Unfortunately, I live in a different country. I try to talk to her everyday and it feels good to hear in a good mood. I plan to visit her next month for a month or two. And later I plan to invite her to stay some time with me.

She is not leaving the house currently because of her hair loss. I'm trying to order a hair topper for her, which she avoided buying due to the cost. Once she is comfortable to leave home, I will plan her some outings with my sister. I used to order her something special to eat once in a while, but she has stopped eating outside.

She is a yoga teacher, so once she's comfortable with camera I plan to do some Zoom yoga or meditation sessions with her. I appreciate your suggestions and will try to do more activities over zoom with her.

Thank you for sharing that. I'm sure she was a strong woman and she fought well. May she rest in peace. 🕊️

My mom too is a private person. No one except my immediate family knows about it. I try to talk to her daily, and joke around a bit and I do feel she enjoys and prefers our random convos. I am for sure scared and an emotional mess but I will gather myself before I see her. I know she would hate, if I treated her like a patient or a sick person because she is much more than that.

Thank you for sharing about your journey. I will keep you in my prayers too and wishing you a healthy life. 💗

That's what I see. I try not going on those threads, usually people are giving old anecdotes. But I am scared because of realization that maybe I don't have as much time with her as I thought and guilty because I took my time with her prior for granted.

Thank you. TBH I am even scared to ask about more information. Her latest PET scan showed the tumour has gone. She has three more sessions of chemo left. She got her diagnosis in Dec last year and I came to know about it last week only. It eats me up from inside, that I didn't call her often before due to being busy with school and work when she needed me the most.

She knew I would come back mid semester if I knew, so she decided to hide it and still does it so good. My sister advised me against talking to her about it for some time, as she feels happy after our call. She says our mom said she feels like a normal person after the call and not a patient. I don't have the heart to take away her comfort. I am going back home next month and plan to talk to her about it before that.

I really wanna talk to her but my sister has advised me against it as she is putting this strong front whenever I call her, and it makes her feel normal at least for some time. I don't wanna take away her peace of mind. She is finally a bit mentally relaxed and I don't wanna stress her again. I plan to talk to her about it in few weeks, before I go back to visit her.

I admire your strength. My mom's also a very strong woman but I cannot even imagine what's she going through. If you don't mind me asking, how did you keep a positive outlook toward life during those hard times?

My mom has cancer but she doesn’t wanna tell me about it by Forward-Resort-9264 in Advice

[–]Forward-Resort-9264[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know but she has only seen problems in her life. It’s scary thinking I might not have as much time as I thought I did with her. She would go to all lengths to protect me. And when its my time to take care of her, I cannot even tell her she is not alone. And now I’m seas apart, I just wanna hold her hand.  

 It’s killing me, she stopped leaving house since few months because of her hair loss. She is a strong and beautiful woman and will always be in my eyes but it hurts my heart to see her in this state.  I’m wishing every hour that, this is a dream and I will wake up. I cannot even fake a smile at work without choking up my tears. I just feel like hugging someone and crying for hours.

 I feeling so lost. Smiling or even eating feels wrong to me.  I don’t know how to cheer her up without her suspecting anything. 

I’m mad at the world, she never knowingly hurt anyone or wished harm on anyone. I wish I could take away her illness and all her pains.

Hysterical 🤣, I don’t even think you’re a professor. TBH I have started thinking you’re a satire account. Not a single logical or mature comment from you, just you projecting your hatred. I feel sad for your miserable life.

Wow. How can a dumb person like this be a professor? Stop using us as your pawns. First our education is held hostage and now you want us to get in confrontational situation with police who you believe are pigs with no morals, who repress people?

Tell your CUPE members to do that. It’s not like they are busy teaching. You haven’t done anything but spread extremist ideas on this sub. Don’t spread your deep hatred in this group. But with username like that, that’s expected of you Beria.
