Posted by OSURD We all thought things were going so well. Surgery went great, and they gave my mom more chemo afterwards just to be sure. She did a test on tuesday, and we went in on wednesday to see one of her doctors. She was asked how she was feeling, and she said great. But then, bad news. She still has lung cancer, and now in her liver. Dr Douville was honest, in that this isn't good at all. She saw her oncologist on friday. They are going to do more chemo and drugs, but it's only to stay alive for a while. Dr Soo didn't tell mom this, but he told my sister and my mom's best friend; with the chemo and drugs she has less then 9 months. If she doesn't do them, who knows how long? I'm not doing well with this at all. Numbing myself from all emotions through my own behaviors which isn't good. I was doing so well. I just got done at my own program, and wasn't doing great, but I wasn't loosing weight which is amazing and I am happy about that. But in the past few days, everything has just gone downhill quickly. How have other people handled the whole 'you have this long to live' stuff? I'm honestly freaking out, but I know I'm not freaking out as much as I would if I wasn't numbing myself through my own disease.
