Stacymsski and Susan2,

Our mother was diagnosed in April 2010 with lung, liver and bone cancer. She received about 5 or 6 rounds of chemotherapy and came through rather well. She is also diabetic, anemic and has a pacemaker. As you can see, she has many other health issues plus the cancer. In early September she was hospitalized and was in a nursing home facility for rehab and physical therapy. She came home mid-October and was doing really well. Her doctor suggested radiation (precautionary) and she received 10 treatments. Towards the end of the radiation, we began noticing mom was struggling with her memory and couldn't relay simple words. Her memory is terrible and she is constantly confused. She's physically weakened and can't do anything for herself, however, just a few short weeks ago, she was progressing and doing well. She had an appointment today with her oncologist (only after my sister called and insisted that mom was not well). He stated that the radiation was such a small dose and these side effects could not possibly be from that. He also stated it could possibly be due to a stroke and she is scheduled for a CAT scan tomorrow. He also prescribed a steroid for her today in case of brain swelling. Our mother is 67 years old and after reading your stories we were amazed at the similarities. Do either of you know of any knowledge or experience with steroid usage and if it helped? We are feeling lost and could use any guidance at this point.

Dear Susan, I found this site after doing some research on a type of leukemia from which my Mom died 24 years ago. Yes, Hospice workers are angels. We have had to use them a couple of times in the ensuing years. I hope you are healing from your terrific emotional pain. It does take time. I still have times when I cry, remembering Mom. Those patients are so brave. I truly believe what her doctor told her to be true, "Even if you cannot be cured yourself, what we learn may help your children or your grandchildren." So that is why my Mom went through the chemo and radiation. Selfless love. Know that when we suffer our loss, they gain peace and comfort. My sisters and I laugh a lot now, remembering the silly things Mom did. You will get there, too. Bless you.

@octoman ~ You say "No profit in God, I guess." Let me tell you a little more about how I survived cancer and have been clean now for coming up on 11 years. I used Kneel-Mail. You heard me I got down on my knees, which hurt like nothing anyone should ever feel, and I handed my cancer to God.

The doctors with all their Omnipotent science gave me 18months to live once I was diagnosed. They also told me that Chemo had a 60% chance of ending my life as did radiation as my cancer was stage 4.

Now I am not here to preach to anyone, however, utilizing Faith along with the Multitude of resources that are out there like The Lance Armstrong Foundation who will help you in a heartbeat. You have to take the first step ... go to their website or call them. The website can be reached by going to http://www.livestrong.org/. I have put my e-mail in my previous post for people just like yourself. We are here to help you. This is Your Life "This is no time to pull punches, You are in the fight of your life. We are about the Hard Stuff. Like finding the nerve to ask for a second opinion and a third, or a fourth, if that is what it takes"... "We're about the practical stuff ... It's knowing your rights. It's your life. Take no prisoners". (Taken from the Manifesto of The Lance Armstrong Foundation, Founded and inspired by one of the toughest cancer survivors on the planet.) LIVESTRONG, Write me I would be glad to help you, Jade

Well It is so strange to me that with all the research into drugs to cure cancer. No one has ever shown any interest in me.No profit in god,I guess, Diagnosed with stomach nearly eight years ago,but here I am alive and well with no treatment at all,except diet, exercise and deep spirituality, A scan last October, shows my cancer is alive and still growing,and it has now grown a friend. The surgeons opinion is, the cancer has spread. I do not agree ,a year has past and I am still fit as a flea. I often think people die because of chemotherapy,and some people even die because they try so hard to live.taking every treatment they can. Yes these ideas are obscene,I know, but so many people dying,of cancer is obscene to me. Chemotherapy,is so demoralizing.A relative wanted to die,because of it causing her such misery, she got her wish.so close to god was she.such a pity.

My dad was diagnosed with Stage 4 Gastric CA in 3/09 and they started him on 5FU Chemo which is one of the strongest Chemo's out there in 4/09. He never hallucinated but I have read articles where others have up to year after Chemo. was complete. My dads main issues were burning when he ate and the mouth sores were horrible even with preventative measures before and after he went in for Chemo. My dad past away on Easter this year and the only hallucinations he ever had were the day before he died. We think he was seeing angels because he kept telling us there were other people in the room and their weren't. This could have also been from the Morphine. I wish you the best and it sounds like you've already got a lot of experience under your belt with this disease. The only thing I can think of is keep researching. You will find answers eventually or even holistic measures.

