My mom texted me yesterday morning to tell me she has cancer.
Yep texted.
I dont remember the kind she said.
She has to do some chemo then surgery and they say she should be fine. I asked how do they ensure checks to make sure it dosent spread. After all my friend died of cancer not that long ago. It starte din her appendix and spread to her uterus then to her intestines before she died. And my moms best friend was dxed with cancer several years ago. I dont remember where and they keep finding legions in random places. Most recently her brain. She wants my mom to take her granddaughter shes been raising.
And now my mom has cancer.
I was asking questions and shes like I dont know. I didnt think to ask that... I told her to write them down and ask her doctor. She said she wont remember the list... Sigh....
When my boss asks about my radical acceptance... I can explain now its a learned behavior. Moms approach is welp. Sometimes going to kill me, Maybe its this, maybe its not. Ill do the chemo, do the surgery and see after that.
I havent told the kids yet. I dont really know what I want to say about it. Dont want to tell them after because like oh yeah grammy had cancer but shes fine now. Or grammy has cancer and shes getting treated for it? I get that they arent LITTLE LITTLE but still.
