Now ususally I think forums are to impersonal for me to post my problems here, but this is one of the most serious instances.

One of my mom's best friends Rubina (her family is very close to our family) was diagnosed with breast cancer a little over a year ago. She was taking Radiation Therapy, and a couple of months ago, she was looking fine.

Recently though, her cancer has taken a turn for the worst. She had to stop the Radiation Therapy because her body couldn't take it. So the doctors told her that she was going to resume the treatment after she had regained her strength. Last night though, my parents had to take rush her to the hospital because she wasn't feeling well, and the doctors have said she doesn't have much time left because the cancer has progressed to far. They said timeline wise, maybe a couple of weeks, or a couple of days.

Now I'm a believer in miracles, so I would appreciate it if people can put her in there prayers. Because I would hate to see her children (2 kids, a girl in grade 4 and a boy who is 5) go through life without a mother.

I like to thank everyone who posted, and to Mach for pming me. I told my parents about the method in that documentary. Hopefully it isn't to late though.

I couldn't help but starting to tear up when I saw my mom crying a couple of hours ago. Hell, I'm tearing up posting this right now.

I hope for the best for her and her family.

I always feel strange adding support to these threads. I'm not religious so I don't really pray.....

But still, hopefully she'll pull through this.

I don't lend prayers. I don't expect them back.

I give prayers. Which is what I'm gonna do.

Thanks everyone.

I saw her yesterday, and she seemed in pain.

She was asleep though, so I didn't get to talk to her, but just seeing her like that was heartwrenching.

I appreciate all the support.

Once again thank you everyone for your support...

I just got news that she passed away in her sleep. I am about to go out to see her children and her husband right now to see how they are doing. Thank you for the prayers, I'm guessing it just wasn't meant to be.

Perhaps, but maybe everyone's prayers helped her pass on in a more peaceful fashion.

I give my condolences to her family and your family.

Thank you everyone.

The burrial and funeral were both today, and we are holding a prayer session tomorrow.

The kids seem alright. Her husband and my mom are taking it the hardest. My mom suffered an anxiety attack earlier today because her blood sugar was to low. She is fine now tho.

I felt so sorry for her kids all the way thru the day because the youngest one didn't seem to grasp what was going on. Like he knew her mom was going to be burried, but he seemed more curious rather than sad. I can't imagine how he will feel when he has to come face that facts that his mom is not comming back. The older one was aware, but she didn't cry.... I could tell she wanted to tho.

I guess now everyone has to go through the healing process. Thank you for your prayers, and HPK, yeah, I guess her soul had an easier passing to heaven because of the prayers everyone here gave.

Even though she's passed on, I'll still pray for her and her family and your mom, too.

Sometimes life is really harsh.
