Hello Everyone,
I am new to all of this. My mom was just diagnosed with stage four cancer in Jan. She has already been through the radiation and is currently working on the chemo. She was taking some type of chemo and the Dr. said that it was not working that the cancer had spread even more. So she is currently trying a different chemo. I am hoping that this one work. I am only 20 years old my mom is only 56 years old. I currently am carrying her first grandchild due in october. I am just praying she makes it through this okay. This is how it all started out. She had been going to the Doctors at depaul hospital since july of 08 and they kept telling her she had pnemonia or she had mr. arthur well....Her mother was very sick in jan of 09 so she left va and went to nc to be with her mom she was in nc for about 1&1/2 weeks and her mom passed...so when we got back to va after the funeral and everything i then took her to norfolk general hospital. where the doctors then told us she had cancer and it was at stage four wow big shock for us considering she had been to the dr since july of 08 and this "mass" that was suppose to be pnemonia is apparently cancer...This is really really rough on me and im doing my best to stay strong for it but its really hard..and then being pregnant makes it even harder to stay strong but im trying. also i needed to know if there was anywhere anyone knew of that will make wigs of ur hair for someone else

Hang in there hone, it's a travesty what has happened to your Mom. Check with your Oncology Clinic they usually know of someone in the area that will make wigs. Even though they seem like deamons they do care and help. The disease makes you bitter. I also am a caretaker for my 50 yr old husband and I am 45 so your Mom is still young. Pray and be vigilent with her care, if you don't agree ask questions or go somewhere else. It could save her life. Take care of yourself nothing will make Mom happier than a new grandchild.
I will keep you in my prayers. God Bless you all.
