      <description>&lt;p&gt;Dear Rosemarie:
Hi, I realize that this post is over a year old and I know that your Mom has been with the Lord now for 2 years.
You have my sincere sympathies and also a number you can call if you ever are in need of a chat.
I am a member of the Erie County Cancer Killers A LIVESTRONG Army which in turn is a grassroots effort of the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
You are a &quot;cancer survivor&quot; in a different way than I am, however, we are here for anyone who has been in contact with, lost a loved one to or is recently diagnosed.
You can contact a support line by going to http://www.livestrong.org/Get-Help
I hope you will find someone there to aid you. Even at two years the loss of one's mother leaves one with all kinds of feelings. I hope you find some solace in the site and through the toll free numbers that are available there.
God Bless&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt; Rosemarie,
There really are no words for what you're going through.  I have been caretaker to both of my terminally ill parents for 3-years now and I am spent.  I have a young child and I can't believe my husband is still with me because he has been put last since this disease entered our lives.  Cancer is a very dark cloud that doesn't seem to go away.  Don't be afraid to seek that counseling you mentioned.  You must stay healthy for your children and spouse because you don't want to put them through what you've gone through with your mother.  Both of my parents' cancers could of been treated with a 90% recovery rate if they had sought medical attention early.  They both blew it off until they felt so poorly they had to do something.  Just recently I had to let Hospice take over both of them.  Every time the phone rings I cringe.  On the other hand, I want peace for them and me.  I have been though the 5-stages of death several times now and I'm sure I'm not done yet.  Life gives you the test first and the lesson later.  Since I am still in the eye of the storm, things are not that clear for me.  I don't know what I'm supposed to learn yet but I know it will come to me.  Just be mindful and appreciate every second with your mom (and the last 7-years) for now because it's really all you have.  No matter what the outcome, I hope your mom doesn't suffer.  Both of my parents are in tremendous pain and it is torture for all of us.  Remember, we are not in control of anything, god is.  If we can just accept that, maybe things would be a little easier.  I'm trying.  My thoughts are with you.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Rosemarie,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I can only say to you through my own experience taking care of my mother for 7 yrs was a complete and total feeling of helpless. Just being there for her was the best I could have done. I had to put my feelings to the side and feed her positive energy; as long as she was able to understand and comprehend what was happening to her, the pain, discomfort, suffering the harder it was. Hospice was able to help quite a bit, my hat off to them! Then as years passed &amp;amp; condition becoming worse, Alzheimers crept in. And my feeling was relief for her, it hit fast and hard, she knew nothing for awhile which by all means was easier for her. Until one day, I just knew and she said goodbye; in my arms she held tight we kissed and said to her the good Lord is here to take you home, she smiled, we curled up in her bed(at home)holding her tightly, loving her, was the most precious feeling and closeness to our Lord we've ever felt.
Yes, throughout it all was so tiring, draining emotionally. But my thoughts stayed within her, she was loved all the way to the new beginning.
