Sorry to hear this.

I'm so sorry.      I don't know what else to say except to reach out to others when you need it.  We're all here for you.

I can say I know how you're feeling - metastasized melanoma got my Dad last month, and my older sister is already had an occurrence, so the time line isn't so hot.

But, enjoy the time you have with your mom. I know it's hard as hell... but not much you can do to change it, so try to make the best of it.

With my dad, the tumors moved into his brain, so he couldn't even really talk the last month or so. Not being able to talk to your parent... well you can imagine. So, talk with her - enjoy all the days left. None of us really know how many we've got.

As said, don't hesitate to lean on your friends at bit

Contrary to a particular thread in NMC, the majority of us DO care about you, your mother-in-law and family and everything that comes with the situation.  Vent all you need to out here. More hugs your way.

Dude, I'm sorry to hear this.  Like others have said keep strong for her and just hang in there. I lost both my grandparents (whom I was very close to) in 3 months last year to cancer. It sucks but now they are not in constant pain.

I wish you all the best at being the strongest son-in-law & husband you can be for your family to lean on, and that you have the strength to know when you need to lean on them. And on us.

Very sorry to hear about your mother in law.  Yuu, sorry to hear about your dad.  Lost my dad a little over a year ago to pancreatic cancer. Once it gets to the liver the doctor said it spreads like wildfire.  It took my dad six horrible months to go, words couldn't decribe the spectrum of emotions a person goes through.  Eventually you stop feeling anything - you can't feel such powerful emotions for so long without shutting down.  Peace will prevail, and you'll learn alot. 

I really feel for you.  Pm me if you ever want to talk.

I couldn't say it better than this. Good luck, Adam.

Sorry to hear.  I am going through the same situation with by best friend from college.  Amazing how many people share the same story with loved ones. 

I will have to read the book that was posted above.

Thanks for all of the sympathy and the well wishes.  I had my wife read the thread as well and she was touched by the emotional response from the board.  She normally thinks that I'm just wasting my time farting around and talking about motorcycles.  It's amazing how far reaching this is.  So many people are affected by cancer, either personally or through a loved one.  Once more, thanks for everything.  Adam.
