Pearlz of Tots: My Queen and breast cancer

She has decided to come out and grace the world today (Saturday 26/12/2009@ 12.45pm)… and due to that, we decided to take her ‘everywhere’ we could today. Cancelled everything else and spend the rest of the day with her, for her. LUV U MAK…

My mom suffers from breast cancer...

Breast Cancer

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with breast cancer, it's important to understand some basics: What is breast cancer and how does it happen. There’s thousands of articles, support groups, forums, seminars and talks that are able to help you figure out how you can manage anxiety so you can focus on living a happy and healthy life.

I have read so much ever since.. only wish that my mother is willing to accept and work with us to cure. The state of denial she is in does not help at all. Love her all the same. (It was only last year that we’ve managed to get a doctor’s diagnose… she does not want medical checkups. Stressful eh..)

Cancer is a class of diseases or disorders characterized by excessive, uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells, which invade and destroy other tissues. It develops in almost any organ or tissue of the body and may affect people of all ages, but risk tends to increase with age.

These are some articles from the world wide web that I find educational. In no particular order… medicine net on breast cancer… (this is a real library for me), Cancer – educate yourself, natural Health for Women: Causes, Prevention, and Natural Cures of Breast Cancer, Alternative cancer solution, world without cancer, Laetrile Vitamin B17, B17 Apricot Seed, Khazanah Herba Warisan Bumi. Thousands of articles… there’s books, magazines. Seek and you will find. I am sure if you ‘Google’ and spend time reading them, you’d find lots of information.

Some pictures from the world wide web…. cells, the real thing and an x-ray that is similar to my mother’s.

Emotions

A cancer diagnosis brings many things to cope with, both body and mind. When you are given the news of a breast cancer diagnosis, you may react on many different levels all at once. Your heart skips a beat, lungs gasp for air, ears block out sound, eyes become still and wet, stomach contracts, and arms move protectively across your chest. Your mind and emotions wrestle for control, a struggle that may go on until you have time to adjust. Your reaction may vary, since your family situation, support network, workplace setting, financial status, and perceptions about cancer are unique to you.

Remember, too, that when you are diagnosed, you join a great many other women and men who have been down this road and survived. So as you go into treatment, plan on being a survivor.

For me… Love, Understanding, Tolerance, Redha, Dua and Prayers… LOVE YOU MOM!
