This is my mom Clara. I am so thankful to my heavenly father because she is my mother. When I was really little (2 years old), her mother passed away from ovarian cancer. Both me and my mom are in the medical field and we both know how we can be "ticking time bombs". My mom faithfuly visits the GYN's, during her last visit (last week), she had the standard blood work to see if she might have cancer- CA-125. The test came back elevated. They did an ultrasound and found that she has a couple of myomas in her uterus, and that her right ovary looked abnormal. translation she might have CANCER!!! Ovarian cancer is my biggest fear, and now my greatest enemy. My brave mom called me last week and ramdomly asked "when was the last time that you went to the GYN's office?". I should have know that she was speaking in code.
Yesterday I recieved a phone call from my dad, he was freaked out which made me WORRY!! I am a worrier by nature, so this came easy for me. I called my mom and I was able to tell her how scared I am that I may loose her. She was very calmed and she just told me that I need to be brave for my dad. HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO BE BRAVE?!?! Then she asked me to share the news with my brother. I called him... poor guy probably didn't understand because I was crying so much.
As I write this blog I am asking for your love.... Please keep my mom in your prayers!!! Her surgery is on the 18th of August.
My mom
