my mother surviving breast cancer

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I am new to the group. My mother and grandmother where both diagnosed with

breast

cancer two years ago. My grandma's came back and my mothers didn't. My problem

that I

am trying to handle is dealing with my mom's side effects. Before she was

diagnosed with

cancer she found out she was diabetic. So she is dealing with the side effects

of chemo

and the side effects of the diabete's. She now suffers from neuropothy in her

feet. She is

over weight and does not exercise. She claims that she get's exercise at work.

She is a

occupational therapist at a nursing home. I get so frustrated that everytime I

mention

exercise to my mom she gives me and i hate saying this word, excuses as to why

she can't

do exercise. When she was going through chemo I just gave birth to first child.

I guess

that I feel horrible for getting so mad at my mom for not trying or making the

steps

needed to lose some of the weight. I am so close with my mother. She is like my

best

friend. Any advise? How long does the side effects of chemo last it has been

nearly two

years. What can I do to get her motivated? Should I feel so bad for getting mad

ad her?

How do I say something to her?
