My mother is dying. XW wants to be my friend.

Please get your mom to read the materials KML is suggesting. If you knew my H, who is an MD with a military background, you could tell your mom this is NOT some "pro pot" group. It's real science.

And it's making a difference. Some of the protocols only have 50-60 patients in them, what with all the federal regulations and hurdles they have to overcome. But they do and the results are impressive. She does not have to "smoke" it either. And even if she does not qualify for the program, I'm sure there are other ways to research what forms to take to benefit.

I hope your sons make up with their mom some day. And I hope you encourage it. Now that's it over and she's remarried, I also hope you can finally just let go and move forward.

Sending prayers your mom's way. Don't let her give up IF the only treatment she has tried is chemo. A LOT of folks give up on chemo b/c it makes them feel like crap and often promises too little in return.

But there are other modalities out there. Heed KML's comments...PLease for your mother's sake.

And btw, unless it's diapers she does not want you to change, imho, I'd sure double check on what she wants after chemo.

If I knew I was terminally ill, I'd not want to burden my kids but I'd hope they would overcome that resistance, to spend time with me. IN truth, time with them would be my biggest desire.

Please go to your mom, even when she's not well. Make sure you are clear with her that you can handle it.

My dad's death was about 57 days from diagnosis. I'm glad for every day I spent with him.

And so was he. Good luck!
