Such great news! It just makes my day. Thanks for sharing. Jeano

Thanks Folks!!! I wasn't super worried, but it sure is nice to get a break from all the craziness of testing this and that!

Much love and health to you all <3

Thank you, you all have been great support.

The plan of action:
First is to share with my daughter her 50/50 chance of having the gene this weekend. Then share with sisters, niece.
I am going to have my ovaries out in the next few months. (at least this surgery will be a band-aid surgery)
Continue to eat all this healthy vegan shit and supplements.
Find a clinical trial with my doctors.

Finally, have fun while working on the bucket list!!!

deb_U_taunt · 02-26-2013, 07:48 PM

I honestly can say I love you all. Its a very unconditional place to vent, pout and yeehaw.

Deb, I am just now seeing your post. It surely is a shock but you sound strong and ready to fight. I am sending love and healing energy to you.
There are lots of people here who love you and are in your corner. Come here to vent or whatever you feel like. Jeano

~ my mother has cancer ~

while she is not meant to b with me much longer, i find myself @ a loss as to ask god what i can say for her in my prayers. i dont think anything can prepare me for the loss of another parent. am i supposed to b ready for this? if so...i cant say i feel it. chemo is suppose to extend her life...but i dont see it giving her any quality. all i know is that all the joy in my life has left..it is replaced with a knawing sorrow of what is eniveitable. i understand what its like to not b able to do anything for someone whom u love n cant......... the uneviable position of feelin helpless ....

The shock is wearing off now. Its going to be a hard family conversation. I didn't share with them I was doing the test, since when I brought it up before it caused one sister to have a temper tantrum thinking I was telling her she was going to get cancer. She created some family drama, but its not just about her. Hell, its doesn't mean I will get cancer again.

Fireheart, I am so sorry about your mom. I don't know what to say. It is hard to watch someone we love leave us. Hold on to good memories when you look in her eyes. Sending lots or love, prayers and hugs to you and your family.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{Fire}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}....as my beautiful BFF deb said..there are no words except the love, comfort, and support we each offer here. Make every moment you have with her a memory. Tell her of your love for here every chance you get. Sometimes a hug does wonders.
I know this is a tragic journey, heartbreaking...to feel so helpless, powerless to make things all better for your mom....but know we here send you love, support, and feel free to come and vent here anytime. May your mom and you find comfort and peace within for this journey. Perhaps a support group in your area...there are some incredible people there as well who could walk with you in this journey...ask the local SW at the hospital...I care....

I guess they didn't learn their lesson last time. "They are on your left they are on your right they are in front of you and they are behind you. They can't get away this time !!"
LET ME SEE YOUR WARFACE !!!! I am only a phone call away friend .

Yeah, it is, and it is open 24/7.

Some rough stuff comes our way, and fight as we can, tough as we are, and gentle as a lamb at times, we understand.

My best advice came from my Mom's chemo oncologist.

Go have lunch, smile at each other and see if you have anything in your teeth. Other than that, share the good and the bad, and most of all just listen. The words and the tears will come and go.

Lung cancer, then a heart attack took my Mom too early, and she was gone when I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer, but I talked it over with her anyway.
Now, I need to look up some stuff....love the internet
