I just found out that my mom has cancer.

[Warhammer0351]

I didn't kow where to exactly post this. Here or in the Cabin? Anyways, I just found out my mom has cancer. She had some tests run last week on her and the results came back positive. I don't know the details like where it's at or what type/kind it is. When I get more info, I will pass it along. I do know that she said that she wasn't going to do any type of Chemo or radiation. So the doctors are trying to find an alternative way to fight it. I will keep ya'll posted as soon as I get more info. Semper Fi!

Sorry to hear the bad news. Hopefully the doctors can work their magic and help her through this. Take care and you know where we are if you need anything.

Sorry to hear that man. I don't know if I blame her for not wanting chemo. Modern medicine is pretty amazing now a days. Hopefully everything will work out ok.

[Warhammer0351]

Update: I just spoke with her to get more info. It's breast cancer. They (the docs) are going to run more tests (go figure) to get a more accurate examination/results on Tuesday. I won't know anything more until after those tests are run. Thank ya'll for your support. Does anybody have any info on this topic for? I.E., known anybody who has/had breast cancer, results, outcomes, etc. Any and all info would be great! Also, any advice I should do to support/tell her? Thanks again! Semper Fi!

Best of luck to you and your family

Hi my love

Really sorry to hear your news but hey ...they can perform miracles these day when it comes to breast cancer!

I Have a few aunts who have had it and they are fine now. If it is caught early enough they can get away with a lumpectomy (remove cancerous area only) and some Radiation. If it has been there a little longer and had chance to travel to the lymph glands then yes Chemo is the next stage unfortunately. I say unfortunately because it is quite a nasty treatment but very effective.

There is so much info on the internet for her to read up on but positive thinking is the first stage in the fight! And family support goes without saying ;-)

I hope it is not too rough for her, keep us posted.

[WrenchSlinger]

Sorry to hear, I know exactly how you feel, my mother was diagnosed about 5 years ago and did all the stuff the doctors said and is doing fine today.

My wife could probably answer your questions better than me, her sister and best friend also went thru it and she learned a lot as she helped them.

Sorry to hear, Dad got diag with a blood cancer early this year. If you need any questions about research trials just email me, there alot going on. I can look any up if the Dr talks about them.

[ECHOx4xVICTOR]

My grandmother had breast cancer. Back then they removed a breast. (before i could remember) They were able to get it all and she lived for many more years after that. Not to mention creeping me out as a kid with the fake one and throwing it at friends during arguements at card games.:)

[tracker_usmc]

Sorry to hear the bad news. My sister-in-law was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. They caught it early but she opted to have her one breast removed and since then all her tests have been negative. She is having her reconstructive surgery this summer. My prayers are with you and your family.

Semper fi!

[GriffinSentinel]

Sorry to hear about you mom. My prayers go out to you and your family.

[Bull3tBait]

I too am sorry to hear about your mom. Stay strong for her. You and your family are in my prayers.

[Warhammer0351]

UPDATE: Well, my mom went to the doctor yesterday to get some more results. The docs told her she does NOT have cancer! BUT, there IS a hard lump about the size of a golfball that could become cancerous. She is going to have surgery after the first of the year to have it removed. And hopefully that will resolve everything. The docs think it will. Semper Fi!

[Bull3tBait]

Great News. Guess all our prayers were answered for you.

[ladym123]

Yes great news...what a relief for you all!

Now go hug your mum for USMG! :D

[Lorimere]

That's Great news man.

Happy holidays!

That is great news! Well the non cancerous part. :rolleyes:

[David_3033]

Good news man! Hope she still has a good surgery and everything works out.

[Amiable Horde]

i couldn't imagine the scare you guys must of had. glad to hear everything is getting better

[Warhammer0351]

Well, as I have stated in an earlier post on this topic, my mom has to have surgery. And tomorrow is the day she goes in to have it done. The docs still have high hopes that after removing the lump, she will be good to go. The only concern that they have is her age. She is 75. They hope she takes the surgery well. My brother is coming in from Austin and my sister is coming in from Louisiana to help out. I'm cooking two 5 pound briskets to help out. One is for my sister, she requested for me to cook her one so she can take back home with her. Lol!! And the other is for my mom so she won't have to cook or anything like that for the next few days at least. I will keep you guys posted on the surgery as I get more details. Semper Fi!!!

[Ironhide400]

I hope everything goes well! We will keep your Mom and your whole family in our prayers.

I wish you were my brother :rolleyes: My brother wouldn't even know what brisktet is! :p

Come to think of it...what is brisket exactly? :rolleyes:

lol!

[Warhammer0351]

Lady, brisket is really good meat. LOL!! It's beef and you can smoke cook it on a bbq pit, or just plain bbq it. I like to marinade mine overnight and roast it with a little garlic and onions. Then I throw some Liquid Smoke on it while it's cooking to give it even more flavor. Don't really know how to describe it. It's just REALLY good! A fav around these parts here in Texas!! Semper Fi!!

[Warhammer0351]

Ok. My mom had a good surgery. She is at home now recovering. All went well! Yay! She is just really sore now. The food was AWESOME yesterday! My sis brought some boudain balls from La.! Yummy! And Lady, ya'll are welcome here in Texas anytime you feel like coming over! Lol! Semper Fi!!

[Ironhide400]

That is great to hear!

[MARDIGRA21]

Glad to hear everything went great

[ASignorelli]

Hey Bro, My mom has 2 types of cancer. One in her bone marrow, and also lymphoid cancer in her neck. Anyways, she has to be on a special diet now to slow the progression of cancer. But what you need to know is that they are doing some P53 experiments coming up soon. P53 is a protein that can reshape bad DNA and make it good DNA. Since cancer is just a mutated strand of DNA that can't stop multiplying and isn't used for anything, scientists think that P53 can stop the mutation growth, and even reduce it in size so that they can extract it easily. You should really look into it, and see if any place near you is doing this. My mom has already signed up.

Awesome to hear man, but if it ever shows back up, and I really hope not, then you should look into P53.

[ladym123]

Great news! Glad all went well :)

I'll save up the air miles lol!

What's up with your mum Sigs?
