12. My Mom Part 6

Today's episode is the continuation behind my mom’s story. I know all too well about her choice; we were aware of the approach. Because she had actually gone through this radiation cycle twice before. In addition, unlike the lung cancer, this time it was on her scalp. Once more, she made this decision. It’s her choice, her journey. I'm just there to ride it out with her. My mom wanted to go places but she wasn’t able to do that because of the rapid nature of cancer. But she could do the easiest and most fun thing under the circumstances, which was to visit one of her favorite restaurants and pretend for one night that everything was normal and she was out with the girls just hanging out.

“I didn't know obviously at the time how much time was really left and how much that conversation was going to impact me, how much guilt I was gonna hold for that conversation for a very long time, how angry I was gonna be at myself for that conversation.”

In this episode, I will talk about:

• The part six of my mother’s story 
• Chemo was a breeze and a way for her but the radiation wasn’t great
• The conversation that impacted me for years
