life's a bitch and then you die

Oh, how you like to throw curve balls at me you ass.

Work is practically non-existant right now. I can't focus. I can't focus on anything really.

My wonderful mother decided to call me last night - in the middle of the college radio show I co-present - and inform me none too kindly that my gran [my only living gran] has breast cancer.
Thank you very much.

The rest of the show was a nightmare since I got hardly any information from my mother and I really didn't know what to think.
After calling my gran and talking with her I've discovered that they located a lump on her breast during a body scan. They're unsure if they caught the cancer in time but there will be a consultation on Friday to decided when the breast will be removed. And then Chemotherapy.

So I've taken some time from work. And I've taken some time from college and I've called my uncle and he's flying over because really, my dad can't get time off work and my mum's already working overtime to cover other people at her work. Right now nothing is really helping.

My other gran died 30 years ago from breast cancer, and in the end, it was the chemotherapy that got to her.
Fuck do I hate the cosmic 'HA' that comes my way. This is why karma sucks.

real life, hurt, family, zomg-bad!
