Good News About My Mom

Hello everyone,

I would first like to write that I have never read so many messages from so many courageous, loving strong beautiful people. 

My heart truly goes out to each and every person who this terrible cancer has effected.  The compassion, support and understanding from everyone is incredible. 

I had some messages on this board a few weeks ago regarding my mom.  She is the inspiration in my life, I have always strived to be like her.  My mom is so very beautiful inside as well as outside.  She is the kind of person who never puts herself first who truly shines with empathy and love of all living creatures. 

She was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer with only a few months to live.  It has turned out that the doctors misdiagnosed her.  She has diffuse Large B cell non-hodkins lymphoma.  They are not sure what stage she is in (maybe 3) but can now be treated.  She is currently undergoing chemo; 6 cycles 21 days apart.  The good thing is she will now have years instead of months.  The reason I am telling everyone this is because at the time when she had "advanced pancreatic cancer" I would not have been able to get through it without the support of those on this board.  I want to express my gratitude and appreciation for all the support and prayers that went out to our family.  Thank you SO MUCH, I will never forget how so many people from all over this world reached out and gave us such support, love and prayer. 

God Bless everyone, my prayers will go out to each and everyone of you.

Bobbi

Very happy for you Bobbi and your mom. I have dealt with a stage 4 cancer myself so I know how relieved mom is. Thank God.

Got a question please. I am so close to my mom and a spot has been spotted on her pancreas. She is scheduled for a cat scan next week to see what it is. Do you have any thoughts or ideas as to what it could be. I am so worried about her.

Hi Ron,

It is great your mom is having a cat scan, they seem to be the most thorough way of detecting anything.

I understand how you are concerned over your mom, however, wait until the results are back.  My mom had a spot on her pancreas for many years (not the tumor, something completely different) that was a cyst which the doctors had no concern over. 

Let me know how it went and I will pray for everything to be okay.

Bobbi

Thanks for answering Bobbi and I hope your mom is still doing good. I`m really happy for you and really really happy for your mom.

 My mom goes tomorrow for the CT scan. Her ultra sound stated "pancreatic mass". She doesn`t seem any different to me and won`t even talk about this scan except to say she isn`t thinking it might be cancer.

 I was diagnosed 9/2005 with stage 4 tonsil/lymphnode cancer and am now 15 months out cancer free. I`m a 56 year old man now and always believed, but wasn`t really religous. I really feel prayer by many people pulled me through and I`m praying for my mom. I so appreciate your giving her a place in your prayers.

 Ron
