Hello Folks
I said I would let you know what happened when Mum went to see the hospital today!
Well... I am just in bits here...Mum just phoned and told me the hospital does not want to see her any more... there is nothing more they can do!
She has to just take more morphine to keep the pain under control
The doctor has told her what to expect and has given her 8 WEEKS
Mum said they may be wrong...bless her heart!!!...she has so much faith
I am terrified and just dont know what do do
I will go to Mums as planned on saturday this week with my younger sister and see how things are
Tonight I will speak to work and explain the situation and hopefuly I will get time off to go down to look after Mum and Dad
Thanks again for everyones concern...it has helped so much!

Dont worry its what we are all here for. Yea, just try to enjoy all the time you have with her. Before my dad passed away i made sure i told him all that i wanted to say. Word of caution, try not to act too different...be as normal as possible. It helps in there fight. My mum was calling my dad all the names under the sun as she always did through the years!! Made my dad laugh lots!!
If you act strange she will pick that up, as my dad did with me, and it may make her sad...be yourself, i know its hard, enjoy your time and keep dropping by these boards...best of luck to you and your loved one.xx

hi
i know what you are going through,i lost my dad on the 18th october and my mam on the 23rd of nov,i still hav'nt come to terms with it. i lived next to them so i saw them every day and done everything for them. We had no warning that my dad was going to die we just thought he was going into hospital to get his meds changed,then they informed us that he had leukemia and he died two days later.My mother had her stomach removed and we thought she was doing fine, went for her checkup and they said they did'nt want to see her again untill her next checkup.a few weeks later she went down hill so we phoned the hospital and they said to bring her in ,they had a bed for her,after the test they informed us that a limph node next to her liver must have had a tiny speck of cancer in it that they missed and it had spread. There was nothing they could do so we brought her home.All of the family was with her ,she could not sleep ,drink,or eat and we could tell that she wanted to go and join my dad ,she had had enough.After we all said our goodbyes ant told her how much we loved her the nurses came in and put her on what you call a syringe driver ,she fell asleep and two days later she died.but what was so strange was seconds before she died she open'd her eye's and looked at both sides of the bed,i think she was checking to make sure we were all there.I will never forget that night,but i am glad i was with her every day till the end.I don't think i will ever come to terms with it,i want them back so much.Thinking of you at this sad time. love jill

I'm so sorry Virgo Girl. You must be just going through hell right now.

It does make me slightly annoyed though that doctors do give these life expectancies. Ok I know some people demand to know how long they think they have left, but the damage it must to do have a life sentence hanging over you. I can imagine that it just finishes some people off.

All I can say is, never give up hope. Ok the medical profession have given up on your mother but that doesn't mean there is no hope. Get out there on the Internet and read up. If anything there are things that can help your mum with her blood counts and keeping her infection free. There is nothing worse than to have regrets that you didn't try everything. My mum passed away in October and back in January she was put on some very extreme Chemo which the doctors didn't even think it was worth doing. It made her very sick and I often regret we took this course of action. But once the doctors turned her away we went alternative. We tried everything we could afford and even though it didn't work for her I don't regret this at all. I believe that the small hope it gave her was enough to give her a few more months of life. But don't forget to also make the most of this time by being with your mum. This is really important as is what fatherson said about trying to be how you were before. This is very true as my mum would get a bit tearful when we being "out of character" as I think she picked up on us knowing she wouldn't make it. And the main thing is for your mum to be as high spirited as possible.

Enjoy your time back home. I wish you all the best.

I was truly saddened to hear about your mother. I have lost my father, father-in-law, and mother-in-law to cancer. It is a sad day when the doctors tell a cancer victim that they can no longer help. My wife also has battled cancer 3 times in her life and is presently cancer free, thank God.

I am writing you to share some info that we have learned concerning cancer at the stage that your mother is in. Not to give you false hopes, but there are numerous cases where the doctors have sent patients home to basically pass away where, at last results, the patient seeks alternative cures that prove to work.

[b]Dr. Nicholas Gonzales[/b] in New York specializes in treating cancer patients at your mother's stage using the Kelly Treatment (Nutrition & Detoxification) which has a 20+ year success rate. In fact, he will not see a patient unless the traditional doctors have sent them home to live out their last days. Dr. Gonzales has a well document success rate in reversing cancer. He can be reached at 212-535-3993.

[b]Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski[/b] is another doctor with a well document success rate in reversing cancer in the later stages. He is in Texas and can be reached at 713-777-8233.

A third avenue to explore at this stage is the Wheat Grass Therapy. Cancer cannot survive in an oxygen enriched environment and this therapy loads the body with oxygen. Contact the Ann Wigmore Foundation in Boston at 617-267-9492.

Additionally, there is a new product that detoxifies the body from the chemical pollutants that are a primary cause of cancer. This product, Natural Cellular Defense, is having tremendous results in both stopping and reversing cancers, alzheimer's, autism, and more.

Although NCD is sold as a supplement, it is patented as a cancer drug. Due to the established medical laws, no one can make any cancer curing or reversing statements about its abilities, However, there are hundreds of success testimonies concerning this product and its abilities. ( See http://personalhealthoptions.info )

As a result of my wife's battle with cancer and her experience with traditional doctors, we have done considerable research concerning alternative cancer treatments and are 100% convinced that there is, in fact, [u]hope[/u] at all stages of cancer via these treatments.

I recommend the following books. My wife found them at amazon.com for pennies on the dollar:

[b]How to Fight Cancer and Win[/b] by William L. Fischer

[b]Options - The Alternative Cancer Therapy Book[/b] by Richard Walters

[b]Prescription for Nutritional Healing[/b] by Phyllis A. Balch, cnc

[b]World Without Cancer by[/b] Ed Griffen

As stated above, it is not my intention to offer false hopes, but I truly wish that we had come across this information before we lost my father and her parents.

Please fell free to call my wife or I toll free at: 866-213-2706

May God Bless,
pete

I'm sorry to hear that.

BUT we must never give up. I cannot be sure of this, and I have never tried it nor know anyone personally who tried it:

1) Go for alternative & complementary cancer treatments, now that the conventional methods rejected her.

2) The ones I would recommend is detoxification of the body through fruit juicing.

3) Get organic carrot, beetroot, green apple and celery. Juice it for your mum 4 times a day.

4) For her meals, get her to eat brocolli, green and red spinach, and brown rice.

5) Remember, everything must be ORGANIC.
