Last year my mom was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer and it was extremely difficult for our family. When I heard the C word I thought I was losing my mom, but her team of doctors reassured us that it would be okay. It was still hard to watch my mom go through chemo and radiation and see her in pain day in and day out. She completed chemotherapy, but did not get better. Her symptoms got worse and she became bedridden and depressed. Last week we took her to the ER only to find out that there are new complications with her colon and the area in which she had radiation. The doctors are not hopeful and said this isn't looking too good for her. I'm so afraid of losing my mom, my rock, and my bestfriend. The house is quiet and my dad and I are trying to manage, but it's becoming more and more difficult each day. Please keep my mom in your prayers and even 1 donation would be greatly appreciated and will go towards her medical bills and surgery. Thank you if you've read this far. May we give my mom the strength to keep fighting. -Her daughter, Raven
