Hunny god does idiotic things.. I'm helping take care of my friends mother who has bone cancer and it's a struggle for me everyday but I remember its something god needs me to go threw.. It's possibly a lesson.. a messed up one but a lesson none the less... Anywho you and your mother will be in my prayers.. Im hoping it isnt this horrible disease and its something curable that wont hurt her or cause her any pain in any way.

Pooh, I am so sorry to hear and I empathize. I hope it's something the doctors can do something about. Some tumors are not cancer, so may that be the case. May God bless you and your family and may He heal her. My Mom had a tumor. It was called a sarcoma of the omentum. By the time she knew something was wrong, it was too late and it was rather rare, plus, she was 76 and had myriad other ailments.

by being down about it your only going to bring her down with you. dont change your emotions no matter how bad it may be because positive thinking can and does help.

What you are feeling is completely normal, trust me I know. And you aren't thinking anything that she herself isn't so it's best to share the worries and be positive together. Don't walk on eggshells...reinforce each other. And others are right...not all tumors, if that's even what it is, are cancer.

Pooh, has your mom had any ct's or pet scans yet? Those are the tests that will determine the exct size of the tumor and where it is actually located. My father just found out 2 weeks ago that he has lung cancer and these tests help to determine the course of treatment that is best for each person.

I am sorry to hear that...I will say prayers for you & your mom. My mom passed away from lung & bone cancer.I was very close to her also,I wish I had spent more time with her when & after she was diagnosed.I fell apart even though I did all I could at the time it all happened so fast. You are doing a wonderful thing by being with her & supporting & love . My best to you.

I think we all ask God from time to time why he allows the bad things in the world to happen. I know I do. But the most important thing you can do is put aside your own fears and be strength for your mother. The biggest battle with cancer is keeping hope and fighting back. I am a 3 time cancer survivor I know this well. And don't believe that you can't win even if you are told it's terminal. Doctor's are not always right and no one is going to pass untill it is thier time to be called home, no matter what the doctors say. If I had given up and laid down without a fight I would be dead 3 times over. They said I would be but here I am 12 almost 13 years later alive and kicking. Keep the Faith~ I will say a prayer for both you and your mom~

((((pooh)))) I had a scare with cancer last year and asked the same question...WHY ME??? After I got over the self made pitty party...and was starting to be more accepting of it...I asked myself, WHY NOT ME!? Cancer isn't discriminating. As it turned out, I was ok...and I hope and prayer your mother will be also.
