Mrs Mungo Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 My MIL just found out she has kidney cancer. She is having surgery at the beginning of April. We just moved here (Hawaii), hubby will be out of the country in April and there's no way we can pick up and go home again (we were just at her home in Arkansas/my family's in Oklahoma for Christmas). But I'd still like to find some way to help her out some. I would look into a meal service but she lives in the sticks. Is there one available through mail-order (she's also diabetic)? What else could I do for her? Any ideas? Quote
Mrs Mungo Posted March 12, 2008 Author Posted March 12, 2008 Thank you so much for the helpful suggestions and the thoughts and prayers. I appreciate it. Quote
Friederike in Persia Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Sorry to hear about your MIL. My dad got diagnosed with cancer a month ago and we're rather far away as well (he's in Germany, we're in Tajikistan). As already mentioned, lots of phone calls seem to help both sides. This is a bit further down the road, but a friend of ours suggested to send flowers each time the patient goes in for chemo, since those are the really tough times. If she prefers books, that might work better. God (who's still in control!) bless, Friederike in Persia Quote