That was my sharing experience. I do still miss her after just 2 years in March 2010. But my being with her at the end had to have been most warming. Sincerely &lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I have been a caregiver to my Mom for 9 years. We moved into my childhood home 9 years ago. We gav up our dreams, our thoughts about moving to Vermont, pretty much all our dreams. From the begining, Mom was in control.She did not want any of our furniture in the house. We couldn't even raise our voices when we argue and forget about sex! so my marriage started to go downhill. I told my husband I had promised my Mom I would care for her in her later years. so he compromised. Mom had to be in control. she did her own checks, read her bills and mail. The problem it was killing me literally. I had 3 heart attacks, open heart surgery and I began to fall-one extremely bad fall in the bathroom that put me in ICU for several days.  Mom was eventually finding it harder to breathe. She was in so much pain. On morning I sat in her diningroom/bedroom asked if she was ready for hospice.She said yes,Icalled Hospice.They came out to evaluate her and the doctor said yes. She died a week and a half later. Hospice is the answer to an unbearable situation. You do not need to be six months or more for help. You can go in and out of it. That was my experience it. But Hospice is so welcoming and loving. I don't know if it will work. May God Bless you and grant you and your loved ones peace.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I am so sorry to hear about your Mom.  I am sad to report that my Mom lost her life on September 23rd of this year.  It does not even seem real.  I miss her every single day.  Her battle was just about two years to the date.  This is a very unpredictable disease.  The initial cause is not really known I know that my Mom did have Rheumatoid arthritis and that is an auto immune disorder and because this disease is common in people with auto immune disorders I think that may have been a cause.  But I think it is really unknown.  I am so grateful that I had my Mom for two years.  I wish she was still with me, but I know that they have made great strides in CNS lymphoma and everyday they learn more about it and how to treat it.  So be hopeful I know my Mom had a great oncologist at U of Michigan and he had patients that lived for many years in remission.  I was hoping she would be a lucky one but the cards did not play out that way.  I know she is not in pain any more and that is comfort to me and my family.   My thoughts are with you and your family.  Cherish every moment.&lt;br&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Stacy,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Read your post about your Mom. How is she doing? My Mom was diagnosed 4 months ago with CNS Lymphoma. The effects have been devastating. Did your doctor ever tell you what had caused your Mom's illness? We struggle with what caused my mom's illness.She had no primary site and no known risk factors. Hoping your Mom is at peace and your family is coping ok.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;My wife and I are both cancer survivors. She had a kidney removed about 25 years ago and I had bladder cancer diagnosed a little over two years ago. We were both lucky in that surgery was able to remove the tumors and no additional treatment was required after the surgery.
However, in both cases it was a rather traumatic experience. We received a lot of help from the American Cancer Society's support line at 1-800-227-2345. They were able to connect us with some local support groups and individuals where we could  get the help we needed to get through our situation. Another source of help is the web site of the American Cancer Society, www.cancer.org &lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hello Everyone,  My mother had CNS lymphoma. She had no symptoms until her face started going numb and she started forgetting things and didn't know what year it was or who people were. It was so heartbreaking. We took her to the emergency room and they took a ct scan of her brain and it showed three lesions in her brain. They did a biopsy and discoverd end stage CNS lymphoma. She was diagnosed the last week of april and she passed away on june 13.  The chemo they gave her did not help shrink the lesions.  She went into a comatose state and would not respond to anyone. The cancer was killing her.  She was coherent on mother's day and we all got to talk to her one last time. I think she was saying goodbye to all of us. She is in heaven now and I miss her everyday.  I cry everyday because she is gone and it is hard to comprehend how quickly she was taken from us, but she is in a better place now and she is an angel watch over us. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you in this difficult time. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you so much for sharing your story with this group (me) about you and your dad.  My mom is suffering from pancreatic cancer, and many days I feel so scared.  Your story gave me hope for the future.  I hope I am able to be a rock for my Mom like you were my dad.  Will you please remember my mom and dad in your prayers?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am so sorry and I wish I had the right words to help make it better for you.  My own mom has pancreatic cancer.  She was just diagnosed three months ago and it has been an awful awful time.  I always feel so scared and angry and sad!  I will pray for your daughter and remember her in my thoughts.  Will you do the same for my mom?