I started out wanting to "reply" to Missy's 10 month old post, then I realized there are so many people here who have lost a loved one in the past year that I should "Reply" to all of you. My name is Jade & I am a two time cancer survivor as is my Dad. I decided to reach out in this forum as I am a leader of a LIVESTRONG Army, we are a grassroots fund raising organization connected to the Lance Armstrong Foundation. I wanted to let you know that I am here for anyone who may need a little help through their grief. In all honesty without scrolling back and forth, someone said we all grieve in different ways & that is very true. But, no matter how you do it you have to grieve for your own sanity's sake. I am here to help anyone who needs it. I can connect you with an Army that is close to where you live, or if you are more comfortable in e-mails or on the phone I will be happy to do that too. We are an army trying to help the 28Million people globally that are living with cancer as well as helping their caregivers & families. I am posting my e-mail so that you can reach me. I would appreciate if it does not get passed around. Jadetopp@gmail.com Please contact me if you or someone you know needs help. LIVESTRONG!

Have you requested a 2nd or 3rd opinion on her treatment? I am not a Dr. or Nurse, but the number of treatments your mother has received astounds me!

As to the memory loss, I am not too surprised. My mother had radiation to a blastoid tumor in her brain that resulted in her inability to respond to any stumuli.

My heart goes out to you. Live for the moment.

Tarceva is referred to as "chemo in a pill". Which to me is not worth all the side effects but I realize it is her choice. But it is painful to watch since I am her caregiver.

I'm sorry to hear you were not given better information about hospice sooner.I am making the choice not to have anymore chemo after the first try, 2 years ago, it put me in a tail spin that I still have not recovered from. Choices is what I wanted. I did not want chemo. But presssured that I should try. I was ready to go back to work after my 1/3 of lung surgery. I may still have cancer. I don't know and don't want to at the moment . I realize there maybe other uses for chemo but I would put that on my bottom list for an arsonal of cancer fighting tools.

Hi Vern,

I'm so sorry to hear about your mother! I'm not familiar with what Tarceva is; is it an anti-nausea med? If not, maybe one of those would help her peace of mind in order to eat more. Do discuss it with her doctor and see if maybe he or she can talk to her about it.

My Mom has lung cancer and has surpassed her Dr's projected time span. But she has panic attacks at the thought of being nauseated and is now refusing to eat more than miniscule bites. She is on an appetite stimulant and I don't see the benefit. She is getting weaker more from her refusal to eat than the cancer I feel. I have tried to reason with her but I am at a loss. She is also on Tarceva. She says she doesn't want hospice because she wants to keep taking the Tarceva. I am just at a loss and ready to stop bugging her about eating/drinking.

You are correct in your disision. More and more people are needlessly sufering or dead by a zelous cancer doc. a Corener I knew said she noted after 20 years how many people Died from other causes rather than the cancer noticed post mortom. One chemo treatment had me run out of the cancer center. It takes more bravery to say NO to chemo try hospice first!!!! When you can get yourself in alert rather then alarmed panic before having such a serious life altering dissiion. .....Where is you spell check, I used to spell better before chemo too.

