  Hi I have had spiritual experiences since I was a young girl. I am hoping that others can share their experiences during a cancer journey. Here's mine: The part when I had signs started in January. Mom was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer in June 2009. In January 2011 I found out it spread to her brain. I was devastated. On my birthday, January 26 we were on our way back from a day trip. My husband and son were...

  Wow. You were so amazing to her during her illness. What a blessed woman she was to have you. I too miss my mom; we buried her Sunday after a 27 month battle.

The last week of her life she would cry and ramble about being so young (I can only assume what she meant, the cancer went to her brain and she had at least 9 tumor throughout making her h...

Not saying they are horrible people; but they are ...

Right now I'm about 2 hours away trying to enjoy the beach house she reserved for this week; doubt I'll stay more than a couple days as I aleady miss her and can barely hold the tears back. I told her yesterday that when God and her are ready to not worry about us that we have each other but will greatly miss her. Her res...

  Hi I just joinned this site and am looking for some sort of advice or support. My mom started her battle in June 2009 with stage IV breast cancer (hip bone, vertebrae, and liver). Chemo killed all the tumors except in her hip. About a year ago she had radiation to her hip but it was not successful. In December of last year the oncologist discovered it spread to her brain; 9 tumors throughout with the 3 largest on or...
