Cancer

November 27th, 2006 at 8:38 pm

As you may have been able to tell from my moblog entries of late, Glenna and I have recently been traveling. My mom has been diagnosed with cancer which, from what we know after multiple MRIs and the like, has spread all over her body (lungs, chest, even brain - possibly elsewhere). When we found out, we flew up here as soon as we could.

We hope for the best - and the doctors are thus far still trying - but as you can imagine this has weighed heavily on my mind in recent days. My mom and I are very close.

Anyhow, Glenna had to fly back home already (she didn’t have much vacation time saved up) but I’m still here until the end of this week. I’m not really sure if this will result in less or more weblog activity from me in the coming weeks and months - though whatever I do, I don’t think I’ll be posting about this particular topic very often - but figured it warranted a mention.

I’m really sorry to hear that Jeff. Cancer recently reared it’s ugly head in my life as well and, though nobody can say they know what you are going through, I know how difficult it was on my family. I hope everything turns out as well as possible. Keep us posted.

That’s horrible news. Sorry to hear. :(


I’m sorry I haven’t called. I didn’t want to bother your mom if she was resting. If she needs anything, let her know to give me a call, anytime. You have my cell number to give her, right?

I remember when my grandfather was diagnosed with cancer, he was my bestfriend and there for me through out everything… it was an incredibly hard battle that he fought for years… No one knows how your mothers battle will end up… I am not going to lie and say it will be easy… but remember that you are surrounded by people that love you… and stay strong.
