Q 2569 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Survivor-themed Cruise Spokesperson" 05-23-03, 12:41 PM (EST) "Thurs, May 22 was a terrible day." OK, so I'm in a foul mood. I'm not saying this to excuse anything, except perhaps my total lack of humor today. But last night my Mother called to tell me that my Aunt in Albany had 7 biopsies taken on her breast, and 6 came back cancerous. This came out of the blue and made me very sad. She asked me to write to her, and I have already done so. Then my Mother goes on to tell me the following, and some of you may remember my post about her wrecking her infinity. Dan, remember when I had my car accident? Remember I told you I may have fallen asleep, or the snow was the cause? Well as it turns out, I have been having terrible migraines (sp?), and black out spells. I was like WHAT? And HOW LONG? Half a year she replies, if not more. (and of course she said nothing to me about it). So I ask why are you telling me now then? She said, well I have had several MRIs, etc and the doctors are now going to send me to a NYC specialist for brain abnormalities, etc. She said they have found many many spots in her brain. They think it can be early Alzheimer's, or that she has been having mini-strokes which could explain the headaches and blackouts. So this is how she leaves it.. But I don't want you to worry. It will all be fine. I will talk to you next week. So that was my Great Day. I just wanted to scream at her. I mean what was she waiting for to tell me? I would rather know early, then when its just about to late. It is astonishing how foolish humans can be in groups, especially when they follow their leaders without question - States: The Bene Gesserit View. All States Are an Abstraction.   Top

weltek 16936 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-23-03, 12:48 PM (EST) 3. "Pummeling Q with hugs" Q, I'm sooo sorry for all the bad news. Remember that this is very hard for your mother and she deserves a little leeway. Don't be too hard on her. I know right now you are frustrated, but try and remember that you will need to be here for your family, and in turn, your SB OT family will be here for you. If you need to blow off some steam at your mother, tell her how you feel, but tell her that you understand she may have had her own reasons for not telling you and let her know you are there for her every step of the way. Then you can both move past this and move forward with getting her well. Much love, Q. Take care.   Top

Schnookie Palookie 16822 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-23-03, 01:11 PM (EST) 12. "RE: Thurs, May 22 was a terrible day." Q honey *BIG HUGS*. When my mom went through biopsies for her breast cancer, she didn't tell any of us and went through it all by herself. It was only when she had to have the breast surgery that she finally told us. I was very upset, especially knowing she went through it all alone. But, she's a mom ... and mom's don't want to worry their children. At some point, they finally have to say something, which your mom has done. All you can do is be there for her, as I know you will be. I will keep you, your mom and your aunt in my thoughts and prayers. We are always here for you sweetie.   Top

Next, don't be too hard on your mother for keeping quiet, I do the same thing with my family.

Hang in there, we've all got your back. I can understand your being a little miffed at your mom, but she probably didn't want to worry you (sounds like a typical mom to me!). Maybe when she found about your aunt, she got scared, and decided to tell you. Hope you get to do something fun this weekend to take your mind off it.   Top

mtopaz 2167 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Roller Coaster Inaugurator" 05-23-03, 03:35 PM (EST) 22. "RE: Thurs, May 22 was a terrible day." Q, I'm so sorry to hear about you mom's health problems. I hope that whatever it is, they can at least determine what the brain abnormalities are, maybe be able to treat her for them. I can understand your shock and distress, but some people simply want to keep their health concerns to themselves, for whatever reason. My whole family went through something very similar with my brother, who died of AIDS. He had AIDS for many, many years apparently, but never told us. Just dealt with it on his own. It was only when he finally went downhill and was dying, that we learned. It's heartbreaking that he chose to deal with this on his own, and didn't allow us the opportunity to try to help him. It was very hard for me to accept that my brother had the right to make the decision to keep his medical condition to himself. What I finally figured was a big part of it, was the superstition that if he openly talked about it, it would make him worse. Probably that's a little of that going on subconsciously for your mom too. *hug* and I will keep your mom in my thoughts. Mmmm Topaz   Top

Our thoughts are with you and hopefully your weekend is going well to spend some quality time with your family. It's never easy having a medical condition and I can understand why some people wouldn't want to make a big deal out of it. I don't always tell my mom when I have something because she'll make a big production out of it. Perhaps she didn't want to worry you (or others in the family) incessantly? I hope you can have some quality time with her, nevertheless. Hang in there... we'll be here when you get back and you can yell any time you want.
