Wow that is interesting. Thank you so much for that info, much appreciated, and everyone else for your kind words.
I think spirit/mindset plays a major part. Probably in everything. I lost my dad to cancer when i was just 7, (he was 40). They said he had 8 weeks. But he never knew what he had, he thought he had some kidney probs but had no idea it was cancer. With me a little girl, mum bravely kept it from him (at great personal torture to herself),she didnt want him to think he might never see me again every time we said goodbye at the hospital. They said 8 weeks. He lived 6 months. With no chemo or radiotherapy, nothing in those days.
Perhaps because he didnt know?
They wouldnt do that these days with patients charter but it tortures me that she did that for him and now has to go through this herself.
Thanks again for the nutrition info, am looking into it and have ordered a nutribullet last night ready for juicing. (There was a good thread on here about it)
In these dark times i cant tell you how much it means to have the support of you guys.
Thank you again xx
Hi Blossom,
I'm so sorry to hear your news. I lost my dad to lung cancer, he was given 6 months and I believe his spirit was the reason he lived two years from diagnosis to his passing.
I am studying nutrition at the moment and when I seen your post I knew I needed to comment. One of the girls on my course has a friend who was diagnosed with terminal cancer of the pancreas, two years ago. He was given 6 months max to live. He had nothing to lose so he embarked on a juicing plan, meditation, yoga and nutrition for optimum health. 2 years later my friend said he's never looked better, full of energy etc. cancer wise, who is to say what will happen but he believes his lifestyle change is the reason he is still here, and I can see why. He's enjoying a full and happy life.
My mum was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, it was caught early and she has finished treatment and I'm now trying to advise her on wee lifestyle changes but she isn't really interested, which is fair enough! I can see where she is coming from. But from my point of view, surely feeding your body with nothing but nutritious, wholesome food has god to have a positive impact on your physical and mental health. It has to! I'm reading books on it at the moment and it really is fascinating stuff.
I just wanted to share this wee story of hope with you, sending you hugs xx
Positive thoughts to you Blossom, and your family.
My mum is going in for surgery next week after three "inconclusive" biopsies to see if she has the cancer that killed her brother.
We're all a mess.
Make sure you look after yourself in this difficult time.
:hug:
Thanks so much for the support, it means such a lot at this sad time.
Mum is coming home this week sometime and i'm going to sleep at hers as she will feel more secure. (My stepdad will b there but he has dementia so i can understand how she feels and i want to be there for her).
I am thinking i will try and do just 2/3 appointments a day at my house in between caring for plus carers are going in as well.
The bit that scares me most, apart from the obvious, and i feel stupid saying it, is that i will be in charge of her medication as some of it will be quite heavy as time goes on. But my stepdad certainly cant be in control of it so i have to. Why am i so scared? Xx
