I've been on this site when my Godfather was diagosed with stage 4 lung cancer that went to the brain. It is such a great site to go to to be with others in the same situations. Well, today I am on because my mom. She is 55 and was just diagosed with stage 4 cervical cancer, it has spead to the bladder and rectum and some noguls in her lungs. (excuse my spelling). This is my first Thanksgiving not being at her house. She has been not feeling right for the past 6 months, so we find out from her now. And a week and a half ago was it. I knew something was wrong. So I called her every day asking her how she is doing. She has not seen a doctor in 25 years. Although she has been working for doctors for over 5 years. None of them give there employees insurance, so I think that was one of the reasons she never went. Anyway, my sister and I brought her to the emergency room on Tuesday at 10:30pm by 4am they had told her she had masses and her kidneys were being affected. So much has happened to her in this past week. She has needles in her draining her kidneys, which by the way are doing good, but the left one is doing the work. Now they are talking about a poo bag. The doctors talk words I can not understand so I am putting them in my own words. Radiation has started. But I have hope and I have faith. But my concern is her, she is so personal and private. She seems to be withdrawl, or something. I wish she would talk to us. I hurt for that. I want her to be more positive and have faith and courage. But I know all this news is so soon. Anyone have any feedback?