Bernie, I wish I lived near you so I could hold you and help you through this journey with such a heavy burden. I will try to share with you a few things I've experienced with cancer and life. The most important thing I want to say is that those time estimates are just educated guesses. At the end of 2000, I learned that I had an incurable form of cancer, stage 4c, and the most aggressive cell type. Immediate radical surgery was expected to buy me a little time, "a couple of months", and the chemo was to back it up for the best shot at surviving a little longer. In a couple of months, I was in remission! The treatments were harsh, and I had allergic reactions to every one, but I just thought it was the usual side effects. Yes, I was horribly sick, weak, tired, with little hope of surviving some days. But I crawled back and gradually learned to live with what was left of me. I had a granddarling who wasn't quite 4 years old when I was diagnosed, and I wanted so much to live long enough that she would remember me. The cancer has recurred, and I have been on several types of chemo because of serious reactions. Next week I will begin a new one, as the one I was on was destroying my legs and would have soon made me unable to walk. These are drugs I have taken in the first round, 2001, but apparently my chemistry changed. Because there are only about 25,00 cases diagnosed each year, or because it's discovered only in advanced stages and half of that 25k die soon, or for whatever reason, there are few clinical trials for this type of cancer. But your mom has a cancer that is found in the hundreds of thousands, and there are numerous survivors all around. Breast cancer must be the highest profile type of women's cancers. Millions of dollars have gone into research for treatments and cure, and almost everyone you meet knows someone or is someone who is a survivor because of the focus on breast cancer treatments. The improvements in care and the hugely brightened outlook has happened in a relatively short time, and it gets better every day. Your mom is young, and has the benefit of an army of workers and survivors who have gone before her. Each case, each event along the way, is now going to help her doctors in performing their special magic. It looks a lot more hopeless than it is when the suffering is so hard, but I am living proof that things can turn around sooner than you would ever have believed. I hope you have been able to talk with a support group and hear the numerous stories or survival. Ask the nurses and doctors who treat your mom if they can help you find someone who has real knowledge of local people who are dealing with or have dealt with similar cancer and complications. Don't stop until you find a supportive friend. Then when you get really sad or your mom is especially sick, lean on them. Most people are anxious to be helpful, but most won't offer for fear of intruding. Reach out. You might be surprised. Oh, BTW, I looked and felt terrible in those earlier days, but it wasn't always a true indication of my state of health. Chemo makes us feel like we might die any minute, because it's killing cells. Just visualize a battleground, with a little avatar marching out - that would be the cancer cell. Now visualize a big army, carrying powerful weapons, marching against the cancer cell. That is your army, your mom's army. If it can make her so sick, just think what it's going to do to that puny little cell. Splat! We have to endure the pain and side effects, because at this time we have indiscriminate drugs that kill good and bad cells. Someday, probably soon, chemo will be able to target cancer cells better, and that's because people like your mom have been part of the process of using chemo and being observed, and people like you have said you want your loved one to suffer less and have more drugs available. Of major importance to you is the advice I hear all the time: caretakers and loved ones need to take care of themselves so they won't burn out when they are needed most. You are so young to be in this hotseat, and you must not stop living. Go out with your friends, have them over, be carefree a few hours each week, a little bit each day. If you haven't already done so, talk to a counselor at school or at your church or wherever you feel an adult might be able to help you. Regardless of what happens, you will need their help more than once. Line up a support team for yourself, people who genuinely want to help, and don't be shy about asking them to help you, as well as your mom. She will feel better when you are less stressed. A mother expects to care for her child all of its life, and it's so hard to see herself unable to be there for them. Your mood can transfer to her, so make it a good one! I never know how to get back to these posts, so I might not follow up, but I will try. I am vibing up good things for you and your beautiful mother. Now, wish me luck with my newest chemo next week, as well as the cataract surgery. Oh, and the blood clots and COPD, too! My granddarling is almost 13 now, but I find that, in my mind, she might still need me a few more years, so I have the best reason to keep being a survivor. You young ones are our greatest inspiration!

Both my husband and I are in hospice with cancer. We have loved so long that to be able to talk about cancer has been a God send. To us and our Friends, the hospice is such a blessing. I wonder why we were not given a chance to have this from the beginning. This is a part of life ...not living forever. But to have the help from hospice is a soothing part of living with dignity, while we are on this planet. Please let them know if you get the chance. benderjanice@gmail.com

Missy,\i think i'm still numb..i'm not even sure if i have grieved.. i do know i have a picture in my room where i get ready every morning..i get up around 3:45 and mom and i have our talks...my neighbor bought me a necklace when mom passed from james avery. and the front says "the heart never forgets" on the back i had the date of mom's passing engraved... i think it will always be hard. i never figured that mom would be gone one day. she would live on forever. this is going to be a very difficult time of year. this is our first thanksgiving, christmas and new years without mom.... what are we going to do. have no idea, i know that it will not be the same.... but, all in all, mom would want us to go on. she was from estonia. she came to the states when she was 17, and when she graduated from high school only one year she won a speech contest with an article in a magazine the title was "why should I live. she loved this country....oh i better stop.. the tears are coming.... love to all of you. i'm here if anyone needs me...lol...
