Thank You

Mom mother survived a 20% chance of death from squamish cell cancer. It was horrible and but she is very strong. She was given 6 months with three months either way. This was 3 years ago. She is still with us but her fight was in vain as the quality of her life has changed dramatically. She is now experincing ulcers on her skin in her mouth a hole in her face from radiation and is in terrible pain but she will not give up.

She is my mentor, my best friend and my mother. She hurts so much and so do I. I have just turned 50 and have my own issues but as the sole care giver to two senior parents 87 and 84 both with cancer, I often find myself very sad and angry.

My message is thank you as I found your website and found that my plight is unfortunately not unique. If anything there are many of us dealing with the same issues. I think my mother is dying and will not make it this time. I am terrified and would like to talk to any one who cares to spend the time. Trying to be strong need help.

Thanks

Dear storm111,

My heart goes out to you.

I cared for my mother the last 5 yrs of her life, I also watched my brother fade, and pass to kidney cancer.

It is always heartbreaking, to see ones we love fade, to lose their quality of life, and be in pain.

I believe life is only one phase we go through, and that there is a better place for us all.

As hard as it is to let go, try to remember, we never want someone we love to be in pain, and there has to be a better place for them.

I wish I had the right thing to say, but there really isnt one. I guess i just want you to know, I heard you, I know your pain and fears, from being there, and your not alone, its a hard road, but sadly its part of life too.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Gods blessings, Luana

Dear Storm:

that is a heavy burden to carry.  There is something called Coats Aloe Vera that could help.. Also lysene capsules, a cap of Cod liver oil and Vit C.  Ioderal removes the radiation from the system and is natural also in pill form.  Aloe try on the skin and if it does not skin can help the healing.

Cannot they give her pain meds?  just google Ioderal and it is easily obtained and works wonders. Know from first hand experience.  If you cN get essential oil, lavender and peppermint, rub on her feet 2-3 times a day. also lemon oil. These help heal and give comfort. Do Not put near open skin as it will sting very badly. If any gets near her open sores by accident get some olive oil and put on as it negates the sting. Take care MMS
