Prayers Needed For My Mother, New Update Page 1.

My mother is already weak, and only 78 pounds. I don't think she can handle the chemo.

Maybe this is her way of letting go of life possibly knowing deep inside that the chemo will kill her. Of course, she wouldn't tell that to anyone but the subconscious mind is very powerful. So sorry you are going through this. It must be very difficult.

My mother has been diagnosed with myeloma.She has to go back to the doctors next week to find out what stage, and what treatment options are available. My older brother is handling her doctors at this point, but he is going in the hospital for a hip replacement on April 8th, and will be out of action for a while.I will have to take over at that time.
My mother is 91 years old, has congestive heart failure, and is on oxygen. She only weighs 78 pounds. IMO,she needs to do alternatives, as I believe the chemo will kill her a lot sooner than the cancer.It is up to her, as to what she wants to do. She is quite competent, and can make her own choices.

I ask for prayers from you all. This horrible news is on top of other bad family news we have got today. My daughters are devastated over this.I feel like I am in the Twilight Zone.

UPDATE:

My mother went back to the oncologist yesterday. She was supposed to have tests done to see how far the cancer has spread. The oncologist has done a turnaround. He will not do any more tests, and he will not treat my mother for the cancer. She has to go back and see him in 6 weeks. He repeatedly cited her age. She WANTS to be treated, and told him that her age should have nothing to do with it all.
So, it is what it is. I am surprised at this, as they were really pushing the chemo last week, and she WAS scheduled to have the tests done yesterday.
As for alternatives or special herbal brownies,forget it. She wants the chemo. :(

This could be a blessing in disguise. Chemo works on some, on others it kills..even those it works on it usually leaves them with other disorders and in excruciating pain.

My family is the same way, they all trust doctors and buy into the system. The fact that we don't vaccinate the kids blows their collective minds...

I suggest showing her G Edward Griffin's DVD called "A world without cancer". I can send it to you if you don't have it. Even if she watches it and doesn't want to try laetrile treatment, it may open her mind up to other alternative medicines.

Continuing to pray!

My thoughts and prayers are with you

I wish I had some wise or insightful comment, but, I do not.

All I can tell you is that I will keep you, your mom, and your family in my prayers.

May you be blessed.

kind thoughts op

Prayers sent! I wish you and your mother all the best!

Sweetheart,

Please take your mom to another doctor...the one she has does not get to play God. Best wishes and many hugs to you both.

So very sorry to hear of this. I think Davvi has some good advice there. Sometimes (I) have to be very aggressive with these people. I don't know if you have, but I surely don't mind doing it.

I have prayed and will pray.

God bless you all.

Dear GOD! I am so very sorry to hear this and for your mother. All I can do is pray for her and you.

Maybe this is her way of letting go of life possibly knowing deep inside that the chemo will kill her. Of course, she wouldn't tell that to anyone but the subconscious mind is very powerful. So sorry you are going through this. It must be very difficult.

May God grant you the grace, strength and peace to get through, and help each other to feel loved.

Yes, that may be, and so many people with spirit would much rather go out "fighting" and by treating the illness they feel more in control of their own fate.

I think I would fight for that last breath, at least I hope I would...

I am so sorry, OP.

I read your update and your mom has made her position clear.

It sucks to lose someone.

It really does.

But it is her life, her death, and you have to respect her decisions, even to the end.

You could hold her down and force pot oil and iodine down her throat, as well as other treatments but, if she has already decided to go, it will all be for nothing.

I know, because I have seen it.

It is crazy to watch.

One week. This woman was diagnosed and refused treatment. She should have had at least 6 months to a year left in her, and she willed herself dead in a week.

There really was no medical reason as to how this could have happened. The cancer wasn't the cause of her death. No one could find anything in her autopsy as a COD. Her heart just stopped.

The one chance I see here is that they are now refusing her traditional medical care. If she has NO other choice, she might...might... now be open to alternative treatments.

Approach her with this fact. She really doesn't have anything left to lose on earth, because she will lose her life here if she does nothing.

If not, just love her. Be with her while you can. And let her make her peace with you. That is the one gift you can give her.

Peace.

please see the post of mine I will quote below, can't get them into the same box for some reason -

or let me try this another way - on page 2 of this thread is my post

about a VERY elderly gentleman who had chemo and is alive now FIFTEEN YEARS LATER to tell the tale.

Age is not always a contraindication.

Her oncologist may be doing her a favor, but get a second opinion.

Old people, even very old ones, represent the healthiest people among us.

Do not underestimate them.

and good luck to you, to her, to all involved in her care!!

Before I sleep I want to say your Mother is in my prayers. Oh Lord take the pain from your child and let her be well and clear of all illness.

Margaret is with your Mother this night my friend.

God bless you

My grandmother lived for 20 years after being diagnosed with myeloma.

She didn't have chemo but just let things run its course.

praying for your mum, incredible that she doesn't get treated. go see another doctor asap who will treat her! good luck!

One thing I forgot to add in the update. The doctor told my mother that her cancer was "mild", or words something like that, and she had to be more advanced to get treated. He said this after she was giving him a piece of her mind about the age factor. As far as I am concerned, this is pure b.s. They want to treat the cancer as soon as it is discovered, NOT when it gets advanced.
