    This is a terrible time, I got the news a week ago, and it's been hard to process.
    My moms been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, they can't find the source.
    When they first diagnosed her they gave her 3 to 6 months, but this cancer is eating her alive very fast, they're now giving her weeks...
    She's decided to go into hospice and let her give her the basics, no chemo as it would be useless anyway as they only figure she would live maybe another 9 months, and that's if her body can handle it.
    I don't know what to say, I've been there for her as much as I can these last few days, I'm going to miss my teacher, my mentor, my friend... my mom...

    My sympathies........

    Pretty much everyone has lost someone they know to cancer. My brother-in-law is struggling with it right now.
    Spend as much time as you can with her RIGHT NOW, because later, as the disease progresses, she won't be able to really 'enjoy' the time you have with her. If she's still 'mobile', get her out in the fresh air, take her to a beautiful park, or wherever she likes. Stay strong and as positive as you can be. You and your mom will be in my prayers.

    Thoughts and prayers for you and your Family in this sad time. I have been involved as a volunteer at a local Hospice. She is in good hands and they will be there not only for her but for the Family as well.
    I was only 15 months old in 1953 when I lost my Mom to this disease. Cherish your memories and be strong for her.

    Cancer sucks. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Lost my Mom to cancer almost 9 years ago. As already stated, and as I'm sure you know, enjoy your time with her. And spend as much of it with her as you possibly can.

    It's so sad to read this. Enjoy the time you have left with your mother. You've made the best choice at this time.

    Well my mother had the last laugh, being the comedian that she was, she died on Halloween! spooky!
    She went peacefully under hospice care, died with a smile on her face.
    Thank you all for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers.
