Re: Prayers Needed For My Mother, New Update Page 1.
I will prayer for your mother and all your family. My dad took chemo at age 55, it killed him. I had breast cancer at 44, took chemo and it almost killed me. I ended up not finishing the treatments....here is how it went for me...1 treatment full strength almost killed me....2nd treatment half strength almost killed me again...3rd treatment half strength almost killed me again....4th treatment (new med) full strength almost killed me again. I was hospitalized 26 times in a 6 month period....the last chemo treatment....I said no more. Left it in God's hands, which is what I should have done to begin with. I still have problems from the chemo. Nerve damage on my feet, and arms...as well as damage to my heart from a heart attack I incurred 3 hours after my 3rd chemo treatment.
Again prayers to your family and your mom.

Re: Prayers Needed For My Mother, New Update Page 1.
OP, my father was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. To ease you worries, the doctors told us (about 7 years ago, when he was diagnosed) that if you were to have any cancer, multiple myeloma would be the "best". It's the easiest to treat, with tons of very viable options that my father went through all throughout these years. Now he's on pomalidomide and it's reversing a lot of the growths. There's stem cell transplants which gave him 2 years of being cancer free until it came back, then he got onto valcade and something else, but he stopped to try out a clinical trial. This set him back as it caused the cancer to progress. But he's back on the Pom and it's working again.

He got chemo and radiation to zap a bunch of tumors that grew throughout the years. But the good thing about myeloma is that it grows on bone; it doesn't damage tissue like aggressive cancers (leukemia, etc). Avoid falling, and strengthen her muscles and bones. Even take medical marajuana to increase her appetite and reduce the pain during chemo and radiation if they're needed.

The main treatment that helps in conjunction with everything are steroids (not anabolic). They reduce inflammation and give you energy. They also make you want to eat a lot, so when she gets on steroids, keep an eye out for her blood sugar. It will spike and may cause swelling.

If you want to get in touch with me and talk about it id be more than happy to tell you everything I know and experienced. Long story short, her life will continue on without much pain or handicap. She will meet tons of people at the hospital who are super nice and friendly, and make connections with other cancer patients. It's an experience that no one should go through but she will beat it. People rarely die from multiple myeloma; it's usually complications such as pneumonia and physical injuries that add up and eventually take a toll on the body. Stay strong and I will pray for you (it works, too)

At 91 I'm pretty certain that standard treatments of chemicals, radiation will kill her. In fact, her last days, she will most probably beg to die.
I cared for my mother and when I found out her case was terminal, I made sure that we kept postponing those poisons being put into her and her last months were as pleasant as anyone with metastatic cancer can be. She enjoyed nice Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners and went to the hospital two days after Xmas and passed away less than a month later in hospice care.
Palliative care (aka Hospice) is what you want to give a 91 year old, particularly with congestive heart failure.
I'll pray for your mother and you and your family with the hopes that you can all come together and make her last days pleasantly memorable and comfortable for her and for you and all the family.

Re: Prayers Needed For My Mother, New Update Page 1.
I've issues with my 90 year old mom.
However I don't have a brother who could help, instead I have a brother and sister who keep robbing her and emptying her house every time she is in the hospital or rehab. I live too far away and my own health keeps me from helping her.
Also have another sister literally on her death bed right now, hospice is daily.
There comes a time when you think they are blessed to leave this world naturally instead of hanging on for what is coming.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 46747744


It feels like being stuck between a rock and a hard place. I had just come back from my oldest daughters 2nd doctor appointment of the day, when I got the bad news. I have 2 brothers who do little to nothing. One has a valid excuse, as he is a thousand miles away, and his wife also has cancer and MS, but the other one is fairly close, and can't be bothered. Thank God for my 2nd oldest brother, who has been an absolute Blessing for my mother.

I wish your mother & family the very best, but praying is pointless.

However if it makes you feel better and you believe it can or will somehow help, you keep praying till the cows come home.

I am so sorry sweetie. My condolences sincerely. My Mimi passed away from multiple myeloma. She was 62 and made the decision to meet her maker. She didn't want chemo. She just wanted to be kept comfortable. I do miss her. I miss her so badly. I really am sorry you and your family are having to go through this.

Go for whatever gets you through, I know you are in a terrible moment right now.

Right now, prayers are being sent from me to Our Lord God for Marian, your mother.

Her name is the name of the mother of Jesus.hf

No one knows when this kind of illness will strike them or someone close to them. Any of us could be the one facing the diagnosis or the one planning how to cope.

So ongoing prayers from me to God about your mother.

Please let us know what she decides to do. At her age, the myeloma may be less aggressive, I don't know. Find out what you can about how her age might affect prognosis with and without chemotherapy.

Years ago, an elderly person I knew had chemo. Had a terrible time. But he is still alive 15 years later with no lasting side effects.
 Quoting: beeches


My mother is already weak, and only 78 pounds. I don't think she can handle the chemo.
 Quoting: tiger1


As a cancer of the blood-building cells, myeloma will cause weakness. Find a practitioner you trust to guide her through the choices she or you will have to make.

We will support you with our prayers. No one should ever underestimate the power of prayer.

God bless you both this night.

I know the chemo will kill her. She has too much faith in doctors, and will probably consent to chemo. My brother does have medical power of attorney. I talked to him earlier, and stressed that the chemo will kill her, that alternatives to conventional medicine is the only thing that might help.
