nightlight Posted July 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 so, after my update on the 2nd. everything went to hell. i've debated for the past two weeks or so whether or not to post anything on here, but some of you are part of my major support systems, and i think it'd be remiss if i just disappeared. i found out on july 3rd that my mom has breast cancer. i was a wreck, completely, until last weekend. i'm now only about 75% wreck. we don't have all of the details but we do know that the tumor wasn't on her sonogram from last year, so we are hoping we caught things early. regardless, i'm falling apart. i haven't eaten badly and i have been working out as much as i can, but i still gained 10lbs since i left texas. the consensus is that it's stress. so that's why i haven't been around. life is just a little hard to deal with right now. mom goes to see the MD/Surgeon/Surgeon 2, tomorrow, so i think i'll know more then. i was going to go to the appointments with her, but step dad and her best friend (who is a 2x breast cancer survivor) are going. aaaannd no one needs me to be there crying all over the place. so... that's what's been going on, nerds.

joedog Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Hi Nightlight. I just wanted to send some positive energy your way. I remember what it was like when I found out my Dad had cancer. It's a scary time but have faith in the doctors. There are many avenues for treatment. joedog, level 15 Monk Current Challenge Link to post

About 5-6 weeks ago my Mom was also diagnosed. Needless to say, I can understand what you're going through. I was super depressed for a few weeks. I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through it too. We're all still here for you and you know where to find me if you want someone to talk about it with. lobro's a druid? twitter | fb Link to post
