My mom passed away this morning

My mom passed away at 6:50 this morning after fighting colon cancer for a year and a half. She was 57 years old. I still feel like I'm in a dream because this is so surreal, but I am comforted by knowing that she is now at peace. I want to thank this website for providing me with tremendous amounts ...

Feeling guilty

Hi guys - I have this written on my other post but I thought I might get more advice if I added this as a new post. Hospice has been called in and my mom's condition seems to have rapidly declined. We've all spent a lot of time together which has been great. No one can say for certain how long she h...

Re: End of life

Thanks for all of the replies everyone. Hospice has been called in and my mom's condition seems to have rapidly declined. We've all spent a lot of time together which has been great. No one can say for certain how long she has, but I am thinking maybe a week. This is all so hard. My brother and I ar...

End of life

We got news today that confirmed that my mom doesn't have a chance. We were riding on the hope that doctors would be able to drain her bile duct (I think?) to alleviate the jaundice she has been experiencing, but apparently they are unable to do it. When my parents got back from the hospital I sat w...

Horrible news

A few hours ago we received news that my mom doesn't really have any options left. Apparently her liver is the problem. Her eyes show clear signs of jaundice and her urine is very dark. I guess it's shutting down? I don't know many details... A few weeks ago she underwent shoulder replacement surger...

Constant crying. House is miserable and I can't take it

Hello. I posted something on here yesterday but I'm looking for more feedback. I'm 19 and my mom was diagnosed with advance colon cancer in August 2012. Things were "okay" in terms of treatment and everything until after Thanksgiving when she developed bone mets and underwent surgery that ...

Need advice

My 57 year old mom was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2012. There is liver involvement as well. After Thanksgiving of this year she developed bone metastasis and underwent surgery where they completely removed her upper humerus and replaced it. Since the surgery everything seems to be going downhill...

Mom won't stop crying

My 57 year old mom was diagnosed with colon cancer in August 2012. I don't know many details but I think there is liver involvement. Just a couple of weeks ago we found out it spread to her shoulder too. Her upper humerus ended up fracturing so she went to get it surgically fixed about 10 days ago. ...

I'm currently at college about a half hour away. My parents aren't really open with me about everything. They aren't even open to themse...

Update on my mom

HI everyone. Yesterday my mom completed treatment #7 of scheduled 12.

She didn't receive oxaliplatin treatments #3,4, or 5 because her blood counts were low...

Mr. T

I saw your inbox message but I'm not allowed to message you privately (or so I think) because I don't post much here. I would like to talk to you because I you said our situations are similar.

I can't deal with this

I'm an 18 year old guy. I literally feel like crap every day and I hate it. My school is huge and I feel like i'm at th...
