Okay, so. We came north on Thursday because the surgeon decided to go in & biopsy the mass they found close to my Mother-in-Laws pancreas on Friday. The surgery lasted about 3 hours and we completely took over the waiting room. After the surgery, the surgeon came out to talk to the family (all 17 or so of us) and said the words we were SO hoping not to hear.
“It’s Cancer”
Silence. Then a sudden, collective intake of breath as we all realize we didn’t get the outcome we were all hoping for. As the surgeon launched into explanations about “Spiral cells” and location I glance around at family. My Sister-in-Law, my Father-in-Law, TWH, & TB. Trying to read their faces and see how they are processing everything. Then I had to call Miss A with the news. What little news I had, anyway.
We have arrived in Cancertown. We’re not unpacking. We’re not planning on staying.
Fuck Cancer.
Just Fuck It.
As you know, I was once a resident of “cancertown” and it does suck and I am so, so very sorry that your family is going through this. Hugs, hugs and more hugs..
Thanks Lady. My Mother-in-Law is in good spirits and has a TON of support. We’re lucky in that regard.
I 110% agree…Fuck cancer we don’t need that shit.
Write write write. I get strength and relief from a shared attitude on this vicious subject
I plan on it. I have to get this shit out of my head.
(((Hugs and Prayers)))
