FUCK CANCER
About a year ago my mother was diagnosed with stage 2 lung cancer. To say it was a shock was a shock is an understatement. As a family with my 2 brothers,sister,father my mother we discussed with the doctor what her options we and she started chemo and radiation. At first things went better than expected the tumor went from the size of a soft ball to the size of a golf ball but the doctors told us that this kind of cancer has a very low cure rate. We were still hopeful but after the first round of chemo they said she had to take 3 months off before she could do the next round so her body could catch up. When she went for her scan before starting the next round we found out the tumor in her lung had grown and there was another on as well but we also found out it had spread to her brain and lymph nodes the doctors said that was bad but would still treat us and she went on another type of chemo and started radiation on the brain. The radiation was very successful and the cancer in her brain was gone but the tumor in her lung hadn't changed. Which was bad news. During all of this we were still hopeful even though she had lost her hair and was on oxygen through most of it. During all of this time we tried to make the most of what ever time we had left with her so my parents went on 4 cruises one of which my whole family went me and my two kids my sister and her twins and my brother and his daughter and my other brother and his wife. We all had a great time my family is pretty close and we usually do a cruise a year with all of us anyway but we kind of knew that this was probably the last one. After the cruise my parents told us my mother had decided to stop treatment because it wasn't working and was making her sick. About a month later my mother went to hospice because she was having trouble standing and taking care of her self and had started having some bouts of memory loss and other problems. After about a week in hospice it was like she made a full recovery but she still was having trouble taking care of her self so she decided she wanted to go to an assisted living facility. That was a month ago and she had her good days and her bad but this is the end of her story at 7:30 this morning my mother lost her battle and is with the angels now. So remember tomorrow is never promised so cherish the ones you love today. Rest In Peace mom we all love you 
Normally I post as this novelty account, but for this I must be myself.
I am very sorry to hear about your mother. Nothing will bring her back, or erase the pain, nothing but time will help to ease that helpless feeling that gnarls in your gut, that feeling you have had for the last months of her life.
Only two words will enter into your lexicon within a few years in regards to this: FUCK. CANCER. Nearly 15 years after losing my father to lung cancer (that eventually went to his brain also) it is something I say to myself almost every day, and I especially say it every time I think of him. Fuck Cancer. All we can do now is to fight, so that we and our children will not suffer this fate. Everyone has been affected by this, and together we will all fight it.
My thoughts are with you and your family. RIP.
