    Just my mom; and she was just diagnosed with cancer.   My father died in 2012 (cancer).

    My condolences to those who have lost theirs... My parents are hanging in there. Mom, at 50, has a few too many ails that doctors haven't been able to diagnose.

    I'm sorry about your mom.  Back in 2015, something attacked my body and for a year and a half, I was miserable.  I had every possible test you could imagine and no one was able to give me a diagnosis.  The same way the ailment came on, it disappeared and to this day, I still don't know what it was.

    Thank you, Spunky. She just had a gastroscopy and colonoscopy on the same day. Made jokes about how they might as well check both sides at the same time! I'm glad it went away like that for you, but what a mystery.

    Thanks.  I would love to have known what it was.  Every time a test came back negative, I was stunned.  At one point, I was tested for lymphoma.  The doc called me and said, "I have good news and bad news."  She said, "The good news is that you don't have lymphoma.  The bad news is that we don't know what you have."

    Geez, that seems like a bad way of breaking the news! Would immediately make me assume I tested positive for lymphoma. 

    I'd be significantly more diplomatic: "Spunky, I have good news and I have great news. The good news is you don't have lymphoma. The great news is you're going to make me filthy rich."

    LOL ...  At that point, I was almost wishing it was lymphoma because that's treatable.  You can't treat an unknown disease. This post was edited by Spunky at March 18, 2024 7:13 PM MDT

    My dad passed away in 2012 and my mom in 2017.  Both were 93 when they died.

    My father is. Mum passed away nine years ago, from cancer. She was only 69. I miss her.
