Mom just diagnosed with cancer.. Equals bad for me

My mom was just diagnosed with breast cancer. I am already depressed, dont have a dad or friend to talked to as they both died. Help me please

here for you, with healing compassion, jamie

The more information you can obtain the better. You will need to find out her prognosis. Then you can know more as to what to expect. That way if it isn't bad, you will know. And if it is, you will know that you need a lot of support. Know that we are all here for you. I hope it isn't bad. And know that if it is, you need to concentrate on spending as much time with her as possible. This is where you want to make the most of every minute with her.

I lost many people in my life. It isn't easy. I have had my own scares too. But you can get through this. And we will be there to help you.

Hugs, Karen

Thanks. My mom hasn't told me yet, she just told me that and by accident. I don't think she wants me to worry. But I hope I can figure it out soon or I will become more scared.

Thanks so much and they caught the cancer later on, but they are treating it. :(
I went to my guidance counsler and she didn't believe me so she called my mom and my mom told her. Boy she was embarrassed. But I'm much more at peace now, not happy obviously but at peace. Thanks so much for your support.

Swim chick....I am so sorry to hear about your mom however, there is alot to be hopeful for they have come so far in treatment for breast cancer. Sending you positive energy and keeping you in my prayer......

Bless you, Amy

Hi Swim,

I can't believe that your counselor did that. Is there a reason that they wouldn't believe you? That is just plain rude as posted above...

I hope that your mom's cancer is treatable. Find out as much as you can about it. It is good to stay on top of things. I bought a book on cancer when I started having people I loved get it. It kept me on top of all things so that I understood what was going on. I have a friend with nonhodgkins lymphoma. He has been in remission for a long time. He is scared that it is going to come back. I told him to relax and enjoy the remission. I hope that he does. He is worrying needlessly about something he can't control. I guess though whenever he thinks things are fine, they find another lump. I am praying for your mom and him both.

One day at a time. That is all you can do. We are here for you.

Hugs, Karen

Zoey,

I am glad that she knows now that you aren't lieing. Maybe she will be of more help for you now. I hope so, if not, change therapists. You deserve somebody good that is going to help you. I hope that this one comes around. Changing makes you have to go over everything all over again, but you need good support. So make sure she is giving that to you....

Take care friend.

Hugs, Karen

Im so sorry for whatever your going through. Hope and pray that she gets better. Keep praying for her. When you feel a whole in your chest, go and pray out loud. You will feel much better. I do that all the time and it helps me. May you get peace. Keep us updated on how shes doing. LOts of love.

Yeah I do karen. I also am seeing someone but it ain't that great of a time with her.

You're not alone, even when you think you are, you need to change the shift of your thinking. My dad left me when I was a kid, I mean abandoned me, and my mom has got depression. I know it's not the same. But I'm also alone, I just go to college and don't have friends really. I just pray. I'll pray for you. And if you need someone to talk to, I'm here.

That could just be the cancer treatments making your mom feel weaker, but
hopefully that will improve...many prayers...I'm glad you got a journal...and
you do sound happier...very good....

It sounds like your brother has some post traumatic stress disorder. It is not uncommon. I hope that he can get though it. Does he talk to anybody like a counselor or anything? It would probably help him a lot. Plus with the grief of losing his friend. It is probably effecting you too. I am sorry for your loss.

How is your mom doing? How are you holding up? Let us know, we want to be there for you.

Hugs, Karen
