i just want to thank you for your prayers. my mom seems to get better, her lymphnodes are less or no more swollen. The CT scans in a month will tell all the truth also for liver, lung and bone mets!
I ask you this time to pray for me too. Financial incomes in the past months were not so good, I could work more time and harder, normally i'm very productive and inspired on work, but i prefered to spend more time with my sweet mom, and i don't regret for this! So, i don't have the convenience to live anymore alone. I was just so glad to have my own space, my own home, where i could find some peace, relax and relief from stress, bcmets and other problems. But now, paying the rent for the house is a stress, so i'm thinking seriously to move back to my mother. Please pray for my mom, for not being upset with my financial issues, she needs to be in peace.
Thank you so much,
Lorenzo

    For you and your mother Lorenzo...breast cancer is not just about fighting the disease..it affects our lives in so many other ways, financially as well as spiritually. Your mother is truly blessed to have you by her side and you will not ever regret the time you took away from your own life and your work to be with her. Sending you both positive thoughts and prayers.

    Dearest Lorenzo,
    I am a family member too, and I so understand what you are going through. This journey is one that gives us a different view of what is importain to us. I echo Sherry's thoughts that you will not regret your choice to be with her more. Our dear family members feel like they are being a burden, if they only knew how much it helps us to be doing such a small thing as giving back to them the love they have given us. You and your dearest Mother are in my prayers Lorenzo, God will take care of you put it in his hands ~

    Lorenzo, praying for strength for you...it's when we feel we have none left that we find stores of strength we didn't know we had. And I pray that your financial worries are lifted from your shoulders. Hopefully you can find some form of assistance through social workers or social assistance programs where you live while you are helping your mother.

    Lorenzo, what a wonderful man and son you are.
    May God shine his healing light on your mother and may you find peace within this storm
    Move back home and be with her for now...
    Everything has a way of working out and you will see that this is what you both need
    The generosity of the love in your heart is worth more than any monetary amount for it will be returned to you ten fold by God.

    Blessing to you

    Good morning!
    thank you so much for your continuous prayers and thoughts!
    My mother is doing well with her treatment except from hand/foot syndrome that some days is very disturbing and aches. Remember that my mother has extensive axillary and suvraclavicular lymphnodes involvement in left area and thoracic area, extensive liver and bone mets, and some spots in left lung. she says me that if she only didn't had the side effects, she would feel ok.
    as for me i'm in great stress and anxiety about my financial issues. i expect something like a miracle, don'y know exactly what. so please continue to pray everyday. as i see, your prayers are very powerful! God bless you all!

    Lorenzo, I would be proud to have you as my son and know what a loving, compassionate man you are!!! You have much on your plate and I can only pray that the financial problems will improve. Years ago when my son was very ill and I couldn't work very much, I contacted my landlord and explained the situation. They did let me make my rent in payments until I could work again. Perhaps those that you owe, you could explain the situation and see if they will work with you. I know you live in Greece so not sure the extent of the cultural difference and if this is something that you could try. Do your churches/religious centers there help those like you and your mom?

    May the good Lord bless each of you and give you a peace that only His presence can bring.

    Dear Brenda, thank you so much.
    my landlord lives in South Africa, i pay the rent to her bank account. These days she is Greece, i've founded her phone number but no one answers.
    i'm just stressed because last year i payed after 2 months and she called me telling me that her account in greece has a lot of expenses. well, she has right. i don't know if she will accept a delay.
    as for the churches, it's different. they help people that are in desperate need, they would respond me: go back to your mother's home. don't be so egoist. i will understand that too.

    good morning to all!
    please continue to pray for my mother.
    today she has back pain and she feels very down. 2 weeks before, she had another horrible pain on the back. she could feel her heart beating on on her back. after that, the pain has gone to the back part of the head. she felt dizziness and vomited twice. the next day everything was ok. i'm just so scared, my sister too. psychologicaly my mother is very depressed. she is saying she don't want to live anymore, she is tired of the continous treatment, she cries everyday telling that growing older is not good. she is talking only about the negatives memories of the past.
    at least i had my own apartment on rent and so, sometimes i could go there and feel relaxed. now i must move back because of financial issues. our life is getting a nightmare. when i go back to home, i see her depressed and lamenting and this is horrible. when i go to sleep i see only nightmares. so, the next day i weak up tired and go to work tired. please pray for us....
