Mom has lung cancer

i lost an aunt in oct 2001 to lung cancer.i lost my grandpa to cancer in aug 22nd 1986,i lost my 2nd grandpa at the end of may 1996.i lost my another aunt in 1984,then i lost another aunt in late 1987 all to cancer.then i lost my first grandma on april 19th 2002 to cancer,then i lost my 2nd grandma to cancer 2yrs later in 2004.then in june of 2005,i find out my mom has cancer in her lung.they did ct and pet scans,the doctor tried had my mom go through several treatment procedures.then my mom was operated on,the doctor was going to try to remove the disease by burning it off the lung tissue.but my mom almost didnt make it from that operation.she did go back for more regular treatments,plus blood tests to give her more blood,and she has held on alot longer than what the doctor could ever of imagined.but lately its getting worse and worse with my mom,i dont know how much more longer she will survive,she is so thin and barely alive and its so hard for me to handle that i dont know how much more longer i can hang on while im trying to handle this

Re: Mom has lung cancer

thanx alot for your heart felt sorrows,sdaness and grief over my mom having lung cancer.she went through alot of treatments to get rid of the cancer in her lung,but the doctor in springfield,ma tried everything he could.so my mom was taking medications and oxygen and all.but now,the worst of my fears has happened,my mom died tonight at about 8pm.it was my birthday on may 15th,i thought she was going to pass away yesterday.i told her that it was my birthday today during yesterday morning,and she put her hand up in the air to signal me happy birthday,i love you.i shook my moms hand and held on to her,i told her i loved her,i kissed my mom.then my dad said tonight that with your mom knowing it was birthday yesterday that she would die on you on your birthday,can you believe she did that for me,she held on for me for my birthday,because she couldve easily of passed away yesterday.so my dad was up after 2am this morning and my mom was barely breathing,and barely moving at all.i awakened at 230am.i was thirsty,so i went downstairs and my dad was already awake this morning shortly before 3am.he was telling me in the kitchen that he didnt know how much longer your mother was going to live,and my dad was crying and everything.this is so hard to talk about and mention,so heart breaking and gut wrenching.then my dad contacted my brother,he came over at 330am this morning and stayed till 830am,then went to work.so my mother hangs on all day,then everyone shows up tonight shortly after 730pm,and during this time period is where my passes away during 745-8pm this evening.the derry funeral home came over and picked up my mom and took her down to the funeral home.i cant believe my mom is gone,i dont understand why this had to happen all of a sudden.im having such a hard time of handling this unbelievable situation concerning my mom,i dont know what to do.
