Cancer Sucks!
Not very long ago, my Mom was told she has breast cancer. It was caught in the early stage and she has been in to get it removed. Now she is about to start treatment.
Now, I know to be positive and I know that she is going to be totally cool. I am so thankful for that , I can't even begin to tell you. But I think this needs to be said...CANCER SUCKS! The thought that one day you wake up and you are sick just SUCKS.
Now we have moved forward and things are more even now (what I mean by that is we understand more of what is going on than when she started this journey), I need to let you know that the waiting game - the time between the first time they tell you they found something and then to the point you have to get it out of your body - is probably one of the scariest things I have ever done. It wasn't even happening to my body and I thought every day I was going to be sick just by the not knowing. I have never told my Mom this because I didn't want to worry her. During all this, she became this strength and vision of calm...she became everyone else's rock. I cried and she comforted me when we found out.
She is healing from her surgery and she will start her next phase soon. We know that she is lucky, and so am I. I feel so blessed and thankful to God for being with her and carrying her because she is my best friend in the entire world...the only person I can make laugh with my silly jokes.
So, if you have been putting off going to the doc to get your breast check, DON'T! There are too many people in the world that love you and need you.

Cancer does SUCK! Being a sponsor of Relay for Life...I have met and heard numerous stories from Cancer SURVIVORS and it amazes me how GOD works!! He is truly faithful and amazing! During the next days/weeks, her treatment will be tough...but please just remember to hold her, love her, cry with her, and yes, laugh with her.
Myself and my family will keep you, your mom, & your families in our prayers!
