When parents age and become "unlovable" (or if they never really were the parents you needed them to be) a good shift is from thatidea of a "loving" daughter/ mother-dad relationship to "honoring" your mum or dad. Do what you can safely do at this point; that way you will honor her as your mother, which is still a good thing.

Thanks KD and katheryn,

They moved her scan up. She's having one next week and not at the end of August as originally planned.

Her case was presented to the panel at Moffitt and soon after she got a call changing her appointment to Thursday.

I see it as both good and bad. Good-- they're reacting much quicker than the four weeks that were originally planned.

Bad-- they're reacting much quicker than the four weeks that were originally planned which must mean it's a dire emergency. My mom

Thanks everyone. It's an emotional time for me right now. My nerves are shot to hell.

On top of worrying about my mom, my T goes for her scan to see if her cancer has come back. She has beat it twice now so I'm hopeful, but it's still scary.

The ghosts of my family are hovering around too. I feel like that little ten-year-old who lost her father. And even though I was an adult when my two brothers died, I still feel small.

The little one is grieving for so many lost and she's fearing the loss ahead. My mom
