My mother was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer late last night, after she was admitted to the hospital around 5 pm Mountain time. My sister called around 7:30 with the grave news that mom's cancer was spreading and she had cracked her back during a fall from a dizzy spell, caused by her pain meds.
The cancer was first discovered around March of this year and removed shortly after. The tumor reappeared from where it was removed and the cancer had spread to her abdominal area. In June she had extensive surgery to remove the cancerous area, including her bladder. Just last week, my dad told me she was about to start chemotherapy, but my feelings were that the doctors had already waited too long. I just don't understand what was going on with these doctors.
I'm heading home to Montana, on a 6:15 flight out of DFW. I've slept maybe 15 minutes and decided it was best to just get up, because the constant wave of emotions makes it too difficult to sleep.
I envy those that live near their loved ones, because they get to cherish every moment of their lives. Don't take it for granted, because before you know it, they're gone. I just wish I had visited home more often than I have, to enjoy what little time life brings us with our loved ones.
