Am I in denial?
| Tue, 05-09-2006 - 5:50pm |
I am not sure what I should be feeling or saying about my mom and her terminal cancer. She seems to be getting worse everyday. We are extreemly close although whenever she talks to me about her aches and pains or worse when she says she feels like her body is giving up I always ignore her! or change the subject. I feel like an awful daughter, am I normal?

Thank you florida_girl! I do find its very helpful to hear that other people are going through the exact same emotions that I am. It makes me feel not as alone. It also makes me feel not as ashamed. Good luck to you! Feel free to post anytime you want to talk to me.

Hi Judy,
I just thought I would let you know that my moms hemoglobin is slowly going down. She is at 9 now. I am sure you know what that means. If it goes down anymore she will need yet another blood transfusion. Wish us luck that it will perk back up! I can't see my Mom for a while now because my youngest daughter came down with the chicken pox! I think it was a blessing in disguise that she couldn't make it down here last week.

Melissa yes I do know what a count of 9 means for hemoglobin as I was there myself several times and had several blood transfusions.
