Almost 2 years ago now I lost my mom to lung cancer, when she was first diagnosed she was in stage 4 of the disease but opted to have chemo to try and beat the cancer. August 15th 2009 was her initial diagnosis date. Early august 2010 the oet scan results came back and told us she had beat the cancer! We were beyond greatful. Words couldn't express how relieved we were. A few days later my moms leg was giving her severe pain so she went back to the dr and had another pet scan.... The results came back and what it showed was unreal. Her cancer had come back in her bones, adrenal gland, lymph nodes, back, ect. She passed away exactly one year to the day she was first diagnosed, August 15th 2010. Before she had been diagnosed her younger sister had colon cancer and beat that so it gave us hope that she could do this. While my mother was sick we found out my aunts cancer came back in several places, On her cyatic nerve, in her lymph nodes, her lungs, now it is surfacing on her skin and she can no longer walk. She will be lucky to have 2 more weeks at this point. This is devistating to our family. My grandmother lost her hubby to lung cancer when I was 19, her eldest daughter (my mom) to lung cancer, and now her baby who will be the same age as my mom was when she passed which is 53. My aunt has 3 daughters, the youngest is 16. My moms death still haunts me to this day, I have struggled with manic depression and had a few nervous breakdowns which required hospitalization. I don't think I can handle another loss. My grandmother will have lost her immediate family in chronological order, I worry about her too. My aunt never drank,smoked or anything and was always fit and very active. My mom and grandfather both smoked, So do I even tho I watched both of them take their last breath I still can't seem to kick the habit, especially now when most days I can't go on without breaking down and crying several times thruout the day. My heart hurts for my aunt, my grandma and my aunts children, not so much her hubby because of his negative comments about my mom when she was dying. Those kids need their mother! If I could switch places with her I would surely do so if it meant she would be able to live. It's extremely hard to handle and I am scared to death of the weeks to come. I can't even push myself to enter a hospital anymore because of everything that has gone on. I need lots and lots of prayers even tho it is probably tooo late for her pray for her family to get thru this please
