[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 672280, member: 18284"] Mommindy -- Wow. That's a lot you have going on there all at once. First, know that your health deserves attention first! There's so much I don't know. But I can share this with you (in support of you).... When our son was struggling mightily 3 years ago (he was 22, homeless, addicted), I also was diagnosed with cancer (Stage 1, Grade 2, atypical endometrial cancer). I told our son I needed at least 3 months away from drama (and I actually asked him to stay away....that if it got really bad I'd be in touch) while I had surgery and did radiation. I took those 3 months off and, to his credit, our son complied with my request. No extra drama. It was a little crazy because those 3 months away from the drama were exquisite! In fact, that's when it really hit me how hard loving and raising our troubled kids/adults can be.........I found the surgery and radiation easier to handle! No kidding. What a mind-blowing sensation that was. Take time for yourself, Mommindy. You deserve it and, frankly, it is YOUR turn! She will survive. It's YOUR turn to survive. I hope your cancer is receiving good treatment and that you are doing well. You are not selfish to want (and need) to survive! Even your daughter will know this. If not immediately, then eventually. She will. As for her doctor, I'm sorry to hear that. Hoping she finds either the hope, the courage or the new doctor to gain new strengths or nourish already-known strengths. All best wishes to you, Mommindy. Take care and take time for you! [/QUOTE]
