I have a *for life* friend who has that same dynamic.... we get together & can talk all night about everything, anything. No bullshit.... we can say what we think & feel, no holds barred- and that in & of itself is so healthy & good for the soul. <br /><br />These big time decisions are something that person can only decide, and you support. <br />My FIL- age 82 decided he would go through chemo & radiation.... the first few treatments were relatively easy, the last few damned near killed him. <br /><br />In the end, he is now in remission & working on regaining his strength. <br />It was his choice, and he is on the mend. <br /><br />Be there for each other & you have to remember, one day at a time. <br /><br />Sending good thoughts your way.....Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954604416278665691.post-597193796402148832009-06-01T22:38:29.926-06:002009-06-01T22:38:29.926-06:00This is sad news and leaves me without anything to...This is sad news and leaves me without anything to say other than I'll be remembering you both in my thoughts and prayers.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954604416278665691.post-45152171862438619772009-06-01T22:30:12.031-06:002009-06-01T22:30:12.031-06:00Shit.

You feel powerless but you are not. Your one-of-a-kind friendship contains great power.<br /><br />Sharing Z's story is important also. It reminds us all that we should not overlook symptoms. <br /><br />I will hope the biopsy says it's treatable and that Z will allow treatment.D.K.

I'm waiting to hear how the biops...Thank you guys. I'm waiting to hear how the biopsy went. Wondering how long it will be till we know whether it's treatable or not. If it's treatable will she agree? This is the kind of thing that makes me furious since I am helpless to actually do anything. It must be her choice what she does, but... Yet it would be my decision, if I were in her place, to say goodbye to friends and be thankful I wasn't going to have to take my own life to avoid my mother's fate. <br /><br />If this is babble please excuse me. I'm paralyzed, incapable of doing anything to put my own house in order, but I want fiercely to go put Z's house in order. But her daughter is here now, taking charge. She is very capable of creating order out of chaos. She will be the one to give Z's three sons their marching orders and making sure they carry out their assigned tasks. Z has kept her kids in the dark, wanting to protect them, not worry them, not inconvenience them. Again, this makes me furious. My fury does no one any good, fixes nothing, is no comfort to me. I should be writing, but... <br /><br />I will now try to read myself into a nap, with the phone at my side.Utah Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385093247915560752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954604416278665691.post-72855310936666267652009-06-01T13:54:41.864-06:002009-06-01T13:54:41.864-06:00I am so very sorry and I do hope that one of those...I am so very sorry and I do hope that one of those miracles takes hold in this case...Wait.
