I got news the other day that my Aunt who has been like my second mother all the years of growing up has cancer. She has had tumors removed from her brain and many other problems over the years. She goes in on Tues. to have both breast removed. We will find out after that if the cancer got into her lymph noyds (sp?). If not then 6 weeks of keemo (sp?) should do her good. If so then she may not have much longer.
The worse part is her 2 daughters don't ever go home to see her. They live in souther Maine and she is still back where we all grew up. She has tried to drive down to see them but has had to turn around. She shouldn't be driving any way. Neither of them have been home more then once or twice in the last 12 years or more. Between the 2 of them she has 5 grandchildren and she hardly gets to see any of them. She was upset at my mom because I made it home back in Feb. to see every one. She was only upset because she was hurt that her own kids don't every come home to visit. I guess her youngest daughter is going home to be with her after her surgery. Not sure what is going on with the other one. She did't even answer her phone because it was during dinner time and they don't talk to any one during dinner. She knew her mother was going for the results that day to. I just can't understand why they would be this way.
With all that said we are in a waiting game right now. My mom could not call me when she found out. She had my sister call me. The next day when I talked to my mom ( it is her sister who is sick ) she said she was sorry for not calling me herself. After the fact she then remember I just lost an aunt to cancer last month and one about 2 years ago. ( those were on my dads side of the family ).
Sorry so drawn out. It just bugs me so bad that her kids are not there. Atleast she has my mom and my step mom and my aunt have been friends for years and my step mom went through all this about 12 years or so ago. So she has some one to talk to who knows exactly what she is going through.
I am just hoping and praying that after Tuesday they don't find anything else.
Thank you for reading. Getting it out helps alot.
