Please

To the daughter,

Please listen to your mother. She has made an informed decision. She has weighed up the benefits against the negative side effects. She has made a choice she can live with. Please remember that she loves you dearly but this is her body and her decision. Please don't be so angry with her that is permeates the air and your whole being. Please turn your IPod off when the nurse is trying to discuss your Mother's chemotherapy treatment with you both (come on your in your 30's now, it's time to grow up a bit). If you can't handle the environment and the treatment please walk out. Please don't stare daggers at your Mother when she is having her first treatment instead please see her bravery and her need for you just to hold her hand and just be with her. Please see that not everyone can base their faith in herbs and alternative medicine. Please, we understand that you don't agree with chemotherapy but please try and see we are trying to slow down the proliferation of your Mother's cancer and control your Mother's symptoms. Please see that our motive is not to harm your Mother but to help her. Please don't spend the limited time you have left with your Mother wrapped up with anger against her. Please be angry with the cancer - not your Mother.
