Melancholy

Melancholy
I'm trying to fight the mood, but I'm having a hard time with it. I don't know if I should be just putting this "out there" or what. I'm not trying to be an alarmist or anything but my Mom has some not so good things going on with her healthwise. It seems like it matches quite well with inflammatory breast cancer. I am just sick.
We lost my Dad 3.5 years ago. He was 66, died of a heart attack. Now my Mom is 66 and I just don't feel like I'm ready to let her go. We do not have a diagnosis, yet. I'm hoping for the best but reality being what it is...well, I just don't want to go there.
Hopefully we will find out more next week, but we keep thinking this week in and week out. I'm really frustrated by that too. I wish she would go to a specialist instead of a "general" surgeon.
I love my Mom to pieces and I just am really hoping for the best!

There is something about our parent's mortality that is very sobering. My dad, who has been healthy as a horse his whole life, was just diagnosed with the big "C." Many prayers to your mom that she will see this through!

I hope it turns out to be something much less serious, and that she gets real answers soon. Hugs to you!

How scary about your mom. I think the unknown is worse than anything. Hopefully it will be something treatable.

We will say some extra prayers for your mom. Even if it is minor, a few extra prayers never hurt. :)

I hope you and your family have a very special Easter!
