The "C" Word.

Cancer. I hate the word. I hate everything about it. I hate how this one word has destroyed so many lives and families. I hate that it has and is effecting my family. We learned yesterday that my mom has skin cancer. The good news is it's the Basil Cell (sp?) it's supposed to be a good thing if you have it because it's the easiest to get rid of. I don't care it's still cancer. UGH!

My dad had cancer when i was younger, Lymphoma, it was on his jaw. The tumor he had was as big as a lemon and he had to have radiation therapy after they took it out. I remember watching my dad, the strongest, most amazing man go through the radiation and it was horrible. I remember that he had to eat baby food because the radiation had burned the inside of his mouth so much that it hurt to eat anything else. He also lived off of pop-sicles. Cancer did this to him. It wasn't easy on any of us but we got through it as a family and a strong family we are! :) I love my dad he is an amazing man! :)

Now for my mom's cancer it will be different. She will have it burned off and that will be the end of it Thank the Lord. But it will scar and it's in a place that people will be able to see so i think that bothers her the most. :( My mom is an amazing woman, she is my best friend, i know we had our ups and downs through teenage years but i think that just made us closer in a way.. She has always been my number one fan and she has always been there for me in support and encouragement. am a very lucky girl to have been blessed with two parents who gave me everything i ever asked for and then some. I know that i haven't been the perfect daughter and yet they love me anyway. Not alot of people can say that they have two loving parents and i am so glad that i can. So this skin cancer that my mom has cannot bring us down we will fight it as a family and she will be ok! :) Please pray for my family as we go through this time, its not easy but God will get us through it!
