My mother is stage 4

[Rokket]

She is going through chemo and radiation treatments at the same time because of how advanced her cancer is. She is trying to stay strong, but she has times where she is a little depressed. The holidays were rough on her because she said she was thinking that she might not see another Christmas. So far, her prognosis hasn't changed, though. That can be good and bad.

Sending good thoughts to you and your mum Rokket. My sister had a hysterectomy just before Christmas due to cancer.

 

[Hornet3d]

My good wishes to you both. I hope they improve soon.

 

[Terre]

Thanks for the update. My best wishes also.

Best wishes and positive thoughts from me Rokket.

So far, her prognosis hasn't changed, though. That can be good and bad.

I'm a firm believer that no news, is good news, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed everything works out in her favor.

 

[mininessie]

my best wishes too!

My best wishes as well. I hope you guys get some good news soon.

I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this for a loved one.
It's hard to watch someone go through the suffering from it.
My mother had stage 4 colon cancer but there were no treatment options for her due th the type and her other health issues.

My heart goes out to you and my thoughts are with you as well.

 

[Rokket]

Thank all of you. We are a strong, tight family, and we are all in this together. We are doing all we can for her, including the prayers.

It's great to have the support of family. Hugs and best wishes to all of you Rokket.

 

[Rokket]

Thank you, Lisa.

 

[Hornet3d]

Thank all of you. We are a strong, tight family, and we are all in this together. We are doing all we can for her, including the prayers.

Which are added to by the prayers of all the people here who feel, for you, your family, and you mother.

Agreed.

Yes there is a good atmosphere here that I don't see on social media sites. Forums seem to be friendlier than Facebook and the rest I think.
I know what Rokket is going through, as my 70 year old grandad is in hospital at the moment. He had a stroke years ago and needs 24/7 care, and over Christmas he got worse and was taken into Tallaght Hospital. He looks terrible now and I'm not sure he will be coming home. The adults aren't helping either as they won't tell us what's happening. They just whisper among themselves and tell us teenagers that all will be fine, as if we were toddlers that will believe anything.
But enough of my family stuff, and more prayers on the way to Rokket!

I will add your grandad to the list I am praying for at this time. Don't be too hard on us adults, we may get it wrong but we are only trying to protect others even if it can be misguided or misconstrued.

 

[Miss B]

to you too Bonnie, for your Grandad.

Hugs, Bonnie! I think it is better to be honest with those old enough to understand (which you certainly are), though I'm sure as Hornet said it's with the best intentions..
