Send Good Vibes

[lesbiaphrodite]

It's a sad day. My mother received a diagnosis of leukemia and I am trying to stay positive and deal with it as best I can. This is not going to be easy, and I don't even know how to begin to handle it. The main thing is to stay positive for her and to help her in all the ways that it is possible to help. She is an incredible and strong woman who I love with all my heart. I would only ask that you send good vibes her way, prayers if you say them, and candles if you light them.

I am so sorry *hugs* That's sad news, but be hopeful. Leukemia in your mother's age group (I am presuming she's about 50-60) is a lot less fatal than for those in their twenties and thirties. A lot of old folk get a chronic form of leukemia that can go on for years. My pop has had it for twenty years and it looks like dementia is gunna get him long before it will.

Stay positive at all costs. Leukemia isn't necessarily a death sentence these days. Some people fight it for years... and win. I personally know more people who've beat it than lost to it. The two, out of maybe fifteen, who succumbed to leukemia were teenagers. Everyone else made it. As said above, the older people do seem to have an easier time fighting it. Dig in, get tough and stay positive.

Thanks you guys. Your kind words and positive thoughts really help a lot. Thank heavens this is not the aggressive, fast-moving leukemia, so we have lots of time to be together yet and make more good memories. It's just hard right now.

I am going to stay positive, positive...no matter what! She deserves that so much!

Big (grandaddly Hug, ); Good Vibes.

Since the Genome got cracked, the work on Cancers has advanced many fold.
Take heart, lady, it's not necessarily disaster.

Thanks so much for all the positivity and support, you guys. It's a tough deal, but I'm committed to keeping my Mama healthy, happy and well until the very end. And, I pray that end will not come for a long, long time. Given what I've read so far, that seems possible. She is the most beautiful woman in the world to me. She is my heart.

You and your mom are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sending positive thoughts both of your ways..

My step-father was diagnosed around a decade ago with the harder hitting type, he beat it once but then it came back a couple years later and fought it until two years ago when he just ran out of fight, I am immensely proud of the way he handled it, with nary a complaint..

Thanks to each one of you who took the time to send your support my mother's way.

This past week has been so very hard. At first, I think I was in shock, but now that I truly realize what all of this means, I am starting to feel sadder about it all. I know it will do her no good for me to be down, but I at least have to acknowledge the grief that comes with this diagnosis. Not in front of her, of course, but privately and perhaps here on this forum just to help relieve my mind.

I've been where you are now, the cause was not the same but the situation was. I feel your pain! The strength will come and she will be the stronger, but you will cope, you have no choice.

I will hold you both in my heart until you both find peace.

You can never have too many prayers on your side.
I hope adding mine to the list will help.
