My mom passed away on December 15th. It's very sad that on Sep 15th we were informed that she had 3-24 months. She became really weak early November and died at exactly three months. I thought we would have at last a year with her. Her one round of chemo only made things worse.
She was initially diagnosed in August 2008 and had a successful Mandibulectomy in September 2008. She went on to live a normal life for 6 years and I was so thankful for this.
In March of this year she had recurrence. Our doctor indicated he had never seen a case like this where after five plus years he was looking at my mom as a brand new stage IV patient.
She was 54.

Nick,
I'm so sorry about your mother. I lost my mother in 2012 and know how hard it is especially around the holidays. Cherish the memories. Hugs and prayers to you and your family.
Nick,
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your mother.
Nick, Im very sorry to read about the loss of your mother. In time, I hope the memories of happier, healthier times will bring you comfort.
May she rest in peace.
Nick, I'm sorry for your loss. it is hard to lose a parent at any time, but probably more so at this time of the year. My condolences to you and your family.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My father just died 12/25. Hugs.
Thanks everyone!
It is very difficult. My parents migrated from India when I was only 8 months old. They didn't have much when they came here. My mom worked 80 hours a week so that our family could make it. She sacrificed everything for my sisters and I.
Keleigh - thanks! I am familiar with the mandiblectomy as mom had that in 2008 and my dad previously had double bypass. Those are major operations and I wish you and your family the best in the New Year!
Very sorry for your loss may your mother rest in peace.
Nick,
Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your dear mother. She obviously loved you and your family very much, as she worked so hard.
It's very unfair that we lose people so young, especially after she had made it past the 5-year mark.
May you find moments of peace and comfort as you share fond memories of her with your family.
Love in OCF,
Kerri
