But I just found out that my Mom has a tumor, and I'm feeling a little lost. I said I wouldn't think about it, but I just broke a dish and burned my hand pulling dinner out of the oven, so I'm obviously thinking about it.

I didn't want to bring it up to anyone, but I'm upset and you guys are always so supportive, so here I am.

That's all.

River: It's a popular theory.

NOT thinking about it doesn't help - just don't dwell. Find out all the info you can, so you feel informed.

Hug your mom and have hope

There are plenty of hugs here for you!

It is Browncoat related so don't fret. I just wish there was more we could do for folks in need.
Guess I'll shut up because you may need to vent rather than listen. That our job.

Aww sweetie, I'm really sorry to hear that. I'm not going to tell you that I know how you feel because I don't. But I might have some sort of an idea. My mom had breast cancer a while back, and it's hard. But just know that all of us are here for ya. And if you ever need anything (like an ear to listen or cookies or something) my AIM is the same as my username on here. Don't hesitate! I make some pretty sweet ass chocolate chip cookies. :-)

Quiet,

You are a member of this family.. we're here for you to share troubles with. That's what families do.

Please know that you're in our thoughts and prayers and that we're here for you anytime you want to talk or you just want a hug.

FMF is right. When my Dad had his stroke it helped me to cope with what was happening when I was fully informed about what he was going thru.
Stay close to your Mom and give her lots of hugs and look for ways to move forward to help her get better.

And rely on us any time you need us. We'll be here. This ship is your home.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

QuietSerenity,

I know exactly how you feel.

You see, my wife has breast cancer. We have been battling it for years. We have been through the surgeries, the treatments, the waiting, the praying, all of it. We don't let it ruin our lives or control us though.

My wife still leads a very full life and she is a survivor. When she was diagnosed we educated ourselves on her condition, what we could expect, the treatments, options, and what we could do to help alleviate the condition. We decided to take control, not let it control us.

This is what you and your mother need to do. Control the situation, don't let it control you. Educate yourself and meet it head on. Trying to not think about it will only wind up causing more problems down the road.

We're all here for you. You have the prayers and well wishes of us all.

Keep flyin'!

QUIETSERENITY

Thank you so much for all of your kind words and support. They helped more than I can say.

I took your advice and did some research, and Mom wants me to go with her to her next doctor's appointment. I was too upset to say yesterday, but I'm really very upset about how she found out..

She had called the Doctor's office for some follow-up, and the nurse said:

"Oh, you just had a baby!"
"No..."
"Oh, you're pregnant!"
"No...did you even look at my chart? Go get it and read it to me."
"Okay, everything here looks good, oh, your tumor is 6-7 centimeters, so you'll just have to call back and see what the doctor wants you to do."

At which point, my mom is sitting there at work going "Tumor? What tumor?" All the nurse said was "Sorry," and then hung up.

Thankfully my mom, sister and I all live here in the same town, so we see each other often. I'll keep you updated, and thank you again, so much.

Be positive. A positive approach to any sickness enhances the immune system, and increases the liklyhood of a desired outcome.
Try to keep laughter in you family, especially now.

For what it's worth, my thoughts are with ya.

Hi Quiet Serenity

I have had a very difficult day and wasn't even going to make it on to the computer at all... (it's 1.20am here) but despite my common sense telling me to get to bed I knew I had to touch base with my Browncoat family - I always feel better after spending a bit of time here - and here you are needing us as much as we need you!

Everything that's been said goes doubly for me - be strong! Take time to adjust! Inform yourself!
And as was said...sometimes - You just HOLD! I am so glad your Mum and sister live close by.

I am sending my love and hugs {{QS}} from Australia & keeping you all in my prayers!

I hope you know to come here, on the boat, anytime you need your Shiney Family! We love you for who you are and what you bring here too!

Love and strength - Magdalena x x x
