We are sending good thoughts
We are sending good thoughts and prayers to you and your mother.
Unfortunately this is not uncommon. I was in remission for 30 months and found out the Big C was worse then ever. More Surgery, more Chemo, and now in remission again. CEA was 1125 and now CEA 2.0
This is why several people talk a lot about Diet, Hydration and Exercise. That is the basis of good health.
Be strong for your mother. She needs that more then ever. It is also ok to cry, and share a moment. Believe me we have all cried and then went on to be strong, to get healthy.
Best Always, mike0 -
A long journey
It is a long journey this fight- I have been at it 8 years with long periods NED but in stage 4 the reality is mainly like this for many of us. However, the longer we manage this illness the more advances that davelop and the more hope we haev of really beating it.
Go on holiday and enjoy that time. Let your mum build her strength physically and mentally to face the next battle. Squeeze evey moment of joy and every drop of pleasure out of your time together. You are clearly doing a great job as a carer too so take time to gather your own strength- she is going to need to draw on it at times.
Will be thinking of you,steve0 -

She has it right
She said she did it before and she'll do it again. That is all we can do. One day at a time. I had the summer off from treatments 2010, and I've been off treatments since December - 7 months now! But it is likely I'll have to do something again at some point. The reality is most stage IV is not cured. But it is not an immediate death sentence either. We beat it down for a bit, and it rears its ugly head again, so we beat it some more!0 -

We all live it one day at a time. Even in the Lord's prayer it's "Our daily bread." Also we are all aging at the same rate as the newborn babies. LOL0 -
