It's
now been 20 days since her surgery and I've decided to be more open about this
new chapter in my life. I realized that
in the last couple days I’ve been reading other people's stories who are dealing
with similar situations and it has helped a little because this is all very new
to me. Just reading the progress and
improvement of others, but most importantly the success of others in their
recovery through this battle has really been comforting. So now I've decided to share my story through
my mother's journey in hopes of helping others and to bring more awareness to
ovarian cancer. Unfortunately it is such
a "silent" cancer in the sense that there are no screenings or
testing that can be done early on and most woman who are diagnosed already has
the cancer spreading. But I'll save more of my research for another day.
There
are still so many thoughts running through my mind each day, some days are
good, some days are bad, and some days I can go from good to bad in a split
second. Church has been so much help for me, I know I will always hear great
words and comforting words to help me get through this. And more than ever I know I need God to help
my mother and my family get through this journey, he is the only one that can
determine the outcome. I try not to read
too much of the statistics related to this cancer and I try not to replay those
words from the doctor “some of my patients with this cancer have been able to
live up to 10 years”. Those words were
truly a sword to my heart but I know with God’s help my mother will be able to
live a much longer life.
