<p>So my mom was diagnosed with cancer today. Please comfort me.</p>
<p>It’s not the end.</p>
<p>I had this scare with my mom almost four months ago. My mom had a seizure in her office that day and one of her staff found her. She was transferred to the hospital and my family waited with her up until around 9:00 p.m., when the nurse came in and told her she had a brain tumor on her right frontal lobe.</p>
<p>After surgery and months of physical therapy, she is now well and fully in remission. </p>
<p>What type of cancer was she diagnosed with?</p>
<p>EDIT:
Also, do not go on the internet and look up the types of cancer she has and do self research. I did this and because of the nature of the tumor (brain) I came up with extremely upsetting results. Though, when she was diagnosed with a specific type after surgery, we had one of the least aggressive types.</p>
<p>What kind of Cancer? What type? What stage? Cancer can run anywhere from relatively banal skin cancer that just needs watching to much more lethal types. Was she given a prognosis? My wife was diagnosed last year with Ovarian Cancer and has fought hard against it and is in remission.</p>
<p>I haven’t talked to her much but I think something to do with her uterus? I don’t know anything about them. Stage 3 she said.</p>
<p>Cervical? </p>
<p>And, I’m sorry to hear that. 
My friend’s mom had breast cancer a couple years ago, but she’s doing fine now. I don’t know what stage it was though. Just be strong and support your mom all the way. I hope things work out for the best.</p>
<p>Cancer is bad :(</p>
<p>Don’t jump to any conclusions, support her and help her through the process. Medical Science has come a long way in the last few years and we have been very impressed with the Dr we have worked with; he is a renowned expert. Stay as calm as you can, give her lots of love and support. I was exactly where you were a year ago and I can tell you we are a lot better than we though we would be. God bless you and your Mom.</p>
<p>sorry kid. never let yourself think of the end, just think of today and make it the best possible for both of you.</p>
<p>I just found out that it’s cervical cancer (stage 3)</p>
<p>Okay, now you know what she is up against. Find the best medical professional that you can and work with them to go through the treatment process. For my wife it was surgery and then 6 treatments of chemotherapy. The type of chemo they used on her was not used until the very recent past so just know that they are always improving treatment. She needs to be strong and she needs to fight; you and your family can help her do both. Obviously this is not a walk in the park but it is also something that they can and will treat. Lance Armstrong was given a 5% chance and look where he is. You will hear about this per cent and that per cent but we ignored that. She is an individual and all that matters is her giving 100% and you and your family helping her.</p>
<p>Well, your family has a fight on its hands. I am truly sorry you have to go through it. But many people do, including some of my good friends and family members. But some people I know say that the lessons they learn along the way about love, about compassion, about courage, about grace are true gifts that they would have not learned any other way.</p>
<p>my grandma was just diagnosed with parkinsons</p>
<p>I think the diagnosis is the hardest part. My mom just finished radiation and chemo(she was diagnosed a year ago), but they weren’t nearly as hard on her as on other people mad it seem. She had breast cancer, stage 3, so I can truly empathize with your situation. I think it’s important to act as normally as you can, given the circumstances. It’s really stressful and hard at times, but it gets easier as the person adjusts to treatments. I am so, so sorry your family has to go through this. Just know how to get support from your family and friends, and don’t be afraid to talk about your feelings and take time for yourself.</p>
<p>Thanks guys! Greatness, all of you</p>
<p>Was this coming, or was it a surprise?</p>
<p>My grandma has parkinsons and got a blood infection and cant talk</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>One thing that really helped me was talking to her about it. After my mom came home from the hospital with her diagnosis I always went in to talk to her when she was resting in bed. This was a way for her to reassure me everything was alright and for me to reassure her I was alright.</p>
<p>We always kept positive. As hard as it was, we didn’t cry around her after she was diagnosed. She developed this mental state that made her strong willed. Your mother needs to develop this, the more positive you are the less stress and suffering you go through.</p>
<p>I usually don’t post on h.s. life, but hope that it’s OK to stop by and offer some reassurance and a resource. I have some friends who were diagnosed with cancer, and are doing fine. This includes a friend in her 70s who was diagnosed with cervical cancer about 40 years ago.</p>
<p>Just letting you know there can be lots of hope, and I wish you and your family the best.</p>
