My mother has cancer.

[Angel_Mapper]

I just found out Thursday. Stage 4 breast cancer. It's spread to her liver and three places in her spine. The mass in her upper spine has broken two bones which caused the pain that sent her to the hospital where they diagnosed it, and she's in a neck brace for it. I am so ****ing scared right now.

Damn...I feel sorry for her and for you in the situation. It is sure very serious...I just hope she will get out of it, but damn...

Ah, that sucks. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer just one year ago, also in december, but luckily it was caught so early, that the doctors could only trace 7 cancer cells anywhere else in her body. They removed the tumour and then gave her chemo and radiation, just to be sure. Sounds like your mother is going to have a much harder time

I wish your family the very best in dealing with this. There are truly no words that can express the sorrow and suffering of a family member in jeopardy, but I wish you all the strength to carry through.

Well good luck. I don't know what else I can say, it sounds pretty bad.

 

[SkaarjMaster]

The only thing I can say is to wish you (and your family) all the best that can be wished in a situation like this.

 

[Balton]

Good luck Rachel.

The way you detailed this gave me the bad kind of goosebumps.

It's always tough seeing a parent or child with an illness like that. Cancer is a hell of a thing because the treatments are nearly as devastating as the disease. It's maddening that we can't even control the spread of cells in our own bodies. I know you're a strong person, Rachel, and you'll deal with it as best you can. So sorry to hear.

Having dealt with a parent that had cancer I do know what you are going through. If you need anything let me know.

 

[kiff]

Sorry to hear this. It may be hard but try to stay with her as much as you can. It will mean more than anything else

 

[Juggalo Kyle]

I'm so sorry to hear about that Rachel. I wish you the best of luck.

 

[JohnDoe641]

Damn, I'm so sorry Rachel. No one deserves that and just know that we're all here if you need us.

 

[NeoNite]

I wish you and your family strength Rachel.

 

[GRAF1K]

We interrupt your regularly scheduled douchebaggery to say that though I don't know you from the next person I'm quite sorry for your situation.

 

[Festering Anus]

Best of luck with your situation

Sorry to hear that it's kind of hard, but you have to stand with your mother and have faith that hope is in everything.

 

[Grobut]

I never know what to say in thease situations, except a generic "i wish you and yours the best of luck".

It's heartfelt, but i wish i could say something more profound than that, something that would make you feel better

It's always tough seeing a parent or child with an illness like that.

well, every single person on Earth is either a parent or a child, so I guess that about covers it
this is tough news no matter who it affects. it sounds like her mother didn't catch it until very late, but it's not like it would be any less tough if it was discovered early. cancer is a terribly unpredictable disease that isn't biased and doesn't play by the rules.

I wish her mother the best of luck, but more so I'm worried for the family. cancer treatment can be so expensive on top of how much energy it takes out of those who care for the person receiving it. regardless of the outcome, hope can be found in strength. from what I know about Rachel, she has got strength in spades and she had to get it from somewhere. I wish you and your family the best.
