Having been on both sides of the cancer scene, I can honestly say the hardest side was watching my wife's fight with it. There is that complete hopeless feeling of knowing there was nothing I could do to make it better, to fix it. All I could do was sit there be with her help her however I could. It was not easy not being able to fix it.

Having gone through some cancer, skin, then lung cancer, I sort of know what it is like to be on the receiving side of it also. I was lucky, it was a simple matter of removal of the bad bits and pieces. Losing half a lung, but then I did not have to go through the chemo stuff, they got it all.

I would rather go through cancer again then have to watch my wife go through it again, she had to do the chemo thing, it was not easy, she managed it and we both survive still.

You and Faith will need each other, she is going through the same fears as you with her mother, she is likely more concerned with her mothers health than her own, I am sure you both know that the hopeless feelings are going to rise, the fear is going to rise, and the frustration, the not being able to fix it.

You have each other, all three of you, Faiths mother is likely more concerned about her, all you and Faith can do it help your mother know you are both there for her, that you both are going to work on helping her, then you worry about Faith.

You have my sincerest sympathy, this is one road you have to travel that I would not want to, but have had to. During my wife's cancer treatment, her father passed from cancer, it was not a pleasant time for me, it was a hard road to travel and always will be.

Thoughts and prayers going out to all three of you.
