It has been 5 weeks, since my last chemo. My hair is finally starting to grow back, very slowly, but it is coming back.

I just had the port in my chest removed, yesterday. It was going to get in the way of radiation, which I start next Monday.

On the day of my last chemo, my mom started to bleed. She went to the doctor's and just found out, she had cancer. She is going to have to have a hysterectomy at the age of 73. It is grade 1 and her prognosis looks good so far.

Never in a thousand years did I ever think I would get cancer, now my mom.

What is happening? My life has been changed forever. I pray, and I pray, and I pray, and I pray some more.

This cannot be the end for me and my mom. I know my mom is 73, but she could still be around a few more years, heck, ten more years.

This illness has stolen my life the past several months. I am going to be taking my life back, full force. My mom is not going to die, not yet. I will not allow it.
