I know this doesnt have anything to do with anything on here, just feeling totally helpless. :( My best friends mother was diagnosed with colon cancer, she was given 90 days to live, 2 years ago this month. Thank the Lord she was here all the extra time to see her grandbaby born. She tried to use modern medicine and natural and seemed to be doing better. Meanwhile, it moved to her liver and she was too far into the cancer that it was pretty much a waiting game. And then the day I dreaded arrived, my bf just text messaged me and said her mom has minutes to live...:cry: I am so grief stricken right now and feel completely helpless, I let her know I was here if there was anything I could do and I told her I love her...I just wish that I could help her to feel better but I know it's something that will come in time especially for her because she doesnt deal well with her feelings... :cry: Sorry... just had to vent:(
