I’m very happy to hear that your mothr has beat the odds…I wish I could say the smae. Regardles, your mother is gonna do what she pleases and there is nothinng you can do to change her mind. Just be there to support her. Maybe a support group for her may be an option…for that matter, maybe a support group for you may be an option. You should not be going through this by yourself.
I agree with everything you have written. Her breast cancer is very treatable, she has had the operation to remove the lumps, the Dr’s had to remove the nipple and sew it back on. All she has to do is quit for a couple of weeks to give her nipple chance to reattach. Believe me if she was dying I would light the blooming cigarettes for her myself. I just want her to give herself the best possible chance of getting out of this whole.
I really had to stop and think before responding to you. From my own expperience, your mother is entitled to do do as she pleases. If her breast cancer is advanced (such as my lung cancer), why should she not enjoy having a ciggerette if she wants one? If there’s a chance that her cancer can be treated, then she SHOULD do whatever it takes to cure herself…I only wish I could have such an option.
Regardless, she’s in a difficult situation and she’ll handle it the way she sees fit; just be there for her and suppport her.
She will not be told anything. She could lose her nipple if she doesn’t stop smoking. I must admit I hope she gets so sick during the therapy ( Dr’s haven’t decided yet if its going to be radio or chemo) That she stops all this metaphysical kicking and screaming.
All mothers can be a pain….especially when they’re ill. The only thing yu can do is ignore their b8tchiness and live your life. I know from my own cancer that sometimes I can be a royal pain in the *ss simply because I don’t feel well and Chuck deals with it knowing that I love him. Sometimes he needs to put me in my place and he does. I don’t really like it but it gives me the opportunity to step back and realize what I’ve done and all is well once again. Maybe you can attempt this with your mother.
You couldn’t scare me away…just remember, I suffer from lung cancer so I can deal with anything. I’m so sorry your mother has breast cancer and can’t say anything that’s going to make it better. I can however give you my support and hope that she’ll be okay. I’m also sorry that you had to give up your carpentry corse to tend to this matter but, you will be rewarded in the long run.
Cunication…..hahahahahahahahaha.
Did I scare you away?
If you don’t know what to say about what I told you the other day, then forget that I said it. I am more than a cancerous mother.
Well, I am needing to quit my carpentry course and go and look after my mum in January. She got diagnosed with breast cancer last week. I need to be there for her until she has recovered from all the treatment they are going to subject her to. Its an even longer story than that but thats the crux of it.
Not good. All hell has broken lose in my life.
Glad to hear that you are feeling better within your relationship. Are you both enjoying more loving (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)
I hadn’t heard from you in a while. Chuck and I are doing quite well. We’ve been busy getting things done for Christmas but enjoying every minute we have together. So how have you been doing?
Due to my health conditions, I go online when I can. It usually doesn’t line up with anyone else’s schedule but that’s all I can do. I really appreciate your shouts just as anyone else. It gives me a sence of connection.
Perhaps at some time in the future, I’ll be able to dedicate more time to HELP.Com as I’ve done in the past and enjoy doing so but for now; I can only do what my health issues will allow
Venting is good. Partners can be funny sometimes. They think that they are being caring, gentle and kind but sometimes all you need is normality. And a good old seeing to {;0)hehe.
I’m glad to hear that you and Chuck are managing to talk about both your concerns. If you ever need an ear just shout.
I’m not going to say the problems are smoothed out but it’s a work in progress. I really shouldn’t have made that post…guess it was my way of venting. We are trying to work things out and making progress. Part of Chuck’s concern is my health so I’M TRYING TO LET HIM KNOW THAT I AM NOT DEAD!
I have often wondered what the whispy stuff that hangs from the branches of the trees in Florida is called. Do you have any idea? I would love to see the Deco buildings of Miami but I have only been to tourist central Orlando. I concieved my daughter on American soil. Disney was good for one thing hehe.I am very good at cordiallity but talking toot I am a master lol.Speak soon Hotdog. Not sure if you want me to use your real name.
I’m doing somewhat better now that temps have dropped a little…humidity is my enemy and I must deal with it. BTW—I have no missus….just my partner but thanks for asking.
Hello mate.Shie opened you a post. http://help.com/post/208913-got-news-…
welcoming you back. I am sorry you are not getting on with the weather in Florida. Hows the missus?
I don’t like boxing either. I had a house full of blokes watching it. So I took a bath, booze and book. I like drinking white wines. It was over in 54 sec…The men folk were not best pleased.
