When does it end?

I really don't know how much more I can deal with. My oldest daughter (Debi) has lung cancer. She told us yesterday. She is 37 years old and has 6 yr old and 4 yr old daughters. What really upset me (other than the fact that she has lung cancer) was the fact that she was standing there smoking as she told us. Why can't my daughters do what is right for them and take care of themselves. We were at my two year old granddaughters birthday party and I took Frostie (the one that has had and has so many health issues) and would you believe she didn't take any of her meds, unless I forced the issue? Well, I guess it will be awhile before she comes home. I am not going to become her keeper again. Hazel

Oh Hazel, You really have had more than your fair share. But good for you with being strong with Frostie. She has to start to take responsibility for herself. I wish you some easier days very soon. Hugs, Ronna

Humungous hugs, Hazel. You have been through soooo much... and look at you, you're still going strong. Tired, I bet, but strong. God only gives us as much as we can handle and I'm sure that will settle down soon. Is there any kind of public support you might be able to get into near your home town. Sometimes a real live hug makes things feel soooo mu*****redibly better.

Sending huge ((((((((HUGS)))))))))) your way!!!!! Hang in there!

Wow HAZEL I am feeling for you. I have a sister who was diagnosed with breast cancer at 37 and she was told to quit smoking and would not. I would take her for chemo and radiation and she would smoke with me in the car regardless if I did not want her to. Now her cancer has spread to the bones. She is stage 4 and 41 years old They said it could stay like this for years. She still will not change her lifestyle. Good luck with your daughter and know we are all here for you. Hugs, Chris
