Apparently he thinks I’m Chuck Norris. I just got a call from my mom, informing me she has lung cancer. She won’t know the full prognosis until the surgeon looks over the scans and biopsy results, but the biopsy results came back positive for cancer. Without getting into too much detail it’s already been a tough enough year. I’m trying to stay positive, but half of people diagnosed barely make it a year. The 5 year survival rate is like 5%.

The only advice I can give is don’t bottle it up. I know it sounds corny and lame, but it’s true. You keep all that shit locked up your head and it really starts fucking with you, trust me on that.
Also the saying “Things will get better” is really a half truth. Things don’t necessarily get better, sometimes do, but you learn how to cope and process these things so that you’re a more resilient person going forward.
I sincerely wish you the best, also here’s a song I like to listen too when I get emotional. It’s Metallica, but it’s not really metal it’s just plain beautiful.

Man that is awful, I lost my mum to Cancer when I was 15, it was extremely hard to deal with. I really hope that she can pull through this.
From experience I can offer you some advice, spend lots of time with your mother. I was scared to spend much time around my mum, I was in denial, I was pretending it wasn’t happening. This was damaging to me and obviously upsetting for my mum too. If the worst is confirmed, don’t make my mistake. It took me a long time to come to terms with it but I’m ok now.
I now do a lot of runs for charity, I used to be quite a tubby guy but now I’m fit and healthy because I run and raising money for charities is a good side effect of that and it was the main driver too.
I know you’ll have loads of friends and family around for support, but if you need to talk, I’m around oppo.

It probably wont mean much to you, but my thoughts are with you, your family and your mother. Hopefully she can beat the odds.

If I believed that God would never give me more than I could handle, I’d be pretty pissed at him right now. I remember getting those same numbers for my dad. He passed in February.
It’s not easy. Hang in there. Make the most of the time you have. You won’t regret making time for her later.
I’ll be praying for a miracle (i.e. that she’s one of the 5%).

2016 can go suck a bag of dicks. It hasn’t been good for me either, but I’m grateful for what I have.
I wish you and your family the best for dealing with this. I hope your Mom pulls through...

Sorry to hear about your dad. It’s all so overwhelming right now. Millions of people have already gone thru losing a family member to this horrible disease. I guess the bright side is I didn’t get a phone call saying she died suddenly. We still have sometime with her. Although I dread seeing her suffer for months. Thank you!

Thank you. I already feel guilty for not spending time with her, and I just found out. I’ve been going thru a lot dealing with my divorce for the past year, and have been spending every second I can with my son, and then on my business. He needs me, and I need to make a living. I’ve also watched a tenant of mine lose everything she had including her son to Meth. I had to get involved and provide a statement contributing to her losing custody. I feel bad, but I know it was the right thing to do for the child. My mom has reached out a few times to get together, but I’ve always had something else going on. Not today though. I’m taking the day off, and driving to her house to give her a hug.

Thanks man, I’ve already bottled so much up in my head this year. She is normally my go to person, but I didn’t want her to worry about me. Now I’m glad I didn’t bother her with my troubles. I think I’m at the point of needing a therapist now.

Really sorry to hear about this man, going through similar stuff with my grandfather right now. It really is heartbreaking, just try to spend as much time with her as possible, she’ll enjoy more than you’ll every realize.
In times like this, I recommend going on a nice drive to help clear your mind.

Damn.
My wife lost an uncle to lung cancer earlier this year. You probably already realize this, but it bears repeating. Time is short. Spend as much of it as you can with her right now. Take a trip before she can’t take any more trips. Bring your son along. The next holidays should be you, your son, and your mom. They may be her last, so make them count.
When it enters the last stages, it will get really bad really quick. Do everything you can so you won’t have any regrets.
Prayers for you and her.

Sorry to hear. I know that feeling, my Dad was diagnosed with cancer and was dead in a little over a year after.

Sorry about your mother’s condition--it’s hard news and we all know lung cancer is statistically among the worst cancers to have.
My father left us this past summer for the same reason. Heavy smoker, age 58. It was a roller-coaster ride, but after all the drama settles down, I feel a little more grown-up. Compounding this was the fact that everything had to happen half a world away from where I normally live (CA), forcing me and my wife to take extended leave from work. But I am grateful that I got to see and talk to my dad before he passed.
By far the most difficult part was watching my mother lose her life partner.
As with some other commenters, I agree it’s best not to sugar-coat anything. Best of luck to your family and whatever happens, I hope you and your family make peace with it. Vent all you want on Oppo, we’r here for you.

Yeah, things don’t get “better” or “worse.” They just are. We move on and grow up, maybe learn to do things a little differently from before.
