Why do I think that my life is about to become semi-normal? God does not play that game! I say this in pleasant jest, of course.
I'm with Mom on this one. It is very daunting. And to think, years ago cancer was the hush-hush "C" word. The one people feared. The one people did not want to hear uttered to them. It's funny how time changes so rapidly.
Up next: my aunt and cousin. Yay, just keep piling 'em on! Let's see how many family members we can draw into the cancer team. Round 'em up!
I'm getting sick of this. Really, I am. Familial papillary carcinoma cluster? Jeez, why don't you just nuke us with radiation? May as well! I mean, we get it. It's in our family. Do they really have to keep getting diagnosed? Do they?! Reliving this day in and day out, thinking about it constantly, wondering who the next victim is... I'm just mad. I'm very mad. Can I be mad? Because I am. Cancer sucks. Cancer is evil. It's like a snake. It sneaks in and takes over when you least expect it.
I'm doing my best to go about my daily life. I just can't help but think about this all the time. I'm student teaching now; I'm trying to graduate in May. I am trying so hard to juggle all of this in my head. Oy!
Dori,
So sorry to hear your aunt and cousin also have to go through surgery. I assume they both got diagnosed through FNAs? Of course you have every right to be mad!! I totally know what you mean about thinking about it all the time, waking up in "cancerland" and just finding it hard to concentrate on anything else. Cancer has a way of doing that to the patient and entire family... All my love and strength!
