My mom has been diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time. She had her one breast removed and had reconstruction. She just had another mastectomy last friday. But she is having a lot of trouble breathing. This started a few months ago and the doctors aren’t exactly sure what is causing it.The doctors said that she has slight pulmonary fibrosis (scarring in the lungs) and may have pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs I think). She’s on oxygen right now and for a long time she was in the intensive care unit. She may have the oxygen for the rest of her life
What really worries me is her disposition. My family tends to be worriers. She really is thinking kinda negatively. She seems to expect the worst. I just don’t want her to give up. The thought of being on oxygen for the rest of her life is really getting her depressed. She is also going to need chemotherapy again. I also hope that the chemo doesn’t make her breathing worse because if it does and they have to stop giving it to her then what will keep the cancer from coming back and spreading? But anyways, she really needs some prayers. Are there any special prayers or novenas for cancer patients? Just wondering. Thanks everyone!!
