in Breast Cancer #1
I just found out tonight there is a chance my grandma has breast cancer. I am so stressed out. I have been caring for my husband who has oral cancer and now this!! I just lost my Dad in 09 to brain cancer. I don't know how much more I can take!! Anyone else feel hopeless?

    I'm so sorry for what you
    I'm so sorry for what you are going through. You said your Grandma, may have breast cancer. It could be something else. Try not to stress to much until you know. It could be something benign and harmless. I'm sorry for the loss of you Dad, and hope your husband is doing well. Do you have some one to talk to ( counselor clergy best friend ). You know you can always come here. We will all be here for you always. Please let us know how your Grandma and your husband are doing. You are all in my prayers and thoughts. Sending strength to you. Please take care of your self. Kay

    I can not even imagine -- what stress you are under ...
    Concentrate on your husband and kids. Please have someone close accompany Grandma so she is not alone -- breast cancer is so overwhelming -- not to mention all the appointments, testing, new language and possible choices that must be made regarding her course of treatment and/or surgery. Praying it is not breast cancer.

    Please contact the Social Worker at your Oncology group and see if he/she can refer you and your family to a 'cancer' therapist.

    Strength, Courage, Hope and Prayers.

    I am so sorry
    You must be feeling so overwhelmed and stressed right now. Hoping and praying your grandma doesn't have BC. I do know how you are feeling.... I've had a very rough 2 yrs. In 2009 I lost my mother (uterine cancer), my husband lost his job, after 20 yrs... then in 2010, my FIL passed suddenly from a massive heart attack and my BIL passed from esoph. cancer after a brave, protracted battle. If it's any comfort, you are not alone. Stay strong,
    Hugs,
    Cindy

    Praying
    Praying it isn't bc for your grandma.Hope your husband gets better and prognosis is good.Sorry for the losses you also have been through lately.I feel like you in a way.Seems like every month something is happening.Waiting for results of my husband's lung X ray next week.He said he saw 4 large black places but he isn't a radiologist.I never look at my X rays when getting them.I prefer to wait and get the results from my doctor.

    Hope things get better real soon for you and your family.

    I am so sorry that you are
    I am so sorry that you are having to deal with all of this - it is overwhelming. I secoond (or third) the suggestion that you and your family get some help - counselor, clergy, etc - so you are not dealing with this stress by yourself. We are all here for you but it is always good to have someone face to face for support. Please know you are in my prayers.

    Hugs,
    Paam
