So as most of you know I am full on on my lifes new direction and then this weekend hits.
To be honest I am not the most Spiritual guy, I tried not to ask much from God throughout my life in the belief that I can do it myself, God has his own problems to deal with but man give me a sign will ya
My mom had two sisters, her next youngest sister died to Breast Cancer 10 or 15 years ago, she put up a heck of a fight but Cancer took her.
So a couple weeks ago I find out that my other Aunt has Lung Cancer, shes not my Aunt to me since my Moms family came from Iowa and was a big Farming family my Aunt is less then 10 years older then I am so in actuality she is my older sister and me being the oldest child in my family she was a huge part of my life as I grew up.
My Mom is a three time Cancer Survivor, Breast cancer twice and Ovarian cancer most recently, she is the definition of Strength and love to me.
Thursday I found out that my Aunt's Cancer is untreatable, the aggressive treatment she would have to go through would only have a detrimental affect on the remaining life she has left and therefore the recommendation is to not do anything and giver her the chance to live her remaining life as best she can, now the tough part, 2 weeks to 3 months.
Saturday, With her history with Cancer and her sisters situation my mom felt it was a good idea to go see her Cancer Doctor, her Doctor Immediately took her to MRI for a full body scan, you guessed it a mass in her lung, Biopsy scheduled this coming week.
When I got the call about my mom I was numb to it, I have seen the chemo and radiation tear my moms brain power and body structure down to a frail woman who can't remember things sometimes. My Grandmother is likely to survive her three daughters, her battle with (advanced)Alzheimers is likely to make it easier for her but I have to wonder at this point am I going loose my Grandmother, Mom and Older sister this year.
I don't know why I am posting this, maybe using the internet to get this off my shoulders, I'm going to church tomorrow with my wife, hopefully for some relief. I worked my tail off yesterday, digging holes for new trees, helped my wife in her garden and had a couple beers to knock the edge off, I don't remember going to bed last night LOL I think I was asleep before my head hit the pillow.
