RM95's Girl's mother as had cancer for the last five years or so. About four years ago, she was given weeks to live, then beat it into remission. She's still been going through treatments since then, but she's been able to return to doing many of the things that she was doing before, physically speaking. A few weeks ago they found some mold on her lung and she started to undergo some treatment for that. However, the doctors thought she'd be able to accompany us to Vegas, where tonight I'm asking her only daughter to marry me. However, just hours after they bought their tickets, they found a lump or something on her lung and admitted her to the hospital. RM95's Girl was with her in the hospital as she had a reaction to some of the medication they were giving her, but she ended up getting better to where they ended up releasing her earlier than expected. Then on Friday, she went back in for treatment and her lung collapsed, so she was hospitalized again. RM95's Girl hasn't been able to talk to her since then due to timing really (she was getting treatments or was drugged up). So this morning before her and my sisters went to the spa, she called to hopefully talk to her, but couldn't again. However, her Dad told her that her Mom had something she wanted to tell her and to call when she was finished at the spa. I have a really bad feeling about this. While I'd think if something horrible was imminent, they'd either tell her to get back quickly or he'd just tell her. They also know that I'm asking her tonight, so I don't think he'd say that and it be something bad. However, it just feels like it's going to be one of those, "I love you, I'm proud of you, I'm going to miss you" type things. Please keep RM95's Girl and her family in her thoughts. They are some of, if not the nicest and genuine people I've ever met. We always ask why bad things happen to good people, and to me, that question's never rang truer than today. I'm in tears thinking about it. Thanks.
I'll try to help. Not that it's a guarantee, but my dad's lung collapsed in 1984, and he's still going strong today. As for the cancer, my grandfather was given six months to live in 1986, and he was with us until 1995. Prayers will be there. And I know that this may inappropriate, but today, or tonight, is you and her day. Not her mother's. Worry about her mom tomorrow. Be happy and excited about what will, hopefully, be one of the most memorable moments in your life! Good luck.
Prayers to you and your loved ones RM95. My mom had what we feared might be cancer but turned out to be cyst removed a while back. And then she had another lump recently in her chest, but that was determined to be nothg, just a small clot recently. While nothing major happened and everything turned out fairly ok, the experience of potenital love ones with cancer is a saddening/frightening one that most wont know unless they've gone through it.
With the whirlwind that is Vegas and her Mom, I forgot to ask for prayers for my Dad and my hopefully future brother in-law. They both go in tomorrow to see if they have prostate cancer and melanoma, respectively. Normally, if my Dad was going through this, I'd be freaking out as he's my best friend in addition to a great Dad, but he was just in for his yearly checkup two months ago and they didn't find anything wrong with him in that area. Prostate cancer is easy to combat, relatively, and catching it this early would be great. Thanks again, guys. Tonight will be a happy night! She has no idea!!
