    Hello members,

    I am searching for any support anyone can give me to help keep me from losing my mind. My mother has been recently diagnosed with breast cancer, this past May 2015. To say the least it has been a struggle for me, because I live in Austin and she is in Atlanta. True be it, she does have my brother, father and grammie there to assist her, but as her only daughter I fell helpless. I am trying my best to remain positive in the midst of this storm because I know life and death lies in the power of the tongue, but my heart is hurting - I truly don't know where to begin to do research or get any answers. I get limited information from my family; they don't want me to worry and they know I will walk out on my lease and my job in a heart beat when it comes to my family; especially my mommie.

    My mom has been complaining of muscle and joint pain and her doctor is taking her off chemo for the next 3 weeks (sessions) to see if the chemo is causing her mobility issues; she has to use a walker or cane, someone has to be with her at all times and she says her feet and her hands tingle. I was reading up on the causes and tried to find exercise she may be able to do sitting down or those she can be assisted with.

    Does anyone know of any ideas or suggestions I can pass along to my mom / family? Any direction someone can give me is greatly appreciated. I know I may be rambling and not making much sense but I'm still trying to get my grip on this.

    I thank you in advance for any help and wish nothing but the best and blessings to us all as we travel on this journey.

    Peace and Blessings

    Scarlet.
