Please once again excuse us for being away. As we prepared to write our new funny blog: on the same day my mother had a cat scan because she though she might have IBS, and we ran home laughing. The cat scan was perfection. all worry gone. Now we are here 2 months later and the new cat scan shows an evil creature called cancer dancing and flicking his magic wand on my Mothers clean body and organ's. It started in the uterus and made it's way to the cervix and made a polyp. A deadly polyp.
Taking it off, the cancer creature got mad and raged his evil all over my Mother's body. He was fast and he was swift and clever, he grew tumors that grew into tumors like a mushroom field. An emergency hysterectmy began and we removed all tumors and all female parts :by one of the best female Dr.s in America, 40 min from us in Gainsville Florida. She is an oncologist, gynecologist, and surgeon. After the miserable 5 day hospital stay we left to go home to await the pathology report to see where else the ugly creature is doing or touched or if he is dead. We go today to find the results. We also await chemotherapy. I hear to many stories to know what to expect from this. My Mother is a strong woman in someways, but this is not the area where my Mom can stand up and fight. Her fear takes over. I pray to let me have it. I could kill it.
I have never realy had female friends, they never realy liked me. I had alot of male friends. So my Mother is my best friend.
I talk to her 5 times a day and stay with her 10 nights a month with her and my Father who I am not close to at all. I say this with respect, it's just a different time now than his used to be. We are both so head strong. I keep thinking if she does die what I willI do? Who will call me? WHo will I call? Christmas? Our Shopping. Our hundreds of hundreds of laughs. I dont know if I could take it. Does it get better? Will I be filled with this horrific painful sadness forever? My Father would be forever so lonely, because he does love her deeply. My 17 year old son who is very VERY close to his Grami, all their love of things they share in their hobbies. They are both so alike, it's amazing. The two intellects reading away and then discussing them for hours while I fall asleep on the sofa. You never think it will happen to you. Find the right Dr.s..my Mom's Dr.'s just said IBS IBS IBS...with zero tests until we demanded one. Is she dies, they killed my Mother. Dr. Ripley we found is amazing and I thank God every day we found her.
When I stayed at the hospital those 5 nights I watched everything and every day mistakes were made and 1-2 deadly ones. You have to be there and question them and make sure they are doing their job right. Who cares if they get irratated IT's THEIR JOB. They have to be watched at all times. My grandmothers recovery center made TWO deadly mistakes on her. It also has happened to me as well. They gave me a deadly medicine when I was in the hospital for a staff infection they gave me after a breast surgery. Just be careful and I will pray for you and please pray for Jane D Young.
Talk with you all soon. Remember if anything weird happens never brush it aside and say oh well just a weird period, always checxk it out. Like I said, Cancer is fast and swift. Excuse me for all the typo's. To tired to re-check




















prayers are with you all...
