Alsgalpal Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Growing up, my mom has fought and battled cancer and kicked its ass. She was pregnant with my baby brother when she had premature labor at 6 months and he died. They did discovery work on her to find out why she went into spontaneous labor like that, and found cancer all through out her reproductive tract. He had a complete hysterectomy and removal of her ovaries at the age of 22. I was 5 years old. I remember how sick she was... I was a scared little girl. She went through the change of life at 22 years of age. She went through chemo and radiation. She was so sick. Now, after repairing our relationship 16 years ago and not living close to her, We are a familiy again. I let her make up for the mistakes she made (she's the one that feels like she has too, I have forgiven her completely.) with my girls. She's such a great grammy. I'm proud of her. I know without the drugs and alcohol addictions she would have been a great mother. She was a great mother in her sober days with me. I love my momma. I got a text here at work. She just found out she has colon cancer through a colonoscopy. I can't take much more of this, and I know that sounds selfish, but I'm at the end of my rope. My boyfriend doesn't want me. My kids dad is trying to weasel them away from me. My momma just found out she's type 2 diabetic and now colon cancer. She found all this stuff out in a weeks time. The girls don't know, so I've kept it off of Facebook. I wish I could just call E and feel his strong arms around me. I'm so scared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobo73 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Alsgalpal, I'm so so sorry......I can't even imagine. I've felt crushing depression when people I barely even know have gotten cancer......I can't imagine.If you ever need to talk, I'm just a PM away, girl. Life's not fair and bad things happen to good people. Your mom is very lucky to have a daughter like you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aikenrooster Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Sorry to hear of this. Hopefully, science can cure her. My mom has had cancer 3 times, and beat it, so there is a chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya_Big_Tree Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 :( I'm sorry about your mom Kris. She sounds like a strong woman like yourself I'm sure she will continue to put up a fight especially with you there in her corner. As for everything else going on in your life right now, I'm sorry you are dealing with that too. Remember you are a strong woman who has stared death in the face and laughed and you will get through this as well. From both of us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slack jaw gaze Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 My Dad has had a colostomy bag for about 10 years after cancer surgery. He's led a normal life, and it's only after reminders like this that I even remember it. It's very fixable if it is discovered in time. Best of luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
