My mom has now been through breast cancer 4 times in the past 10 years. she finished her 4th treatment about a month ago. she went to the doctor today for a checkup cat scan and they found more cancer and she has to go for chemo now for the 5th time starting next friday. i honestly dont know how much more she can take. through all of that shes had 2 kids (my half sister-7 and my half bro-2). to anyone who reads this all i ask is to just pray for her. thank you....

Holy jebus man. Hopefully everything is alright. This is the first case I've heard of with that many encounters with the disease.

Until now I thought you got it once and you either got rid of it or worse passed on. I didn't know you could get it multiple times.

The human body is resiliant.. the human soul even more so. Keep giving her a reason to live, and should keep on going. I am going to give her one more reason.. she is in my heart and prayers.

I wish Prayers could help.
Though I do not pray, I am sure she will get the best care she possibly can.
Just have hope, and try and stay possitive. It's hard, and I know you and her will pull through.

I wish her and the family all the best.

I want to thank all of you for your prayers and those of you who dont pray, your thoughts. I cant remember but i think its after 5 years of no cancer that you are considered "cured" but it can still come back. i remember her telling me once that if it werent for my 2 siblings that she probably wouldnt have gone through the chemo again. its hard to understand why it has to happen to her so many times though. i used to get mad at god and ask why, but now ive come to accept it. for those of you who might be in a situation where you question things, here is the serenity prayer....

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

It's good to know things are looking up for her.

My Great Uncle is living his last month of life right now. He had cancer (not sure where) a year ago, and his doctor said chemo and radiation would reduce his tumor. It did. He went for less and less appointments to the point where his doctor said that tumor wasn't malignant anymore. Well, my Great Uncle went back to the doctor a few days ago and now the tumor has grow so rapidly and is continuing to grow so rapidly that neither chemo nor radiation will help him. His doctor said he has less than a month left to live. He will start to feel tired and lifeless soon.

It's a shame these things just suddenly happen. I guess all you can do is live every day like it's your last.
