

Hi Letting go,i have lung cancer myself,too.The doctors gave me a year to live.Ive read alot about this illness,,that i have.ive learned that when doctors give a time date,on a persons life.That person will usually live up to it.Because of the strong expert theory.Im typing to you ,through the grace of God only,,6 years later.No one knows how long another will live or die.Not even experts..Its all in Gods time.God,s hands.I asked my family,friends,to stop talking me into death.lol...And we take this one day at a time.And make the most of it.And i know you will not understand this,,yet.But this journey im on is the very best.,.Im learning so much about love.About life,through this illness.As well as my family.There are alot of trully great,wondeful,spiritual inspiration,insights...cant really put it all into understanding words.. Am sending prayer for you ,your Mom and the rest of your family.God Bless,you all and give you peace.you or your Mom can pm me anytime.Im here to listen,,and help if i possibly can...You are no longer.....alone... |

Wow, I come today to find all of these responses and I just want to say thank you so much. I was not prepared for this at all. I guess I shouldn't just write her death sentense now. She just has sooooo much in her chest and right lung I dont see how it couldn't be the worst case senario. I am praying too and appreciate all of your prayers. Cap a special thanks to you. You made me laugh when you said "talk you into death". I hope for the best and am trying to just get thru this beginning stage which is so devastating right now. I appreciate you sharing your story and I will definitley pm you sometime. BTW, Easton (the baby) is doing good other than having a cold. He is up to a big whoppin 9 lbs!!! Go premie power!  |
