Bad family news right before return to work

As if colic and sleep deprivation weren't enough (I also had post partum with DD around 4 months with her), my mom was just diagnosed with colon cancer. Unsure as to the extent until she has surgery. She doesn't want me sharing with the rest of the family until she meets with the doctor. My husband is out of town this weekend and all I can do is cry all day long. I wish with the good news of a new birth (my 10 week old) it could be a happy time altogether. I just had to share here because I feel alone with this sad news.

To top it off, she waited until she was older (65) to have her first colonoscopy against the advise of her previous doctors. Lesson to be learned for all... don't wait. (If I could have made all her medical decisions, I would... but we're all adults here and now the price is to be paid and I pray... and pray... and pray...

  • Oh yeah. And today is the start of my third round of mastitis with a blocked duct. Again. What else can happen today. No napping by the kid? Yeah, that too. Throw up in the house from the dog? That too.

  • Thoughts and prayers to you.
  • Sorry you got such bad news. My mom has been fighting another recurrence of ovarian cancer. Similar to what @zoegirlTX said, the new baby has given her a reason to keep fighting and going through with treatment. Also you can send your mom cute videos to watch while waiting at doctor appointments, etc. She will love it! Thoughts and prayers to your mom and your family!

  • I'm sorry! I'm happy we can be here for you though. My funny for you:

    Q: What did one saggy boob say to the other?
    A: Better perk up or else people will think we're nuts!
  • So sorry about the new of you mother. I hate cancer.
  • The funnies were all quite funny, y'all. Thank you. This past week has been such a landslide of emotion, and to top it off, baby girl is feeding off my negative energy and just acting up 24/7. I have to keep things in perspective though.
