It brings me peace to still be able to google her name and read about what an insperation she was to others. I have few memories of my mother, but I am able to know who she was by what people say about her on their pages. I like to believe that those words are the few I can trust online. Thank you for this post and I hope life is well. <br />Emily PierotEmilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9804989.post-1154250320369943402006-07-30T05:05:00.000-04:002006-07-30T05:05:00.000-04:00She really is a survivor, Nea.

Sometimes they just toss the dice. With Mom they didn't give her much hope when they found the Lymphoma, that was back when Scott graduated from high school, 10 years ago. She has had five different cancers. I guess she might have others now. It all started with breast cancer. We talked tonight, she did't mention her health at all, that is the way she is.Neomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483213915316279993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9804989.post-1154193148942476602006-07-29T13:12:00.000-04:002006-07-29T13:12:00.000-04:00NeaIt really shows us that doctors can't predict t...Nea<BR/>It really shows us that doctors can't predict the end and thank goodness she had this long. A friend of mine had breast cancer in the eighties and it had metastasized, so the doctors didn't even want to start reconstruction. Told her to get her affairs in order. She told them no. She had the chemo and the reconstruction and she's still alive, healthy and going strong.Prishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03970753027686923295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9804989.post-1154192604146210042006-07-29T13:03:00.000-04:002006-07-29T13:03:00.000-04:00Hi Pris....hits close tohome.

This one there is no treatment for but transfusuions. I have begun writing about it myself, more as a journal, but I guess in a way it is also therpeutic. Not for hr though, just for me. She is the one that is fighting the losing battle. She has decided to just let nature takes its course now, so I guess she has just about six months. It is a wake up call, do what you can while you can as much as you can, because those last months you don't want to just think about all the things you would have done. She said to me a couple days ago, I knew that I might die of cancer, but I didn't know I would have this long, I am actually gratefull I got to see most of my Grandkids grow up and marry. Now I am just tired. I will go and read her articles.Neomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483213915316279993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9804989.post-1154186568014894772006-07-29T11:22:00.000-04:002006-07-29T11:22:00.000-04:00I do love your blog.

I plan to scan it today sometime and add it. It was the one about wanting her mother to be with her so badly when she died, yet knowing it was likely that she wouldn't. I know how much more stronger my own mother's presence in my life became after I got sick, even though not with anything life threatening.<BR/><BR/>And pepe, I have a friend who's a long time survivor of melanoma, too, and she's just now been journaling about that, as well as her courtship and marriage, to pass to her children when she finishes. Those words do indeed last on. I had the last letter her own mother wrote before she died in her forties of pneumonia, when mother was 13, and have read it time and again, trying to get some glimpse of the grandmother I never knew.Prishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03970753027686923295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9804989.post-1154142868162162102006-07-28T23:14:00.000-04:002006-07-28T23:14:00.000-04:00Pris, you are such a beautiful, caring soul. And ...Pris, you are such a beautiful, caring soul. And she was also a beautiful person, inside and out. I began to read her pieces and couldn't stop. I read many of them, and they all took me back to my own mother's death, from breast cancer, and she became like the child, and I was able to bathe her and feed her and just touch her like I never had before. We slept together, and listened to music, and I read to her. She was a great strength to me. I am a survivor (so far, so good) of melanoma. Dr. Loren Eiseley writes of times in our lives "when the kaliedoscope shifts, and nothing ever after is the same." Writing about it, was also for me a sharing, a catharsis. So, I will probably never be famous, but I have left "the words" for my children and grandchildren, as she did. Erica Jong wrote in one of her poems: "Since flesh can't stay, we keep the breath aloft. Since flesh can't stay, we pass the words along."<BR/><BR/>Thanks for this.Joyce Ellen Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494251587598676788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9804989.post-1154125445398996232006-07-28T18:24:00.000-04:002006-07-28T18:24:00.000-04:00Thank you both for posting.

Isn't it amazing how sometimes it is the people that we know through writing or blogs, etc. rather than know personally that have the most impact on our lives?novice.knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073099259801881407noreply@blogger.com
