Hello all my friends. I cannot tell you how comforting it is to be able to post this on a forum that I believe genuinely cares. But his is the place.
IN about 3 hours I will be entering the hospital with my mother for her to begin treatment for cancer. She has chosen me to be her support person.
The way they handle cancer treatment now is that there is a person designated to be the support. I am able to be with mom for ever step of her treatment. I can be int eh surgery if I choose to etc. The Doctors are able to give me her medical information, lab reports etc. I am also the primary person in charge of helping her stay in a positive frame of mind and help her basically make other choices that keep her as healthy as possible.

Lucky for me my mother is very healthy otherwise, has an extremely strong personality and many many years of knowing how to take care of herself both physically and mentally. So far she is doing very well.

The issue for today is that she has a deep seeded terror of Hospitals. I completely expect her to have at least a moment of "Flipping out" as we arrive. Please say a prayer of comfort for my mother as these memories begin to be sparked and for me that I am in tune with her enough to help her through it.

Up until now the concern has been about moms mental and emotional well being. Today we begin the battle for the physical with Surgery. From there we will continue to attack the cancer with other forms of treatment that have not been chosen yet. prayers for wisdom guidance and skill for the surgeons would also be appreciated in regard to this physical battle with the disease.

For the most part Mom is doing very well. Much better than most would expect of a person with cancer to be doing.

I will not be near a computer for a while to read all your replies to this request. But I have no doubt they will be here. thank you all.

Daniel, You and your Mom are in my prayers. I am wishing you both the best. Take care .
 
Daniel, My thoughts and prayers with you and your Mom. Danny, you have to remember that you have to be stronger and not react to the fact when they reveal upon both of you as may hard as they may sound, so you can help her not to panic. Treat this just like any other situations that you may face with. If you are encountered with news that may not sound logical at the time just step back and think before you react. They say the state of mind of the person dealing with cancer is very important in a positive outcome. I am sure you can do it and I have heard many stories of people who have battled and won the battle with cancer. May God give you and your Mom the strenght and the wisdom to you to help her through this situation.
 
Daniel, Allow His strength hold you and your mother through is difficult time. My his spirit comfort you and your mother in her time of need.
 
Lord Jesus, Who went about doing good and healing all, we ask You to bless Your friends who are sick. Give them the strength in body, courage in spirit, and patience in pain. Let them recover their health, so that, restored to the Christian community, they may joyfully praise Your Name, for You live and reign forever and ever. Amen.
 
Daniel ... You sound strong and will therefore be extremely helpful to your mother during this time of difficulty.

Tell your mother to have faith in our Lord God and in the surgeons and to left the Good Lord guide them in their tasks at hand.

My prayers are with you, your mother, and the rest of your family and friends. May God's blessings be with you all.
 
Daniel, You and your Mother are in my prayers and God will take care . Please keep us posted , when you have time. So many of my friends and relatives have gone through this very difficult cancer treatment. The doctors and hospital will do their best, but really it is all in the hands of our Savior , Jesus Christ . May God Bless.

I'm very sorry to hear about the cancer. I am praying for you and your Mom. I think that you being there with her will be more help to her than you know. You're a good son. I will pray for peace and healing for your Mom, as well as strength for you.
 
Daniel,
i understand your situation, in a couple of ways, first off i lot both My Parents this year just over 2 months apart, and I am fighting metastatic kidney cancer( spread to left lung and bones) I have you and your family and all the caregivers in my prayers
Tell you Mom to keep fighting.

Daniel. I'm hoping for the best for you and your mother, You are pretty much a rock any way so it will be easier for her with your strength. God Bless you both.
 
By the way, I also passed your prayer request along to some of my family members. My father-in-law says that they are praying for you as well, and I'm sure they will share your request with their church family also. You've got alot of support and prayers, not only here on the forum.
 
Yes we will

Daniel I am sure a great number will be praying for you and your mom as a result of your posting. Sounds like she has made an excellent choice in her support person. I am firmly convinced (based upon personal observation of many family and close friends with cancer) that the greatest portion of the battle is not physical - but mental. Do all you can to keep her encouraged and active. May God bless her with a full and quick recovery.
 
Daniel, you're both in our prayers. Keep a positive and upbeat attitude thru the whole process, even when it seems impossible. It's 'good medicine' for the sole - speaking from past family history.

Hi Daniel!

Please know that our prayers are being added to everyone else's for your Mother. I wish both her and you well!

Scott.
 
You got our thoughts. Diane had a double mastectomy so we both know what you and her are going through, you and I are/were the support. She needs all your support you can give. Todays modern medicine is just wonderful, so keep positive.....
 
Our prayers are with you and yours Daniel.

My mother is finishing up her Chemo that reduced a softball size tumor in her left lung to a 2 inch size. We are very grateful for the prayers we recieved here and the help the doctors and care givers gave my mother. It will have to be watched but she is better and with Gods help so will your mother.
Hang in there buddy....
