I wish I could sit here and make something up to make everyone feel sorry for her, I wish what she has gone through was just a made up lie, but it's not. Her cancer isnt something new.. It's been there for so many years that we could lose count. Starting with thyroid cancer 2002 I think, I was too young to remember this one. The only memory I have is seeing her w tubes coming out of her whole body. To breast cancer in 2007, this one I do remember a little clearer because she had chemo and radiation and she was the same sweet bald mother I loved dearly. She actually had gotten a Breast augmentation this time in hopes to remove the cancer entirely . As God heard our prayers we successfully got rid of the cancer and began the reconstruction of her body as well as her dignity. Try going without breast and hair and still feel beautiful . I don't know how she did it but she did... That's my mother for you.. Years later she went a whole month with a cracked tail bone come to find out it had come back and was found not only in her breast but in her bones . The cancer was spreading and fast . They diagnosed her with stage 4 bone cancer. 4. That's the last stage. End of the road. No going back. No radiation or chemo or surgery can ever take the cancer away. But 27 plus surgerys 4 different cancers and we still have an amazing loving mother fighting for her life , in all honesty I think she's fighting for my sisters and I and her grandchildren. She refuses to leave and it breaks my heart to be so selfish and want to keep her here because she is hurting in ways she can't explain.. But she is the strongest woman I know and deserves more then we could ever offer her. I truly wish I could help her more in her financial situation . because it's not bad enough to be sick and not be able to work, but she has to drown in debt from hospitals. And so I ask you from the bottom of my heart please help me help her. We aren't asking the thousands of dollars it says. The only goal here is to relieve her of one less thing to worry about. She deserves that and more.
