Genetic Testing
Originally posted 2018-07-12 13:08:06. Since momma’s passing and learning that family connection of this cancer I have considered doing genetic testing. Has anyone had this themselves? Could you give me some feedback on your experience? Process? Etc? Thanks – Amy

Missing my momma
Originally posted 2018-07-08 19:29:21. I’m missing my momma so much. It is a pain unlike any other. To never hear her speak, her touch, her smile… It came so suddenly and took her away so abruptly. No fighting chance to keep her here. All hope gone knowing we had to let her go and she just didn’t seem ready. In all honesty I feel lost. My bio father, my brother and my mom all left…

This is what took my momma
Originally posted 2018-07-03 14:31:06. From diagnosis to death was about 21 days. They think it had spread to my momma’s brain because of her mental status and neurological conditions. Plus the fact that her kidneys were not working likely caused by the cancer and kidney stones. My local doctor is going to run some tests considering both my grandmothers and now my momma died as a result of cancer. My bio father’s mother had brain…

Which is it?
Originally posted 2023-10-04 08:58:58. Well…. my dad passed away at first by a heart attack and now was told it was instead an aneurysm.

Why the eldest one can’t do it by himself I don’t know. Thankfully my aunt (technically step…

Heirlooms
Originally posted 2018-06-28 18:19:05. I know some of you are wondering what happened. Well… my mama lost her fight with cancer. She had small cell lung cancer, one of the most aggressive I’m told. Her kidneys started failing and no matter what they did they didn’t gain traction in the right direction. I apologize as I just can’t tell the story just. Too soon. But we just picked up the dogs from the kennel and…

My momma 1949-2018
Originally posted 2018-06-27 18:35:18. Oh how I miss my momma. I know she is no longer in pain. Cancer ravaged her little body twice and she beat it once. The 2nd time it tried but we aren’t sure what truly took her out. It was either her kidneys or the cancer. The cancer was just really aggressive. I love you momma…

This so hard
Originally posted 2018-06-17 22:22:17. Please continue to pray for strength and healing. This is by far one of the hardest things I think I have dealt with in my life. It literally feels like my heart is being ripped out of my chest. Her kidneys just aren’t recovering from the kidney stones and they need to start chemotherapy now. I am watching my mother fight so much but did say if for some reason something…
