  • just make the best of life i know its easier said then done but just avoid thinking and talking about it feel for you bye
  • Oh, little one, that is so sad. I wish I could give you a big hug. I really don't know what to say, but be strong. Get through this. And after you are through it, give mum another chance. We adults are sometimes much frailer than we should be. PS if you ever want to talk, go to my info and find my email. I am a pastor's wife and am a good listener.
  • can you send snail mail letters to your mom? is your uncle understanding and fun to live with? you can be a survivor here. just aim for college. your mother would be proud of you.
  • Honey, I am so sorry. My own daughter went through chemotherapy from 18mths to just shy of three. I fought every step of the way to get her through it and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I'd like to say that I don't understand how a parent could do something like that, but I do. One of two things could be happening. She could be too selfish to handle that much of a disruption in her life. I saw one parent like that in the clinic when my daughter was sick and I had to fight the urge to slap her the few times she was there. She usually sent the child with Grandma, because she was too busy. The other possibility is that she loves you deeply and she is afraid. There probably isn't anything harder to deal with for a loving parent than the prospect of burying a child. It may be that she is so afraid of losing you that she can't cope. If that is the case, maybe she'll get her head around it eventually and come back. Another possibility might be that she is just too emotionally fragile herself, and can't handle it. There is a good video series out that might help you to understand. It was shown on PBS last year. Its called "A Lion in the House." It was filmed at Cincinnati Children's Hospital and followed 6 kids through chemotherapy. It had some good discussion of what families go through in chemo and it might help. In the meantime, keep in mind that this reflects on your mom, not you. Fight the good fight. You didn't say what kind of cancer you have. I guess at your age, leukemia is probably most common. If so, there are good treatments for that and the prognosis isn't too bad. You keep your mind on gettting better. Hopefully, mom will come around.
  • I'm sorry you are hurting. Ask your Uncle if there is a live in cancer facility where you can get the full range of service, including the counseling you need. Most insurance policies will cover it.
  • look for concern people around you to enroll you for counselling.. be strong baby..
  • Talk. . You are not pathetic. You are not pitiful. You are hurt. . Tell people about it. . Tell a lot of people. Be repetitive. Be redundant. Be annoying. . Get it OUT of you. . Where there is life, there is hope. Any day above ground is better than under it. Life is good - enjoy it as much as you are able. . Don't let other people's morality stop you. There is nothing that Jesus won't forgive. Nothing. .
  • As much as it might hurt, I think you need to not rely on your mom. Sometimes mothers aren't the women who give birth to us. Talk to as many trusted adults as you can. And write or draw. Art is a great way to express your feelings. sending thoughts of warm, peace your way.
  • Hi hun!! I am 27 years old and my Mom is doing chemo and radiation. I can imagaine that learning you have cancer can be so extremely overwhelming and scary that you feel like giving up and giving in. I know that this is the time that you NEED people around you to help you cope with your feelings (all feelings) and this is where your Mom should be stepping in. I have to say though...This may be way tooo hard for your Mom to handle. The love she has for you is so great that she simply can't bare to see you in pain, being uncomfortable, being helpless and having uncontrolled feelings. When control is out of a mothers hands for her very own child - she feels useless and maybe even like a failure. Some may see this as your Mom being selfish, but this could be the only way Mom knows how to cope (or not cope). I wanted to hide when I heard my Mom had cancer and never think about it again, but I knew that would make things harder for her and I also knew she NEEDS me now more than ever so I am always there for her. People deal with tragedies differently and sometimes some ways seem TERRIBLE. I feel so sorry for you and I hope you find the comfort you are looking for! I am sure Mom loves you more than you can ever understand! Give her a chance when she returns to you...and she will return! God Bless you!
  • Dont worry Stay with ur uncle ,live with strong confidence and make yourself engaged in the work which you like to work on... never lose your hope do research on yourself in which are you interested in.. commit yourself to your interest and prove your talents Let the whole world watch your height.

  • Hello. Know that you are so valuable and worth life. Your uncle is so lucky to have you in his life. Do things that make you happy. Do you like to journal? Or write songs. Find a way to let out how you feel. Do not blame yourself for anything that has happened. You are priceless and precious. Read stories about people who overcame what you are going through. Talk to God about everything and every part. Don't be afraid of what He might say. Ask Him to step in. You are so beautiful.
