like if they had just diagnosed the first week or two

Understandable

but they waited like 5 weeks goddamnit

how did it take this long to figure it out anyway????

lol, my dad lost his mind and started taking her to basically witch doctors

i don't remember

i was in hardcore denial

was she basically dying?

yes

or was she still capable?

How old are you @Emperor of Atlantis

I'm 25 last month 😦

i mean she walked around and was at home and stuff

but in and out of clinics

and hospitals

last time she went, i didn't think much of it, because it had become normal

and then she died there, and i wasn;t around

so don't be like me

but do I really want to see someone die?

That's really hardcore

the thought really scares me

it's about her as much as you

It's your mom

you'll regret not being there at the end

to say goodbye

regardless of how intense it is

okay I guess

I dunno, I don't want to give up though

this is all assuming the worse tho

you're right, don't give up

she doesn't seem like she is dying at all

what I do think is that these doctors are inept

but prepare yourself, and be with her,

and I need to get her to better doctors while I still have time

I know that at best they can prolong her life, she is 61 after all

You have any siblings? @Emperor of Atlantis

but it is better than doing nothing?

yeah I have a brother

You two should be there for your mom

what does your extended family say?

And for each other

I don't have much of a family

my cousin who is a doctor, she said that she would look into it

well now's the time to hit up all family and friends and ask for help

and said that there are probably treatment options

even if you're not close to them

I think that what she needs is to regain some of her strength

yeah they called, said they would send money and stuff like that

Yeah that's the main part

what was she diagnosed with?

a stomach tumor

which is also causing her lumps in the ovaries

but the ovarian lumps don't seem to be too big right now

which imo, the tumors are very recent

maybe happened this year

If you can deal with the big one then maybe those others clear up

Cancer does this weird spreading shit

Yeah metastasis

Her survival rates are decent. I just looked them up. Your mother will probably be fine.

yeah, what do you have to do? ask the doctors everyday if they can perform surgery yet, or what?

Your mom is probably going to come out fine, my guy. Don't worry. Worrying will probably upset and stress your mom out.

Not sure if you are religious but I'll be praying for you my friend faith in times like this is essential. Don't lose hope

Same

Hope your mom turns out okay

Also sorry to hear about your mom stretch

Why is everyone's moms dying 😭

🤷🏼

thnx

we are zoomers coming of age or older. Our parents are growing older. 😢

based and testing the faith pilled

I'm not religious but I prayed with her

<:begone:564325982295687168>

What caused the cancer?

first time I done it in years

>tfw want to fix ur typo but papa already retweeted you

my guess is a stomach ulcer

<:vox_day:556976341384167447>

@Colonel J (The Sheriff) OCD moment

and yes they said it was metasticizing because it caused lumps on her ovaries

but the specialist in the specific clinic said they were not cancerous

so I don't get it

Damn it. Being an adult and a zoomer sucks

and said there is no point in operating on the ovaries because it isn't causing anything

I have to accept it but I'm a lazy fuck who wants to work as much as a greek

that sounds positive

I'll get acclimated to it

but the stomach needs to be taken care of

@Emperor of Atlantismeans they are benign

ovaries?

cancer?

but the other doctor doesn't want to do any surgery on the stomach because she said she was off food too long

and she is too weak for surgery

well how long does she have to be on food

so my guess is to fill her up with nutrients until she is stronger

@21ooAB one of our guys has a diseased mother

she is still eating things like pudding and stuff

and the swelling went down on some of her stomach

Oh. That's abd

Can't they put nutrients into her bloodstream directly or something
