Hi Sweetie, Your Mom is in a great amount of discomfort right now, I'm really sorry about that. The only thing you can do is be there and try to make her as comfortable as possible. Don't be surprised when she hallucinates thats part of being sick and heavily medicated. This Sweetie is one of your BIG tests in life. Maybe you can't see it right now but we are so connected to life through our Mothers. Be the BEST daughter you can be for her right now. Trust me on this Sweetie it will make all the difference on your life in the future. There is a lovely old Southern saying (I wish I knew it better) about the circle of life and how our mothers are there to welcome us into the world, and how we (if we're lucky) can be there to comfort them as they leave. An unbreakable bond between mother and daughter sending love and heartfelt prayers for you and your family ------------------ Courage is fear that's said its prayers Michael Cole IP: Logged |

Thank you so much lala pix fayte divinia aphrodite,your messages brought tears to my eyes.Its been hard especially being only 20,to talk with people about whats going on with all this.Most of my friends are between 20-25,and their parents are very strong,so they dont understand how stressful it is trying to make it to work,taking care of Paisley and I,and trying to comfort my mother.She wants me to cry with her to show her that I care,but I tell her that I cant be down all the time,I have to remain positive and strong to give you my strength.She went for more bloodwork today,and will get the results back in a few days to see if the cancer has come back.Thank you all for being there for me,It really means the world to me that people care. I will let you know what comes back on the tests.Peace Love and Light us all , ElizaIP: Logged |

Eliza ~Bless you and your mom and sister -- sending warm thoughts for all of you..... Please remember to take good care of YOU as you're taking care of someone who is ill, you must nurture yourself so you can be the rock you want to be for your little sister and your Mom. Your strength and courage is such a wonderful example to all who touch you!! When I was going thru my father's bout with cancer, I found solace in a book called "The Other Side and Back" by Sylvia Browne. {{ love & hugs }} Zala IP: Logged |

Thank you all for your love,prayers,and support.I am happy to say my mom is home recovering,getting strong again.She got home about 2 weeks ago and has been getting stronger ever since.She has quit smoking cigarettes for good,quit soda,she is only allowed Aquafina water and some fruit juices.Her skin looks more hydrated than it has in years.She is using a aloe vera soap for her skin has suffered from the radiation.She is starting to eat healthy vegetables like kale and spinach,and for some reason the chemo changes the way you taste things for about 6 months,and she says vegetables and chicken taste better than sweets.So she hasnt been eating the sweets either.Its so unbelievable though,I look back at when I started this post,we really did go through some bad times.But everything is looking good.You are all so sweet and I know your positive vibes helped me through this,and in turn,helped me be strong for my mom.Thank you all so much,and I will keep you posted on the goings on.PeaceLoveandLight to us all , Eliza Libra/Scorpio/Aquarius p.s. My mom also wants to thank you all,for your genuine kindness and love.Here are a few pics : this is her rock climbing a few years back before it all heres after we gave her the mohawk cause a the chemo: heres a newer one of mom and i:

(thanks for bumping this) Eliza! Your mom and yourself are absolutely gorgeous!My hubby was right here as I opened this thread, and he said Wow, you can really tell they're sisters! I said, no, that's her MOM!!! So you can tell her a hot and impartial 32 year old thinks you're both lovely (and sisters)!!! As well as his wife. I wish you both ( and your family) lots of love and light for continued positive spirits and healing. I think about your story. IP: Logged |

Eliza, you have changed! You look spiritually stronger now and more calm and confident than before. I am impressed!I agree with others here, your Mom looks full of life. The increeased alkaline diet and lots of encouragement will help in quick recovery. And so will your healing prowess. Maybe you should suggest to her some simple healing exercises too. IP: Logged |

wow.. I just read this string for the first time and in tears for the first part, fearing the worst.. but then she got better and I was so happy to read that. It's wonderful that your mom is healing, Eliza. I'm going to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers for continued healing. It's great that your mom is eating the veggies and cutting out the sugar. The longer one stays off the sugar treadmill the easier it is to avoid the stuff and the more wonderful everything else tastes. Bright Blessings! p.s. You do look like sisters! Beautiful sisters!