&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;please the best thing is pray and let GOD guide you  hold on to her hand spend as much time and do good things together  for good memories i lost my dad to cancer and he ask me to hold his hand and pray for him or with him and i was with him when he had his last heart attack  i dont remember much about his funeral even though i was the one who had to plan it  believe this 3 days before he died he had me go pick out everything and i took copys of the pictures of  the casket so he had a lot in helping me  cause he knew it was gonna be hard  so we helped each other it may not sound to encouraging to you but to me and him it made a lot of things easier for the both of us and helped us except  the outcome  its been almost 2 years now and i remember all the good things we laughed about and talked about that no one else got to share in so  we had a bond closer because he had accepted what was to be and he helped me accept it also  so mainly all i can say ill keep her in my prayers and  just do as much as you can with her  dont bring up her cancer  because when she needs to talk she will come to you  for her comfort and you can be there for her  but just remember God never promised us a tomorrow so live to the day and enjoy it like its the last day you will ever have GOD BLESS  you and her just be there and be her strength &lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;My daughter got cns lymphoma (Large B cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma) last August  2008 and put on methatexate and R chop chemo by Dec 08 went into remission, but only 2 weeks ago the lymphoma is back in her cns and bone marrow.  This kind of cancer is usually only in the very  young or older people my daughter only turned  26 beginning of August  I am so totally in shock, after visiting our doctor on Friday he said that it is so rare to get lymphoma in cns that only maybe 1percent will survive here in New Zealand.  To me my daughters life is only starting and it's so unfair she is such a wonderful and caring person.  The stress this put's onto families, I would just like to know is there any advice you could give for any other treatments that could possibly help.  I only lost my father 3 years ago to portal vein cancer and to see this man suffer just broke our hearts I can not even begin to imagine the pain of losing my daughter,   in normal life I'm the one that should go first.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;To all concerned, I&amp;nbsp;suggest you read mans search for meaning (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mans-Search-Meaning-Viktor-Frankl/dp/0671023373&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mans-Search-Meaning-Viktor-Frankl/dp/0671023373&lt;/a&gt; [co.uk]).&amp;nbsp; It is only a short book (200 pages), but is truly life changing and gives meaning to your suffering.&amp;nbsp; I would really recommend it!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can I please ask, the people whos family members are suffering from CNS, what prompted the need to get diagnosed, as in what were the symptoms?&amp;nbsp; I hope you dont mindme asking...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kindest Regards,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Decaf&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks for the reply. It has been so hard and the hardest part is not knowing what is going on. Has your mother had any mobility issues due to the CNS? My Mom has extreme weakness (she cannot hardly walk now) in her left leg and almost uncontrollable pain in her lower spine. She is getting her treatment at Univ of Michigan and so far they have been great but they are not able to locate the CNS this time. They believe with her symptoms it has returned but they cannot locate it. This is so frustrating because since they cannot locate it there is no plan for treatment. And at this time they are just working on controlling the pain. I am just worried and want to make sure we are not missing something.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I totally sympathize with you. My Mom is just getting through her 5th bout of cns lymphoma. It has been 6 years of total hell . It is only me, I do have a brother but that is another issue, he is not in the picture at all. My husband and children have sacrificed alot. My mom lives with us so we are her caregivers. I will tell you the Doctors we use are the Doctors that wrote the book on CNS. They are in Sloan Kettering in NYCity. I beleive she would not be here if they did not treat her. Dr. DeAngelis Is top in this field, She specializes in CNS Lymphoma, She is world Renoun. I will pray for you it truly is a hard disease to live with For both the patient and the caregivers. Best of luck to you. If you need any info you can contact me.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hello to all of you, I am joining you on the emotional rollercoaster. I have taken in my mom who has cancer and I have spent many months crying and not really wanting to ask why us? I have a wonderful understanding husband and 3 kids. It has been a real challenge for us since I have 2 older siblings that refuse to help with anything associated with mom. Everyday is a different challenge and sometimes aggravating discussions. Mom just started chemo last week and she hasn't really had any major side effects yet, some days are better than others. Right now I'm laid off work and we're trying to make ends meet so that makes it a little harder to deal with things. The only thing that keeps me going is knowing that if I were in her shoes she would do the same for me.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;My first time to blog, it was helpful to log on and see that others are tired, mentally and physically experiencing some of the anger and then guilt that i know i have felt. &amp;nbsp;My sister was diagnosed 3 1/2 years ago with stage 4 -- Triple negative and Inflammatory breast cancer. &amp;nbsp;This has been lonely for us both, my sister is not married and has had very little support from friends and family. &amp;nbsp;I feel she has a huge load and so do I. &amp;nbsp;She has been in treatment the entire time, it has now come through the skin in several places and her quality of life has been going down hill for months. &amp;nbsp;I have read that many people regret spending all of their time and their loved ones in appts and treatments, i really question at this point what if anything good will come of it. &amp;nbsp;I know at some point i will need to discuss hospice or something with my sister, but the communication is not really that good for that she is trying hard to control everything, but everything is getting more out of our control. &amp;nbsp;Anyway, nice to vent with other that have some understanding, truly if you haven't walked&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;this you have no idea.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wishing all of us the objectivity we need.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
