Sad Note In A Bottle
 

Sorry to let you know that the latest news to reach the Ark is not good. A very special Pixie friend asked me to let you know what has been occupying her time and mind lately.

Her Mum lives half way across the Continent Nation and has started chemotherapy for a second time. Some years back she went through the treatment with positive results but it was detected being back a couple months ago. She has lost 40 pounds within the past month from not being able to hold anything down. Her Dad of course is as shaken and concerned as she and is in constant contact but lonely and helpless as are we all.

I was given permission to start this thread if I promised to run my spellchecker at least 3 time before posting because I too recently understand concern about a Mom and being at a loss for thoughts, let alone words to inform friends what is happening.

I'm sure Sharniqua will let us know the developments as she and her family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Im sorry to hear this, Im going through something similar with My Granny right now, along with her hip being replaced, so I have a feeling on how things are going, My best wish's to you and your mom

Very sorry to hear
My Deepest Hopes, sympathies, and best wishes to her and her family

I know it is hard
A very good friend of mine is constantly battling a similar fight, and she is as young as I. IT is a terrible Disease.
Three years ago my Dad passed away. Prostate, and complications...

Hoping for a speedy recovery

:grope: Sharni

A bastard of a reason for visiting home.

In my prayers, (all of you).

I'd like to thank my mate PF for putting into words which i could not at the time *hugz*

And to you all for your kind thoughtful words *hugz*

Mum is still not well, but improved a tiny bit since her first treatment. She is still losing weight :( from not being able to eat properly. She has 2 more treatments to go before we will know if they were able to get it or if another way my have to be tried (ie surgery)

Fingers crossed they can get it without having to go further, but i will add i am very worried this time around!

Thanx again for all your words of support!

Thanks you for the update, even it isn't the news we all want to hear. She WILL be in our thoughts. :x:

((hugs)) it's times like this that the closeness we feel thanks to technology is just not close enough. Wish I were able to give you real ones ((hugs))

Hugs!!!!! One day at a time!!!!

Ah, I was hoping there would be an update.

Sucks that it's that kind of updatre, though.

Not the best of news to be sure, but whatever the future may bring, you have cyber (((hugs))) & positive thoughts coming your way from here...

Day by day, Sharni.

The instructor of my BIL (a navy type), went to the annual lecture Winston Churchill gave to the best and brightest military minds of the Commonwealth.

He walked in and stood at the lectern.

He locked eyes with the audience and said,

"Never, never, never, never,never, never, never,never, never, never,never, never, never,never, never, never,never, never, never,never, never, never,never, never, never,never, never, never,never, never, never ever give up."

And walked out.

((((Sharni)))) You're still getting positive thoughts coming to you from me too dear.

A short update.

I've spoken to Mum quite a bit over the last few days. She REALLY is not well. She still cannot eat and is regularly vomiting. She hasnt got the energy to walk and has the shakes from feeling so weak. I told her to get her ass back to the doctor to get some help, how can anyone fight cancer when you are feeling so low. Mum is going to try to get in today to see her specialist. I told her i'd ring tonight to see how she went.

It really doesn't look good :( I'm beyond the worried stage now. Damn i wish i lived closer!!

(((hugs))) i wish i could offer more.

:console:

There may be oceans and continents that separate us, but hope you know that love and hugs and every positive thought I have are being sent your way. I don't think there's anyone who means what "mom" does to any of us, she's irreplaceable, so whatever comfort or aid I can offer, count me in! (((((((Sharni)))))))). Fzzy

More (((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))).

((((Sharni))))

Wish I had some words of wisdom or some comforting phrase that would ease your heart a little.....

All I can say is that you, your Mum and family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sharni- get her some weed. Until she can get a Dr to perscribe her something the weed will help her eat.

YES!! Ditto what Lilith said!

Yep the classic munchies. Very much illegal here, and i doubt my Mum would even touch it.

It's illegal here too but I know how hard it is to watch someone go through it.

(((((((Sharni))))))))

The problem is Lil....Mum gets hungry, but its the vomiting, it just wont stop. She vomits wether she's eaten or not, though especially after. So the weed will just make her more hungry :(
