Last Tuesday, my youngest daughter's mom found out she has cervical cancer. Last Thursday, she told me and her other two kids' fathers she has it and its pretty bad...
She's 30 years old with 4 kids...
The irony here is on April 26, a woman I loosely knew (hadn't seen her in years), died of cancer, age 37, married, also 4 kids. Then in May find out my daughter's mom has it...
She goes to the cancer center for the first time tomorrow. This is all new so we have limited info, but as she's shared so far:
•it's been growing in her body for at least 10 months;
•it's spread to other parts of her body, outside her cervix, and is still spreading, so it's too large to get surgery on;
•when she begins radiation, it should shrink the tumor to a size that will allow it to be taken out with surgery
Other than that, she doesn't have a ton of info, until probably tomorrow. The main symptoms she's noticed is just a lot if bleeding, constant fatigue. She's told her family, and she's told us (her kids' fathers) that it could potentially get bad and take her outta here...
My daughter with her is 3. Her oldest sons are 9 and 8. Her youngest son will be a year old in July...
If anyone has experience dealing intimately with cancer, please drop your knowledge for me. I'm trying to learn as much as I can, and I'm being as supportive for her as I can. I'll see her in a few days when I fly back to Raleigh...
Hopefully she beats it, but I've never been faced with a thought that my daughter's would ever be without their mother's. And that shyt is scary for me, a possible reality that I'll have to raise my youngest daughter without her mom...
And again a chick I knew just died a month ago of cancer, 37 years old...
Send a prayer up for my girl's mother please, and if you are educated on dealing with cancer or loved ones who have it, please share!
