Lost my mother November 15 2001 (49 yrs old). It was breast cancer at first. Radiation and chemo and surgery got it. We had our hopes up and were loving life when her hips started hurting real bad. Test come back bone cancer. The most painful of them all. 4 months later she passed. We were real close. I could not speak of it for 5 yrs. and after over 10 yrs it's still tough. I'm a man of faith as was she. Her favorite scripture and something she found comfort in was John 5:19-24 and John 5:28-29

Damn man, thats a tough one. Sorry for your loss. If I remember your age right you were only a few years older than I am right now. I couldnt imagine going through that right now, or even a couple of years from now. And at 49, thats really young.

This threads startin to bum me out..

heres an update from my mom, i copied and pasted it from facebook since its kind of a lot of info.

Had a review of a CT scan this morning. The good news is that the cancer has NOT spread to other parts of my body. The bad news is that the tumor did not shrink after 3 chemo infusions as hoped. At this point the cancer is contained as the tumor itself. It did change shape and is no longer "inflamed" or causing irritation to other organs. Good for me as I haven't had any pain or major discomfort from carrying this thing around. In this case, the chemo did help as the tumor stopped growing/spreading. As of now, surgery will hopefully be scheduled in the next couple of weeks. They had hoped the tumor would shrink enough for easier removal, but at this point they will have to do the best they can with removing it at its present ~11.90 cm size. It's original size was ~12.97 cm. It did shrink a tiny bit but they still consider it pretty large. Will keep you posed as to how the surgery will go and results afterwards. Three more chemo infusions will continue after the surgery to finish the 6-phase infusion process. Good news or bad news depends on how you look at it, I guess.

Man I hope all goes well. It's a crazy feeling not knowing what's going to happen next.

Yeah, its the worst. They scheduled surgery for the may 7 and she has an appointment this coming thursday for an overview of what exactly theyre going to do. the most important thing is that the cancer hasnt spread and the tumor is self contained so if surgery goes smooth, after the last 3 chemo infusions it SHOULD be smooth sailing.

o my gosh... i have been insanely busy lately and haven't been on my computer in forever. I just found this. You guys are awesome. I am not gonna lie. i found this and i got a little teary eyed. I recently just spent the entire day Friday in the cemetery hanging with my family and my sister alone. Did a lot of soul searching. I have had a rogh couple of weeks around the house hold. Friday sarah would have been 17 years young. And the weekend before that would have been the prom she went to last year that she would have been to this year. I never got to see her in her prom dress because i had to work that weekend. and at that point in time we thought she had a lot more time then she actually did. I missed many things like this that i will forever kick myself for. I am still working on doing a huge get together but this legal stuff is never ending. and finances to pay for lawyers and accountants is taxing heavily. So it will take time. i am now looking at next summer or spring for a huge event. That way all my ducks are in order and i to will have my truck ready. I am possibly going through a career change in the process also so i am busy to say the least. I appreciate all the support this cause gets. My heart goes out to all who have to suffer through this stuff... I am not a religious man but i have seen first hand some out of this world happenings. and again as always anyone ever needs help or is in the illinois area getting treatments for anything hit me up. i would love to come up and meet you and your family. I am going to post some pics of relation to this topic. we took them friday on sarahs bday.
