Pretty bad day for me. My sister came over and let me know my Mom has Cancer.

Caught it early but it is in the Lungs so your Prayers would be apprecciated.

My mom really helped me through this whole thing I am pretty shook up right now.

I am very sorry to hear that. You will be in my prayers today. I don't know what I would do without my mom right now.

Hang in there.

glad they caught it early. prayed for your strength and your families. My mother had ovarian cancer which is hard to detect. she did well after her surgery and 5 years later. this is very hard to go through for all concerned. just be there for her. be ready to help out however you can. even if it means just being there and sitting. remember she is your mother and will want you there.in fact she is in a role she may be uncomfortable in as having needs instead of taking care of your needs as a mother. my thoughts & prayers for you. not a fun road to take

((((((((((((((Frog))))))))))))))))

I'm so sorry to hear this news, but I want to encourage you. This year alone I have known and prayed for two people who had lung cancer that was not caught very early, and both have survived and are growing their hair back. One lady's H was WH and they were going through this A nonsense, and when he heard, he dropped the OW like a hot potatoe and has been a faithful husband ever since. The other lady's H was SURE she was going to die and was moping and planning as if it was already a fact. Well, she came through like a TROOPER! She had radiation, chemo, and then some kind of new wafers put RIGHT ON HER CANCER and it is gone now! GONE!

So I know it's scary and it's your mom and you love her and want her to be here with you for a long, LONG time...but you take heart, Frog-man. You aren't alone and we are all here holding up you and your mom in prayer. She can survive this and SO CAN YOU!!! ((((((((((Frog))))))))))

Your mama bee,

Have a good cry - mums are precious and cancer is scary. But there are so many wonderful success stories to gain inspiration from and at least they caught it early.

A litte techincal advice.

In terms of treatment and evaluation, please make sure that you get an opinion from an academic center physician regarding treatment.

There are alot of treatments and research protocols that the typical community doctor may not know about or have direct access to.

God bless and goodluck.

Frog:
Most definitely prayers are coming your way. I've been there...dad, not mom, but I remember the devastation well. Time seems to stand still, waiting and wondering and worrying.

I'm so, so sorry that you are going through this.

Oh, Frog, I am so sorry to hear about this. You will be in my thoughts. Now is the time to spend time with your mom; don't let her do any of this alone, if you can avoid it. Talk about when you were kids, all of those stupid things you did, laugh, love. It's really great medicine.

Don't choke back those tears, just find a place to yourself and let it go. Let the stress out, let the worry and fear out.

Your mother is in a place that she has probably never been--needing help from her children. My mom did not want to appear weak at all. She would have her chemo on Friday and go back to work on Monday; she was that insistent upon maintaining the 'norm'. Just be available to help. Do things for her that you know she likes. Read up on her treatment and what may happen. Be prepared. Be there.

((((Frog Prince)))) I am so sorry you and your family are going through a hard time right now. You will definitely be in my prayers. Just remember to keep your faith and remember that this to shall pass. Be thankful the found it early and it's a better chance to get it to go into remission.

I know you can probably use something to make you laugh. Check this out. I put my little ones in the tub and while I was bathing my DS3 my baby squated in the tub and pooted and the bubbles tickled her booty and she just laughed and my son and I did too. So know that when things are not going the way you plan you can always find some good in whatever you are going through. If you can't think of anything just squat in the tub and let the bubbles tickle your booty. LOL.

I am not good with the medical stuff and all I could hear was Cancer. The are going to remove that portion of her lung. Good knews is she had a physical not long ago and the doctor was amazed at her pulminary funciton.

She will be having the surgery June 4th.

Thank you all and keep praying.

Dig you crack me up. Amazing how kids think farts especially underwater are funny.

Lem, my sister is a doctor so she has all those bases covered but thanks for the heads up.

SL long time no post to each other hope all is well.
