just wanted to say hello to everyone.. i have not posted in a few days.. and over the last few weeks not much either..
my mother was diagnosed with inflammitory breast cancer 3 weeks ago.. this is a rare form of cancer that out of the millions of cases diagnosed every year..4% have it.. totally blew my mind.. hell the doctors where treating her for months for dermatologistic problems before they figured out what it was... needless to say last week there was many family bonding moments.. and she started chemo therapy last week,, before that a one day surgery to install a port in her chest for the chemo administation.... was not around to much to help with things here.. .. well this week she is feeling pretty good.. the first bone scan came back good.. which means that it has not spread into her bones yet... ( the cancer she has is not a tumor type cancer.. it infects the cells... so it easily can spread thru the rest of the body.. ) today was good news.. very good..
over the next few months she will be going for chemo(very high dose) every 3 weeks.. so for a a few days will not be around when this happens.. which i am sure you can understand.. it is hard on my father and teenage brother to deal with everything..
this is the course of things to come.. 4 months of chemo.. mastectomy.. atleast one.. maybe both.. the radiation treatment.. then possibly more chemo..then hormone therapy (that one i can help her out with. <!--emo&--><img src="http://musclechemistry.mantisforums.com/IB3/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''><!--endemo--> ) ..
so if periodically i disappear for a few days.. or have a late night drunken post here of there.. i hope you all understand why..
see for me.. my mom is a great woman.. hell she put up with my shit for all these years.. <!--emo&--><img src="http://musclechemistry.mantisforums.com/IB3/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''><!--endemo--> ... so i must be there for her and the rest of the family as much as i can... and if god forebid anything happend to her.. i can not deal with the thought of not being there for whatever i can .. with her..
got to give the woman a world of praise... she jokes about loosing her hair.. the new boobs she'll get.. the drugs they are going to give her.. .. i hope that if that ever happens to me some day that i have the same courage and attitude that she has...
despite all this i will make efforts to be here as much as possible... just give me a day or 2 <!--emo&--><img src="http://musclechemistry.mantisforums.com/IB3/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''><!--endemo--> and for any post last week.. hell i was in no thinking mood to respond to anything.. with a some what intelligent answer..
hope you all understand.. thanks ..
