Cancer...

[amaniwolf]

There is no word i can, off hand think of that inspires fear and dread in a person then the ideal that some doctor, someday, is going to tell you, you have cancer. To think it can hit you at anytime is god awfully scary, to hear the words from your mom hits you like a truck in the gut. To have her say that she has been diagnosed with cancer is perhaps one of the worse things i have ever had to hear in my life. She spoke these words to me just a little bit ago, and to be honest, i'm kind of numb.
My mind spins with all the good times we've had, all the bad times, the fights, the joys, the lifetime together. And now....i think, is this it? Is it treatable what do we do? What can she do? She's scared, and so am i, i feel this hollow spot in the pit of my stomach and can think of nothing to say that sounds right. I know her cancer is highly treatable, but that doesn't stop the fear. I think my only option is knowledge and faith. I need to know all i can about this, so i can help her make the right decisions for her health, and i need to have faith that she'll be alright. I ask you all to look at your loved ones closely, hold them a little tighter and tell them you love them. Don't waste precious time on arguments, or foolish pride, cause you never know....
