BellaOnline Forums Relationships Married No Kids Thought/hopes/prayers appreciated

I feel like I just joined then disappeared and am now asking for help.

We found out 2 weeks ago that my mom has breast cancer, my parents have known longer but just told us now that the first test results are in. Unfortunately the cancer has spread and we may be looking at a stage 3 or stage 4 cancer in which case it may not be treatable. We find out the options tomorrow. I've been a complete mess the past weeks. I've done better text messaging friends to talk about it that actually speaking because I keep breaking down.

I know not everyone believes in higher being(s) but any thoughts for the well-being of those with cancer would be appreciated.

Taitinfae, I'm sending positive thoughts your way. My mom had uterine cancer as well as a cancerous carcinoid tumor in her colon/intestinal region a few years back and underwent extremely aggressive chemo/radiation, as well as a couple of surgeries to come out of it. I know how difficult it can be to talk, and sometimes e-mailing is just easier. I hope that your mom beats the breast cancer!

My prayers are with your mom and your family as you go through this difficult time together.

I am thinking of you and your family. I hope you all get through this.

I'm sending you and your family lots of positive energy and good thoughts. Hope you will get through each day together.

I also send my best wishes and prayers for you and your family.

just remember, you have us here if you need to talk at any time.

Taitinfae, I'm so sorry to hear about your mum. Fingers crossed for some good news tomorrow.

I really believe in the power of positive thinking. Sure, you will always have down times, but overall positive thinking is said to help. I believe that there is research that says that people who are prayed for have better survial rates. I am not a "beliver" myself, however my take on this suggestion goes back to the positive thinking thing.

I know people,one in particular who was told he had a max 6 months to live. That was 9 years ago, and he is leading a full and happy life, he is not "cured", but he is stable, a long way from dead! I believe much of it is down to the fact that he was told he had 6 months, but chose not to believe it and continued a positive outlook.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

Thank you everyone. I'm really focusing on the positive thinking. My mom is very religious and a very optimistic person so she has the right mindset. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that we get the best news possible tomorrow.
