Lost my mother to cervical cancer on July 9, 2012
I'm still in disbelief and by joining this community, I now realise that I'm not the only one in pain. My mother was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2010 and since then, my family hasn't known peace. Mother used to be very happy and a very outgoing person. She showed us all the love that a mother ever could. I love her so much and I never thought that such a time would come when I would live without her. I know how much pain you are going through and I can guarantee you that one can ever be prepared for the loss of a mother. I feel lost too because I depended so much on her for advice and mentoring. I was with her during her very last minutes and believe me, I screamt for God to bring her back.
Looking back at her pain and all the therapies she went through, I at times thank God for taking her because I know that she is in pain no more. I feel sad but find comfort in God. I hope this encourages you too.

losing your Mom
How is going for you now? Are you manageing to get through this loss in your life?
How are you dealing with it?

I've had stomach cancer but have survived because they caught it early. Long story. But I lost my daughter 13 years ago at the age of 36, and I can certainly understand your pain, even though everyone views their pain differently, it is devastating to go through, but it is a part of life. Make the most of your life..... because that is what your Mom would have wanted for you. Don't you agree?

Let me know how you are doing.

Father has Stage 4, too.
My thoughts and prayers are going for you and your family. This is not an easy journey and my heart feels for all who have to go through this. It is encouraging to know that others have these feelings of anger and fear. It is just so hard to figure out what to do with these feelings.

My father was diagnosed with Stage 4 Stomach Cancer in May 2011. He was 55 at the time and in good health, so we went the chemotherapy route. The first 4 rounds, his body had a very tough time. After each round, he wound up in the hospital getting blood transfusions. By September, a piece of his tumor broke off and caused a GI bleed. We were also told that this could have been caused by Lovenox injections to his stomach. Either way, we were never given a clear answer and were told that he was dying and we should contact our family. So we did just that. When my mother was finally able to go back and see my father (who was in ICU at this time), he was fine. He was sitting up, talking, and wondering why people were coming back to see him. He was out of the hospital in a weeks time.

His body recovered and we started with a new chemotherapy regimen- one he would be able to come home with. This chemo seemed to be really well. He had treatments from October 2011- March of 2012. Our oncologist told us to stop for the time being for his body to get a break. It looked like his cancer had not spread and he was doing fine. In July of 2012, he was even able to walk me down the aisle and was stronger than ever. We went away on vacation in August and fished daily. Towards the end of the trip, he began vomiting bile. His appetite stopped and he was experiencing constipation. We began chemo back up the week after. His body did not handle it well. He began vomiting more frequently and in large amounts and my mother took him into the ER where he was admitted. That was September 8th. Since then, they placed him on IV fluids, antibiotics, and TPN for nutrition. He had an NG Tube in for 12 days. His heart went into A-Fib and he was transported to the Tele-Monitor floor. It pains me to see him every day- still vomiting bile and sometimes blood. It pains me to know that he thinks he'll get better. His oncologist was surprised he lasted over the weekend and told me on Monday that he wouldn't last the night. It is Thursday now, and he is still kicking. But the worst part is yet to come, as I know he will soon lose his battle. I feel for all of you who are also going through this. This cancer makes me angry and confused. He was an athlete most of his life and worked as a corrections' officer in a prison. Strong heart and strong body. This makes no sense. My thoughts are with all of you and your loved ones.
