Three days ago I was told my Mum has terminal Cancer .
She has been quite sick since August and has struggled to be diagnosed and treated. We are all shocked , stunned , reeling over the huge loss my family is preparing for.
She started her first Chemo treatment this a.m. and will have a number more rounds in addition to having to endure rounds of radiation all this in the hopes of gaining possibly a year and a half with her family and peeps. She is in amazing spirit and very grounded as well as very focused on completing the rest of this lifes journey with dignity and grace.
And true to form she is in fine and rather cheeky humour ,already finding ways to get all manner of treats out of this ;-)
I want you all to know that I am fine. Truly I am .
Obviously I feel like my heart has been ripped out and I have that gutted hollowness in my core . But I know that this is all part of lifes cycle and our destiny .
There are so many things I want to say about my Mum but I have been struggling to make even this much of a post for days now. So instead I'll re-post something I wrote about my life as Her daughter and the woman I am proud to call my mother .

I do want to ask you all if it's at all possible would you send some energy , prayers , ju-ju ( do a jig or ) whatever is comfortable for you to my family and of course to Dotti ( La Mum )? She knows all about my lj monkeys and has been very moved by the good wishes and energies ya'll have sent out for our family in the past . St Mary's Hospital where she is being treated has an awesome service for patients to recieve e-mails during their stay so if you are at all inclined to share a joke or well wish with her she would be delighted and shocked , and I will make sure I reward you for being good doobies ! Here's the linky http://www.stmarysmaine.com/other_health/inpatient/email.html and her info ;

room number ~ 350
I have no idea what else to say just now..
but I'll be back with my usual janked up-type posts soon until then
Be Well my loverlies ~
