My mother was diagnosed for the third time with cancer, this time with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. She had breast cnacer 44 years ago and throat cancer 15 years ago. We found this one during a bout of C. diff. That was bad enough, but the lymphoma came as a total shock. It took two weeks to get her out of the hospital. She is home, but she is very weak. I have another complication as well. We were in the process of having him tested due to some form of dementia. Right now, I feel like I'm on some kind of horrific roller coaster ride. I'm overwhelmed right now and trying to figure out what to do next. I'd love any advice I can get! Patti Genurisk Mon, 13 Feb 2006 00:00:00 GMT Hey Patti - my heart goes out to you. The best advise I can give you, is to take one day at a time. I hope it doesn't sound trite because I really mean it. The rollercoaster is something we all ride here. How is your mom doing? Are there any support groups near you that you can go to? Sometimes you can get some good ideas for coping or tips for care. Keep us posted on how you are doing!

Genurisk Sun, 02 Apr 2006 00:00:00 GMT Oh I'm sorry. How are you doing? What about the dementia? Just want you to know that you are not alone. Barbara2m Mon, 03 Apr 2006 00:00:00 GMT
