There are no words in times like these. This is a road we all must travel and losing a parent is never easy, whether you are prepared for it or not. I hope your knowing that we love and care about you is enough to help sustain you at this time. Allow yourself to feel what you feel, Charles. Don't fight the highs and lows of it all. Stick tight to friends and family for support when the weight becomes unbearable. We love you and you know where to find us. I wish for your inner peace, my friend. My prayers go out to you and yours.

Man, that sucks, there's nothing I can say to make it better so I won't. Just make sure your mom put's up a hell of a fight to the very end.
I've never smoked or been offered a cigarette and not inclined to take it up anytime soon, although my mum briefly smoked but quit not long after I was born. I can't imagine what you're going through.

Well... I've just smoked my last cigarette ever.

Thanks for the support, folks. Appreciate it lots.

Good man. We can be cold turkey together. I'll be up for about 48 smokeless hours at 6pm tonight. It's rather annoying, but it's doable, I'm finding. And all things are habit. I shall fall out of the habit of wanting one in a couple of days, I know.

As a reward for my non-bendingness under nicotine pressure, (and the fact that I just had a really good appraisal at work) I'm treating myself to a pub lunch. If you were here, I'd treat you to a pub lunch too, but you'll just have to take a rain check until I'm oop North again.

Well, I am going for pints at lunch, so you can treat me in spirit.

I've quit before, and know how much it sucks, but I think I can do it again.

I'll hoist one here in Orlando for you, Fett.

I remember when my mom was getting the lump in her neck checked, I was afraid I'd be getting the news you got. Knowing how crazed I was then, I can only imagine what you're going through right now.

Lean on us, my friend.

I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I lost two uncles and my grandma to smoking. What's important now is to be by your mom's side and be with her as much as possible in this time that she needs you most.

Fett, I can only hope that my words are soothing the pain that you are going through, man. Take heart that you are in many of us chewers' prayers, and both you and your mom are in mine as well. Take each day one at a time, and keep your chin up. We'll be right behind you when you need comfort and strength.

God bless you both.

Dude, this is sad news, but you must not let it stop you from living your life.

I am probably repeating what a dozen other posters have said, but its worth repeating.

Spend every moment you can with your mum. Make sure she knows what she means to you. Hopefully this won't have the result you fear it will, but in case it does make sure there are no regrets.

I don't know how many times I have heard in my own family, "If only I had just said..." SAY IT! Don't wait. Don't put it off till tomorow. Do it NOW! And like Nick said, fuck work. Nothing else matters but your mum and your well-being. Be cool and I seriously hope this has a happy ending.

I won't say "feel better" because who can feel better about this sort of thing? I mearly hope you can remain strong in the face of such adversity.
