How fast do they go?

My mother may have cancer of the lungs. we will find out on friday. but for now i am trying to keep my hopes up and pretend like nothing is wrong.

how soon, if she does have it, will it be before she passes?

how am i saposed to deal with it?

I dont know anything for sure yet but i am keeping my hopes up and thinking only the best of things.

It all depends on how far along it is, if that is in fact what it is.

My cousin was afraid of a lung cancer diagnosis, but it turned out to be scaring on his lungs.

For now all you can do is wait and be there, hoping for the best, if it turns out to be the worst, you can deal with it together while you can and hopefully alleviate a small portion of the inevitable pain.

I wish you and your family the best and hope everything turns out okay.

Thanks for all your help.
i guess i will just have to wait till friday and hope for the best.

Wow it makes me feel so bad to hear about your situation. My sister went through a similar situation in september. She was diagnosed with leukemia. She died about 7 hours after being diagnosed.
i know how you feel, and i hope your mother gets better

Thanks for all the help

i wont know for sure untill tuesday now.....these doctors keep changing the date.

but i am hopping for the best and preparing for the worst.

thanks for all you help

Heres a better question, to ask yourself. What can I do to make every moment count? Piece.

I dont know what i can do.

my mother has a lot of medical problems. i have always been the "mother" in the house. i do the cooking, cleaning, everything.

but when ever she has a test like this one so see how much 'time' they are taking off her life expectancy she shuts down. she goes into a shell. there is no talking to her, getting close to her, anything.

she said once that she is pushing us away to protect us if something bad were to be discovered in the results. but i dont buy that.

and i dont know how to: change it. help her. get close. show how much i care. act like nothing is wrong.

Their is a time in everyone's life when they have to be strong.

This is your test and somthing you have to realize. The task at hand and your mother's death. If it happens it happens you must move past this. I have no idea how hard this could be, but you must get past the childish mindset of hopelessness.

All this means is you have to face the real world at a younger age. You must be strong for yourself. Be alittle selfish for once, and learn to humble your mind. If you do not look at the world in a new view you will be consumed.

Do not fall, but isntead rise. Step up to the plate and become somone. Because in the end, nothing worth having is easy. So remember, is life worth having?

I am being strong but not for myself...i am being strong for everone else.

^^
that is strong and i know what your saying but right now (or even in the past 3 years or so) i have not seen any value in existance. i have only stayed on earth todate for my family (they would fall apart without me to do everything for them).

They are now saying that they dont know for sure cuz the tissue sample they took was not big enough....so now they have to try another test.
