Sweet Ember, I am so sorry to hear such sad health news about your dear Mum. Altho the news sounds grim, I agree with getting a second opinion if possible. Meanwhile, I know it goes without saying you'll squeeze all the love, joy and quality time you can being with her during this time continuing to make special memories. My dear Mom in a BC survivor, but sadly I lost my dear Dad to the beast, so know this heartache. Sending prayers for your Mum, you, and all your family during these difficult days.
Godspeed

I'm so sorry Ember. This is truly devastating news. Please know that we are thinking of you and praying for both you and your mum. Please take this opportunity to say everything you need to say to your mum, so there are no "if only"s later.

I am so sorry. She is only a year older then me. Yes she is still very young.

I'm so sorry to hear this - but please don't give up hope.. I have a neighbor here who was diagnosed with a very rare, inoperable (wrapped around other organs) terminal pancreatic tumor.. He was given the same life expectancy as your mom.. His wife refused to accept it and found a doctor at one of the big medical centers in Boston who felt he could treat it and prolong my neighbors life.. That was almost six years ago and he's still with us.. Last summer was a tough one for him - he became pretty ill again - but this year he is doing quite well..

Right now you are stunned and very upset - and rightly so - but after you have had some time to digest this news, start getting second, third, and fourth opinions.. You may not find a "cure" (my neighbor is not cured), but you may find someone, somewhere that can prolong your mom's life expectancy..

Yesterday I learned that my Mum has inoperable, terminal cancer. I am heart sick and broken.

There is a tumor near the gallbladder and second one wrapped around the artery and vein of the liver. Survival is less that 5% and the doctor says 6 to 8 months, with a year being optimistic. I don't know what to do with myself.

She is only 53. And I'm too young to be an orphan.

My thoughts and prayers are wtih you and your Mum. By the "too young to be an orphan" statement, I assume you have no Dad around or any other family? While it will not help you at the moment, please remember that we are all orphans at some point. Yours just may come decades before you thought possible. Your Mum is going to need every bit of support you can spare in the coming months. I pray for a miracle for you both.

I'm so sorry about your mom. Both of you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Your mom is going to need you so take care of yourself during these hard times.

I am so sorry. It is so difficult to lose your mother. Make every moment you have left, precious. Write down her recipes, family stories, etc.

 

[Ember]

Thank you. Thank you for the support, the encouragement, and the stories. You have no idea how much they all mean to me right now.

I have moved home to be with my mum for whatever time is left. Be it months or years. My mum is my best friend. She always has been. There are times when the thought that she won't be here catches me and I feel like I've been punched in the throat. I can't breathe.

We are going to fight this. As a family.

Thank you again.
