I've been absent for a while but just want to send all of you my prayers and thoughts.
To everyone.

Sometimes, even when we know better, it's difficult to visit an ailing loved one. We feel so helpless and often angry without knowing te best way to express our love and concern.
It is extremely difficult to know what to say, there's nothing many times. It feels so foreign, so strange and surreal and painful all at once. It really is hard to know how to support people sometimes. Talking about everyday life seems somehow disrespectful.
Yes, it's easy to get the idea that you need to say really helpful and profound things.
Those times I had to stay in the hospital for longer times, I was happy to have visitors who would just do the kind of everyday small talk that might normally bore me. My mother in law and I are not very close normally, but she came nearly every day for short visits, did her special kind of mostly selfsustaining chitchat and took me outside in a wheel chair sometimes so I could get some fresh air.
It doesn't require much participation from your side if you're too tired and it does keep you informed about what's going on in the outside world.
It can actually be helpful to be two visitors, if the person you are visiting is very tired. It can be nice to just listen to loved ones or friends talking to each other.

Thank you Elle.
Look after yourself. And amen to FYC!
Mum has been in hospital for two weeks now. She has been told she has reached the lowest point and should slowly recover from now on. Fortunately she has not reacted too badly to the treatment. She still has her hair even though she has been told that she _will_lose it. And she is still fairly chatty
So now praying for a smooth and speedy recovery.
I haven't posted much - I just haven't been feeling real communicative for awhile.
I do lurk, though.
And you people just continue to fucking amaze me. Your courage, strength, resolve and support in the face of horror.
I've wished lately for a health bar refresh for each of you, no matter if you're suffering from cancer physically, emotionally or in some other way that ends in -lly. Whether it's in your own body or in that of someone you hold dear.
Have not updated much in recent weeks because the bone pain from the chemotherapy and follow-up shots of Neulasta (White Count Enhancer) has kept me curled up in the fetal position a great deal lately. Lost my hair but kept my eyebrows...lol...and I am not quite halfway through my full chemo regimen.
FYC.
Thank you for all the kind comments re: mum. All much appreciated.
Amazing news! The doctors decided she was doing so well they discharged her from hospital yesterday! Didn't see that coming
So she is now home resting. She will need to go back on a weekly basis for a few weeks for tests and then can go to the local hospital for further check ups.
Yey
My brother hasn't coped at all well with mum being ill and I am due to skype with him tomorrow.
Have my 6 month checkup at the end of December. Starting to get nervous, even though I am in remission. Still dealing with the lung issues
So happy your Mum is doing so much better...praying for your brother...
Thank you x.
Mum is doing really well. The London hospital think she is doing so well they have said she can do the rest of her blood tests at the local hospital. Yey!
And prayers much appreciated

cmslt2326;72925564I still read this thread regularly and I am always blown away by the strength and resilience I see here. Praying for Cascadia's Mom and LucyBee's Mum on a regular basis. So hard to watch your Mother who has done for you her whole life as she suffers through this disease.

Mom keeps thinking she has seen the worst her chemo will give her....then the next week it is something else. This 3 year treadmill is beyond onerous. I admire her optimistic outlook. As a healthcare provider, I am often less optimistic than she is about what will be next. (Not that I share such predictions with her, of course.) It is not a comfort that I am usually right.

Another bit of my "framily" announced the big C today. Grateful it's colorectal with no mets, but still.
