Ask Your Question today
I know this isn't usually the site for it but I feel like you're good people and wanted to ask if you could send your positive thoughts to my relative who has stage 4 cancer. I really can't lose her and she's a really good person who doesn't deserve this. Please any thoughts you can send her way, please do. Thanks. You can call her B.
I said a prayer for your relative. I think the best thing you can do now is to always tell that person how much you love them, and be grateful that he, or she was in your life. You can also pray to God, and ask for your relative's passing to not be difficult.
I wish I could give you better advice. You could also pray for strength in this difficult time, and ask for God's comfort.
One thing is for sure, please know that you are not alone in your suffering. There are many who have, and are in the process of losing their loved ones. Maybe you can find a support group for those who are grieving online? I would say as long your relative is alive you ought to try to visit them, if possible, offer your love, and comfort. Tell them how much they mean to you, and recall happy memories of them from your life to them. Maybe you could read to the person?
I wish her well, man. Sorry to hear about that. Also, I'm sorry to tell you, but stage 4 is when you don't come back. You may have to come to terms with that yourself. Sorry for your and her pain, dude. I hope her last days are at least pleasent ones.
Not to poop on your spiel, but yes typically stage 4 cancer is terminal, but also depending on the type of cancer not all hope is lost! My mother HAD stage 4 breast cancer (and liver), and is now 16 years cancer free.
I hope this person holds on tight as treatments are so advanced from 16 years ago that they can treat more cancers and more efficiently
Thanks it's true I've read some success stories. They have lung cancer but I don't exactly know much about where it is or anything and can't really ask too much. I have seen people with all kinds of stage 4 cancers overcome it and are in remission or it slows down the rate so hopefully. Yeah I hope so too. I'm glad your mom overcame it that's amazing, thanks for sharing
Its really weird for her as her oncologist calls her “cured”. She only has to go in for the recommended mammograms now, but is still vigil as always.
She had a completely different type of Breast cancer a few years ago (stage zero) that required partial removal of one boob, so thats also a thing.
Thankfuckinggod she tested negative for the brca 1 and 2 gene, or i’d be fucked too
Cancer is terrible. I hope one day its curable. I dont even know what to say. My grandaddy died from cancer too when I was younger. Its rough man sorry bout it.
I wish the best for your relative and send positive thoughts to you & her.
Stage 4 Cancer is no longer an immediate death sentence. Treatment has come a long way.
My condolences for your situation. Cancer is a terrible thing, but there are many stories of people beating it and making great recoveries.
You have my hopes for a bright future.
What's sending positive thoughts going to do? I am sorry if this comes off as insensitive, but it's not like sending positivity is going to do anything. It isn't going to cure her.
It may not cure or help in any way, but i imagine that knowing that there are others that know the situation, perhaps some that have suffered or endured with a loved one, it may give strength to face the battles ahead.
We don't all have someone to talk to when times get tough and if someone can get strength from a group of strangers then i think its fantastic.
I don't have any family left to pass now, the last 7 years have taken all the upper generations.
My father battled ill health for many years and befor he passed 2 years ago he was battling cancer too, ultimately cancer didn't take him, but with family scattered far and wide, his care etc. Fell on my shoulders, i wouldn't have had it any other way, it was an honour to look after him, obviously it was a time of great stress and upset and although my girlfriend Sarah was a huge support, randomly it was chatting with my barber/hairdresser that kept me sane, his father had surgery for cancer and there was a lot of common ground. Now and then we would text and i really appreciate the strength i got simply from knowing that someone understood.
I do understand your point that it doesn't fix anything, it really doesn't.
But if it can help someone gwt through the storm then surely it has to be a positive thing.
Sending prayers and positive thoughts to your loved one. I'm so sorry to hear this, cancer sucks and my family has gone through the same situation with a loved one recently. I'm wishing the best for you and your family!
