Prayers for my Mom Please!!
I am so worried about my Mom tonight.
She had BC mets to the lungs 3 years ago . Went thru chemo and taking arimidex and it was in remission for up until a couple months ago. Now her blood counts have gone up. They found a couple spots on her sternum . They also took a tumor off of her neck which was connected to the muscle and it was cancer.
Today, all of a sudden she is VERY spaced out. She is confused and not making sense.
I live 350 miles away. My Brother called and told me he thought she was having a mental breakdown.
Let me explain. My dad had a mental breakdown years ago and my brother is saying Mom is acting like he did. She does take a lot of drugs. She has tried about every antidepressant on the market but allways quites .
I talked to her on phone tonight and she is very confused. Does not make much sense. So, I dont know if she has taken some combo of drugs to be this way . But, I also worry that the cancer has spread to her brain. That is how her sister died.
I realy need some prayers for myself to be strong enough to handle whatever is going on ( I also have had BC twice in the last 10 years ) and for my MOM.
My brother has emotional problems so it is hard to talk to him right now as he is convinced Mom is having a mental breakdown.
Please add her to your prayers!!

Without a doubt, sierraa, prayers are flying to you from Texas. You don't mention your mother's age, but she has been to he** and back again, hasn't she? Is there a possiblity of a stroke, or "mini-strokes" going on? Have you spoken to her doctor(s)? Did this come on suddenly, or has it been building? Gee---the worries of trying to take care of our parents long distance!!
Sending you the strength you need during this most trying of times....

What mention described as mini-strokes will also cause these confusion symptoms. Happened with both my parents. Sending prayers for you and your family. Hugs Joann
