I hate feeling so helpless

[Spacehead]

Sorry for you loss

 

[JM Aggie08]

Sorry to hear that, man. Don't try and rush the process, and don't suppress anything. Feel what you feel and process the emotions. I focused too much on trying to stay strong after losing my parents (2017, 2019), and feel that I'm paying for it now.

Wishing you and your family well.

my mom has cancer
It spread to both her lungs.

She's only 61, just learned today from oncologist that the avg patient with similar stage 4 sarcoma lives around 2 years


That's not enough time


I wish we could just implant bionic lungs and put some kinda technology to filter out the diseased cells from the bloodstream.
This sucks

Im so sorry

I spent like 2 years visiting mom every other weekend (4 hour drive 1 way), and burned up all my PTO/Vacation time as well as worked remotely from her place a bunch during COVID. (helping to cook, clean, etc since my grandma is 87 and was her primary caregiver)

Mom went on Hospice back in March 2020.
She lived until Sept 3. She was 62 and a few months.

Last few weeks have been very hard. I appreciate all yall. Take care of yourself and your families.

So sorry to hear that man. You have my deepest sympathies.

This is sad news.
I am going to say a friend of mine Father had a similar thing. I know lung and something else.
He tried treatment and it sucked, he went to a faith based pain management plan and I remember him speaking highly of it and it helping him. He lived for several years.
Really my point is we all tend to think in scientific terms and sometimes something without numbers to verify like faith works.
Don’t be afraid if you Mom wants to try something that sounds strange.
Good luck man. I’ll keep you in my Sunday prayers.

His mom died about 3 weeks ago...it might be too late for a faith healer...unless he's VERY good.

been tryin to focus on work, i think its good to talk to friends and such, but, mostly just wanna avoid the world and play video games or read or listen to music in solitude, or with the wife and/or our army of cats.


The Icing on the cake ... my uncle just tested positive for COVID 19 .. and he is in quarantine, lives with my grandmother and one of my cousins ... worried like hell about granny and uncle ...

 

[JM Aggie08]

I can understand that. I have an uncle who is very much in the 'democratic hoax' camp, and is one of the sole providers for my grandmother. He's got her onboard with that mentality, to an extent.

Sadly, for my own mental health, I just had to come to terms with whatever happens happens. Obviously don't know much about your situation, but I would try not to worry about them as much as possible. As difficult as that may sound, there's nothing you can do except hope for she comes out unscathed.
