Cancer Support and Caregivers Who Are Trail Blazers!

Sometimes, it is just deciding when "enough is enough". When they have a fighting spirit & a will to live, then they will fight hard! When they are just tired & want to have quality vs quantity, then decisions have to be made.

Neither is an easy choice, and I do not relish that for either of you.

I DO know that I will be sending as much white light & positive energies as I can. Know that someone is there for you both......my friend.....gentle hugs....

The oncologist said that just like some people take medicine for high blood pressure she will need chemo to treat cancer most likely until the end of her life. After leaving the hospital my mom said that it will probably kill her.

I just don't know anymore. I don't know what it means for either of us. Just when you think it's gone it rears it's ugly head and punches you right in the gut.

Wrangler, I dont think I could of said it any better than our friend Clay. It really is about how much more of this fight she can handle. You and your Mom both must be very weary. This is hard to hear after the chemo break. Sending you love and light as you process this latest news.
