eskie, I wish I knew the reason why your mom didn't take care of this sooner. Actually, I've often questioned why my mom did the same exact thing!

My mom had ignored signs of her sickness for probably 2 years. That's what my guess is. Although my mom's cancer was in her adrenal gland, she did have many signs that she was sick for some time. Like she had a lot of pain for some time. She thought it was just her gallbladder. The gallbladder is right next to the adrenal gland. Well, she put it off and put it off until she couldn't stand anymore. She let it go that long. She finally did go to the emergency room 2 weeks before she died from cancer. By then it had spread throughout her entire body, into her blood stream, and in less than 2 weeks after being diagnosed, it went to her brain.

I know that it's so hard to search for the truth when you will never get an answer. In my opinion, I think that your overdosing is much like your mom ignoring the cancer. That's my wholehearted opinion. I know that my opinion may not count for much, but it's as much of an answer as I think you'll get at this point.

Please try to find peace within yourself.
