Here is my mother's Story, Please note that this way happing at the time,If there is any qucation I'll be happy
to answer them through a pm. I put this on there hoping someone would understand why my mother's death is so hard for me.
Here is her story.

Mom's story begains in the mid 1980's ,Mom went to the doctor for regular
check ups but it was more then that.Mom found a lump in one of her breast,So
the doctor sent her for tests , The tests came back with something on her
mammogram.The doctor called her back in . to find out what it was they were
not shure what is was so mom went Buffalo to Roswellpark for a second opinion
to see what they thought it was. Mom had a biopsy done .The pathologist
report came back as postive for cancer. Mom under went mastectomy . Her
recovery was long. I was in 8 th grade when all this started it was hard to
take care of mom and go to school too.In 1991 I was in high school by this
time . Mom went for regular check ups . This time the mammogram didn't show
anything ,The doctor had felt something in her other breast . Mom went for
more tests back to Roswell and another biopsy , We wait again to see what
this one is. Shure enough it was back , The cancer had back a second time.
We all thought here cancer we gone again. Mom had a nothet mastectomy . The
road to recovery was harder this time then the first time. I was in high
school and working and taking care of mom all at the sametime . I helped mom
through the recovery and rehab. I n the mid 1990's mom went for her routine
pap tests came back . They found pilpes, She wnt back to Roswell
for a 3rd. time. Roswell said that mom's pilpes had more then a 50%
chance to turn into cancer . Mom under went surgary she spent 5 days in
Buffalo. She came home from the surgary. Mom needed alot of help on her
recovery . Her needs were from bathing to getting dressed. At one point
mom's insions had drained to a point I had to but a other dressing on it.
She went to the doctor and the doctor had to ask her who put the dressing on
her. Mom said her youngest daughter did. The doctor couldn't beleve it , He
said what a good job I did. I was in my nurses aide couse at this time.It
took her more then 6 months to heal from this.We thought this was the end of
of mom's cancer.
From 1996- 2003 Mom was cancer free.Everything was going good for her
with no signs of cancer.Then in October 17
2003 . Mom call calls me to tell meThat the cancer had come back . I didn't
know what to say at this point except that we would go through this
together.Mom cancer had come back but had spread to the lungs, Which we were
dealing with lung cancer On Dec. 20 mom has a port put in ,We new by this
time she would start chemo .She started chemo right after x-mas. I was with
here through all the chemo's. . Mom went through 8 differnt chemo's nothing
was working to shink the tumors .In
July of this 2004 The doctor told her they wanted to try radition to
try to shrink her tumors. Mom started radition for 6 weeks she went through
radition . It had shurnk the tumors in half. Mom has 4 tumors in the left
and 1 tumor in the right lung.
The doctors told us that they could not cure mom's cancer but they can
controll it. Through all this I have been with her every
step of the way. I have been mom's caregiver right from the start. When I
learned about my mom's cancer I couldn't beleve it
could happen to us. Cancer has had a inpacked are lives. On aug 17, 2002 I
lost my grandfather to lung cancer. Through all this I have been caring for
them . I have learned that caring is a big part in all this. Knowing that
your doing somthing for someone else is rewarding enough . This this my
mom's story .

I was told my mother cancer had moved more then they thought. The cancer is taking over my mother's body and mind .I was told my mother is dying .I don't know much time she has.Now they are doing more radition just to make her more comfortable. There is nothing more they can do to save my mother.Cancer is taking one more person.My mother fought with all might and cancer is to strong to anymore.It is a matter of time befor the lord takes my mother. Ijust hope she doesn't suffer, I want it to be quick so my mother doesn't suffer.
