Default My mom was diagnosed with lung cancer 6 months ago and brain cancer yesterday....

...The doctors gave her 6 months.. They said her lungs were looking good and so was the rest of her life. Yesterday she went for a CAT scan and they told her she has brain cancer then immediatly told her she has only 6 months left to live. Can this be true or is there some kind of hope? We just dont understand how things were ok yesterday and today we are discussing funeral arrangements.

first, i wish you and your mother the best. i dont know if i can help, but my grandfather had the same thing happen to him. first he was diagnosed with lung cancer and when he went back they scanned other parts of his body and then found the brain cancer. he was given the wrong treatments which did not help and he passed away a few months before 9/11. all that i can suggest is that you research as much as possible on her condition, and make sure to follow up with doctors and ask as many questions as possible. good luck and god bless

Every person is different...they told my grandpa the same thing....he lived for another two years. I know of another man who was told that ten years ago...he quit his job and everything. I'm not going to lie...brain cancer is very hard to cure...but I think it's ok to have hope. Sometimes it's the only thing we can control. Be there for her, support her and give her all the love in the world...No one can tell us when we are going to die....it's their way of saying, it looks bad and there is nothing we can do, but everyone has a different will to live or die. I'm so sorry that you and your family are dealing with this....just be there for each other and cherish every moment you have with her. I've been in your shoes and I know how hard this is. Just take it one day at a time.

God bless!

Cancer is a deceptive, very quick, and rotten disease. There is no cure for cancer and there are no guarantees that treatment will succeed. You take one day at a time. Unfortunately, for your Mom things were not ok yesterday at all . . it's just that no one, not even the doctors, could actually see or find the cancer in her body because it was microscopic. It was always there, just too small to find. Once the cancer grows large enough . .than they can detect it. Doctors cannot treat what they cannot see or find in the body. That is why your Mom was having CT in the first place . . to see if the cancer was present and what it was doing.

I am so sorry this is happening to your family, especially this time of year. Remember that the doctors are not always right . . your Mom may surprise them yet. In the meantime, stay focused and enjoy your Mom every single day. Don't worry about what might happen.

Best to you.

that's awful, but let me tell you something.. i dont know what your religon is, and i dont wanna know-but there ARE miracles, noone can actually know. when its her time, its her time.. i know someone who only had a few months, and its been 8 months and still counting! there IS lots and lots of hope, if your christian pray pray pray.. and i will also. i have a huge heart, and will welcome anyone in & that just crushed it.. when i was 11 my pap got diagnosed with cancer it was nothing major tho, and im 15 now, and just got back from visiting him, hes ad happy as can be. i wish you all the world. tho you probably wont beleive me, ill pray for her tonigt, i promise. good luck & god bless you & your family<3
