Just had a bad argument with my mother. :/ Me and her both have "issues" that require medication, LOL... we're a bit crazy at times. So, we can really get into it!
I hate it though. All the screaming, name calling, crying... :( Then, during this argument my mother started talking about how she doesn't want to argue with me... she said she may not be here for much longer... we cried together. I asked her what she meant. She said she thinks she may have cancer. :( She's going to the doctors and everything to be tested and all that. I really hope she doesn't have it. We are very, very close.
I just got back from the store, bought a pack of cigarettes. I had quit for a while, because of my asthma and it's not healthy... but all of this today just made me need something to calm my nerves.
I hope things get better. My life isn't that great right now. :'( I don't know what I will do without her. I haven't even moved out yet.

Hi Angelee,
Bickering between mothers and daughters is something I like to listen to their words lol.
Just without pretest and other examination how come your mom concluded that she might not be very long with them. Signal of negation. If she is suspecting take her to the competent doctor and get all tests done. Even if it is, if detected and treated in the early stage it is curable.
Hope nothing o that sort has caught your mom.

Thank you. :-)
She has appointments schedule and they are testing her to see if she has it.
I really hope she doesn't and that it is just something else minor going on. Hopefully, if she does have cancer, they can get rid of it. :/

Sorry Angelee for the bad feelings you are having. There are times when as youths arguments occur with parents. Just calm down a bit, hope and pray that her testing goes okay.
If by chance she does get diagnosed with cancer, she will need all the emotional support she can get. If it is not cancer, do think about how the moment went while both of you believed she had cancer and utilize the feeling to come up with some form of better communication for the both of you.
Life is truly short and we have to relish all given moments to the fullest. I hope the results are favorable.

Thanks hardworkinggurl,
Of course if she does have it, I will be there for her. I am hoping it is just something else more minor going on... I do not want anything bad happening to her. :'(
We know we love each other very much, and are very close.
If she does have it, maybe they will be able to treat it and save her. :( I really hope so.

Yes, it can be a scary thing when something like this happens and it can make you want to resort to things you may not want to do otherwise. But just try to be there for your Mom and supportive of her, and help and encourage her thru this time. Anytime there are Health issues like this it can be a scary trying time but by being there supporting her and wanting to find out more from the Doctors can help calm everyone's nerves more for sure.

I am so sorry to hear about your mother. I know that it is hard when a family member is sick. I have had several members of my family that have had cancer. It is nasty but some of them have beat it. So hold your head up high. I really hope that her tests come back negative and that things get better for you and your family.

The best thing to do right now is cherish every moment you have with her. There's nothing like family, I'm sure you know that. Hold your mother like you've never done before.

Lately the people connected to me have been getting cancer. Is it me bringing the bad luck? Well i don't think so, it's just a matter of coincidence. And don't worry we are not that connected to each other so my bad luck won't rub on you.
I do pray that your mother might not have any serious illness. Let's think positive about this and be happy. The more we worry about things the more we get into trouble. I have read in one christian book than when people worry, it means we are anticipating the bad things and in fact welcoming it. Thus they come. So, if you won't want bad things to happen, it's time to let go of your worries and trust the Creator.
Have a blessed day Angelee.

That is such a tough thing to have to face. I feel for you because our parents are so important. It can be really hard when we lose them. I am praying with you that the tests will come back clear and it will just be a scare. And she will go on to be healthy!

That's what we call a family. We can't avoid being angry or upset at times. But at the end of the day, we still love each other, even if we fight so often, we know deep within our heart we love our family. You're a great daughter. Just make it up to her. And be there for her. I know she loves you too. Enjoy your life with your mom, you're lucky enough to be still around her, I live miles apart from my mom, and I just can't see her every now and then, it takes months or years before I get a chance to see her again. Busy with career, financial constraints, time, etc. You're blessed. Live a fulfilled life with your mom. Wish you the best. I pray that your mom wouldn't get any serious thing after the check up.

This is the sadness of reading stories like yours. I'm not a doctor, but I have always believed in alternative medicines. Cancers may be caused by body toxins, one of the results of unregulated food intake.
I'm not promoting this product, but vast experiences of the people whom I know make this product interesting...I'm talking about "Red Juice", you may search the web about it. Hope this helps!

We only borrowed our Physical Life to our Almighty . If you can accept this fact or the reality then you can move on in life without your mother. We should always think that GOD's Blessing is the best medicine for our mom sickness. Lay down your problem to HIM so that you can be relieve in problems .Always pray and ask blessings.
