How can I help my neighbor who has a colon cancer?

[Anonymous]

She has colon cancer and bedridden. The tumor popped inside the stomach and she's very weak. she's so sweet to me and always greet anyone. she's very friendly person and not rude to anyone. always smiles and generous to people. Im just sad because when we visited her she's so thin and bedridden like she doesn't deserve it. The doctor said its too late for her to do surgery I think the disease is grave now. Im also broke but I always think of her as an old woman who is nice to her friends. I grew up buying her food she sells food in front of her house. Im just sad because I don't know if I can still see her in that kind of situation healthy, happy. As a broke person how can I help her?

you very sweet, kind hearted person. I was going to say, just be there for her, especially if she has noone. that's worth more than stuff she cannot have.

how old was she?

Goes to show kindness goes around. You can't keep people alive forever, but you can make a difference in their lives today. If not hers, than others.

I wish you a long healthy life with love and support.

I went through stuff like that with parents.

She was 60. I guess I just remember her as an old neighbor who always cares. And I will miss her food merchant. she's very happy person always smile sometimes you never know if a person is struggling inside.
Thank you :')

Yeah me and my mom visited her yesterday and I said to myself like what if this is the last time that I will see her? What if there's little time left?

You are a sweet person and will be remembered for giving your friend her last precious moments, and you have my deepest sympathy on your loss, she's in Heaven in the arms of Our Dear Heavenly Father in Heaven think of the memories you both shared over the years. (((Hugs)))

What? Nothing from Brad? Why is this woman not in hospice in her last days, so she can be cared for properly? 😟 Also, take a pastor to her for comfort and that can assure her that she can be going to Heaven when she dies. That alone can give comfort to anyone dying.

The doctor said her condition is very grave meaning its too late for a surgery because her tumors popped already in her colon if she will get a surgery she will die because she is too weak. Its so sad

I didn't say hospital, I said "hospice", which is where people who are dying go. At some point, it may not be possible to cure a serious illness, or a patient may choose not to undergo certain treatments. Hospice is designed for this situation. The patient beginning hospice care understands that his or her illness is not responding to medical attempts to cure it or to slow the disease's progress.

Hospice provides comprehensive comfort care as well as support for the family, but, in hospice, attempts to cure the person's illness are stopped. Hospice is provided for a person with a terminal illness whose doctor believes he or she has six months or less to live if the illness runs its natural course.

You can help her around the house, ask her what chores need to get done that she could use help with. A lot of people will create volunteer efforts for those with cancer, and maybe bring by something nice to drink as I’m sure she won’t have much of an appetite but you can at least help her stay a bit more hydrated

[HelpfulWoman]

be there for her. visit. help keep her comfortable. talk with her and remember she's a human being rather than "dying patient".

[Iron_Man]

is she in the hospital full-time visit her all the time and pray with her. Are you allowed to take her to stroll around the hospital into the cafeteria

Maybe the lord has decided this world does not deserve such a kind soul and has invited her back

His Word says that 'By His stripes we are all healed' and He never changes either! The Doctors ignore it as do most. His Word says that all sickness and infirmities were taken by Jesus on the cross over 2000 years ago. But receiving that healing takes learning and effort because our flesh is not saved, only our Spirit is when we believe. Thus we need to learn how to pull healing from the born again spirit into the flesh.

Intercessory prayer and the laying of hands are the best things a person can do for that lady. But the Doctors are busy just waiting for her to die.

@Truthatanycost what’s your religion?

[Truthatanycost]

@Iron_Man I am Christian and I've seen healing miracles through emulating what Jesus did in the Bible.

Just be with her.
