Because I've been spending 4-8 hours everyday, along with working full time, for a test coming up in two weeks and because after 23 years and 327 days of getting through life without a single family member or close friend dying, fighting off disease, going to jail for a significant amount of time, committing adultery, or any other type of thing that could knock down my spirits (I'd been pretty lucky), I found out that my mom had cancer, three days later found out it was further along than we'd hoped, three days after that found out the news was not good and was infecting multiple organs, and just 6 days after that (this morning) found out it is very unlikely that she will still be with us 3-5 years down the road. Probably the single worst way to end my long string of good fortune.
just seeing this thread back in the rotation made me sigh.

The reason I have not been able to do the links is because my daughter had cancer surgery and I have been pretty busy caring for her and with doctor appointments etc. The links just take so much time that I didn't have time to keep up with them with everything else going on. The good news is that the doctor found it early and is pretty sure they were able to get all of it out. She still has a couple more follow up appointments and a few more tests but we are very thankful that at this point it appears that they were able to get it all and that she will be ok.
Excellent news FL...Did they find it pretty early?
Cancer is a horrible thing! My son has been battling cancer for almost a year now. He's had a recent relaspe on the brain and on the spinal column. I'd really appreciate your prayers. www.caringbridge.org/visit/cartercummingsThanks. Rev. Cummings
