Personal thoughts
I hadn't really mentioned this to anyone yet. I guess I needed time to digest the news myself.
There's alot of info, that's kind of sad to follow.
My mom is very sick, back in early November she was diagnosed with cancer.
She has a massive tumor in her bladder, which they are going to remove Jan 9th.
Then they are going to preform a scope to see how far it's spread.
Sadly they know she's has this for awhile. If it's spread to her lymph nodes, or her bones...well this might well be our last Christmas.
We haven't talked to much about anything. We're both very worried, but agreed that we wanted to take this time and enjoy the holidays. So no negative talk.
Also she's very much in denial. It came as a huge shock to her, because before my nannie died of Brest Cancer no one in the family had ever been diagnosed.
Now both she and my aunt have been diagnosed. My aunt has thyroid cancer, however they removed her thyroid. And it hadn't spread.
Some days I just can't believe it. It seems so very surreal to think I might lose her.
I try to keep positive, my mom is a fighter and she's prepared to fight.
However people with Ehlers Danlos syndrome vascular type are poor candidates for cancer treatments and surgeries.
Already she has to have the tumor removed while she is still awake, with a nerve bypass. They're concerned if they put her to sleep, she won't come to.
Trying to stay on the positive is hard right now. But I can do it for her, because I love to see my mom smile when I make her laugh.
