My mother has cancer and its been a long battle for her. She has non-hodgkins-lymphoma. I feel guilty because of my thoughts of suicide while watching her go through what she does. The uncertainty for her is the hardest part. She has been battling for several years now and holds so much faith. I give her so much credit and I always tell her that she should be proud of herself for fighting and never giving up. She has been in remission but is not feeling well right now. The fear that she is really sick is playing her down. It took many treatments to go into remission and she is so scared that things are changing for her again. She is putting off going to her Doc. and this worries me. I dont know how to help her. Does anyone know how I could encourage her to go speak with her doctors??

How about joining a cancer survivors support group. Those guys will support her and understand her better than anybody else.
They will also push her to take care of herself medically, mentally and spiritually. gab

It has also been shown in studies that people in a cancer survivors support group have a measurably higher rate of a healthier future.
No matter what the root of a medical problem, I believe it is always wrong to discount the emotional and mental aspects of healing which are just as important as medical science. ------------------------------------ --http://www.idexter.com

Elizabeth,
I just wanted to let you know that my best friend also suffered from Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. I understand that the battle is hard and can be emotionally exhausting. However, it can be beaten!! My friend is in remission and the prognosis is good. Just keep the faith..I am sure that it will help not only your mental state but your mom's morale. Stay strong, Jessica <font color=blue> You are in this snowglobe. It is encovered in glass and secure. But one day someone comes and shakes the globe and the pieces go flying everywhere. Now they will eventually settle but they won't be the way they were before and they can never be that way again. </font color=blue>
