8. My Mom Part 3

In today’s episode, which is part three in a series, I'll continue talking about my mother Kathy's battle with cancer. In the previous episode, I left off as she entered the radiation phase. For me, it seems like that period of time passed quickly because I only attended her doctor's consultation because her primary oncologist wasn't there. While attempting to recover and concentrating on her current illness and her experiences. And I am aware that if you haven't experienced it, listening to it might be confusing. Additionally, I was viewing it from a distance. I am, after all, the daughter. She is dealing with her own illness. She will soon pass away, if she were thinking such. She observes my father's illness and worries that he will soon pass away.

It was an extremely difficult and perplexing issue. And that's part of the reason why I now feel the need to discuss it and make it public. Hopefully someone will hear this and it strikes a chord with you and to be aware that you are not alone in this. 

“The news that she was going to hear it was hard to understand that only days later from her celebrating her 61st birthday that we would be sitting in an emergency room hearing the news that would change everything in ways that I could not possibly imagine everything was going to change.”

In this episode, I will talk about:

• The part three of my mother’s story
• The radiation phase 
• How my dad’s disease was progressing while being in the nursing home and how it connected with my mom’s story
