I am so confused I was diagnosed with later stage 5 for head neck and throat cancer , when i went into the hospital I think was at my worst and that was for a feeding tube I went thru rounds and rounds of radiation I was burnt to a crisp , lost all taste buds , that of course made me loose weight , i went down to 70 pounds and was given 3 weeks to live , I came home and hospice was waiting for me .. Ive been with them for the last 2 years . My nurses come to my house keep me on pills and liquid morphine telling me I have to make oiut a will , that I wont make it 3 months , then it was 6 months , then I got sick but they wouldnt allow me to go aggresivelly after my cancer , so I make out my will, and live knowing Im dying , there is something wrong with this picture , Im still alive and now after all this time the drs think ive gone into remission hurray  I prayed to be alive , I am a single mom of a 14 yr old boy , we had lived with the idea that cancer was the end for me , now do we get our hopes back up that im going to live....how could it all just disappear Thank God for this miracle , now do i get my hopes up that im going to live and only to get sick again  I dont think we can go thru this again..it tore us up hard , I have learned who really aare my friends and which ones really werent there for me when I needed someone , being 50 and single going thru this with a little boy uis just so uncool , i have no adult to talk to because all my friends disappeared when they found out i had cancer .. they acted like i was contagious or something ... but if they knew i was in remission theyd be the first to say something like I knew you could pull thru   how the hekk do I start all over again .. Im confused after all of this , just confused ..ive lived so long with the thought i was dying that I think i forgot how to live I think....I guess it will become more normal as the days go on  in the mean time Im going to live

God Bless

That is so cool! I'm so happy for you. It just shows you people can beat the odds and miracles do happen. Sorry you are disappointed in your friends. Hopefully you have made some new ones.

God has blessed you with the most important gift of life.  His light and your light will shine through and people will be drawn to that and you will find new friends again.  I know that being a single mom is tough and takes a lot of time and energy but maybe as time goes by you could find a place to volunteer, maybe even a local cancer support group.  You could give so much hope to those in the fight and at the same time meet people who can relate to you and your situation.  In the meantime, pour your energy into loving your son as he is your greatest legacy and I am sure that you are his hero.

The Lord words in mysterious ways. I'm not sure where you have received your treatments or diagnosis. But it sounds like a good time to grab everything you have and get to a top rated cancer facility in the country.

US News and World Reports did a top 10. You can google that I'm sure and find one in the top 10 closest to you.

 

Good luck and God bless you.

You have shown how strong you are,not only beating the cancer, but by being a single mom. It's unfortunate that you were abandoned by your "friends", but that wont happen here. It seems like theres always someone on here with a friendly word of advice or encouragement.

Keep your chinup, you've done well and youre going to do better.
