well today is my 2yr. surgiversary!! yeahhhhhhh!!
it has been a long two years. but yet it has gone by pretty fast. if that makes sense??????
as some of you all know, my mom is dying of esophageous cancer that has spread through her body. we found out at the end of march. she has been in the veteran's hospital since the day after mothers day. it has been very sad and stressful. she is towards the end now. and i have reverted back to some of my old ways with stress eating. i have gained 30lbs. and i am very depressed about it. i feel i have let myself and others down. i am so worn out. i can't sleep, i work every other day, 24hrs. and the day i am off i spend it at the hospital with my mom. i have never been through anything like this with a close family member. life is definitely not easy sometimes as most of you know!!
i would like you all to know i have not forgotten you. and i miss you all very much. i think about you a lot. please keep my mom in your prayers. luv you all.

hi to my great OH family. i just wanted to let everyone who cares to know how my mom is doing. AWFUL!!!!
i won't go into all the stuff she has been through. but to make a long story short, we found out today that her cancer has spread out through her body. right now it has spread into her lymph glands in her small bowel. so the dr. said it is probably in other places too. it has been a whirlwind of a day.i came home, upset. went into my kitchen, cleaned the bottom of my frig. and my cabinet doors. then i got on my treadmill, and my exercise bike. now i feel like i am gonna fall over in my tracks. i am going to bed. luv u all

well my mom did not tell me everything yesterday. the cancer has spread into her lymph nodes. and the tumor has spread out towards her shoulder blade. so things do not look good. and i am at my lowest point with this. sorry for the negativity.

well to continue about my mom. we found out today that the mass is too big to operate. so they are gonna try to get it with radiation and chemo. they are suppose to put a port in her on april 16. and they said they would probably have to put a tube in her stomach because with radiation she would not be able to eat. her throat is gonna swell real bad. God it just breaks my heart to think about it. please, if anybody reads this?please pray for my mom.

hello to my OH family, whom i think about everyday. my family found out tuesday, 03/25/08 that my mom, who is 65yrs. old has espohageous cancer. it is malignant. and we will not find out until mon. or tues. of next week if it is operatable. my research has found that it is still not widely known in the u.s. and it is mostly found in men. there are two different kinds. one is from gerd (heartburn, etc...) and the other is from smoking and drinking, which my mom done both for years. up until about 8yrs. ago. if it is only in the esophgeous then chances are they can operate. and it said the % rate of living is 25%. i just collapsed when i read that is the highest % rate. that is not not very high, which is pretty depressing. i know i am not the only one who has gone through or is going through this. but i am not ready to lose my mom. of course nobody ever is. my mom had had two heart attacks and had to have her leg amputated due to severe hardening of the arteries. and now she is fighting for her life again!!!
could you all please pray for my mom. i love u all.
