Help her do what she wants to do but go ahead and google all you can about secondary bone cancer.  When you have information sit down and talk with her.  Say"Mom I know you want to save me but if you let me just talk with you it helps me too"This is a tough one and I will pray for you...MMSOn 1/11/2008 onlychild26 wrote:my mom was diganosed with endometreosis about a year and a half ago. she had to have all of her female organs removed , and they removed some lymph nodes from her spine to be tested. she did not have to have cemo, she has had to follow up with the doctors every couple of months. the doctors still perscribe pain meds.and run test.

This is a very painful cancer.He has had several fractures in the last 2 years. My father was a very heavy smoker. I don't know if the cancer is sreading so fast because of that.Be aware of any complaints of pain from her.Radiation works best to shrink the tumors chemo not as well.It is the hardest thing to watch someone you love hurt so bad. Unfortunatley there is no cure for secondary bone cancer.Maybe eating right and taking supplements help look into holistic t reatments. they say your blood should not be acidic cancer loves that type of enviroment. Take care of your mom and go bless. momanddaughter Wed, 23 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT
