Donna from Washington

My mother Lori was diagnosed with ovarian cancer last year. After her diagnoses things moved very fast with treatments. She had radiation everyday and chemo once a week. It was a very stressful time. We are a small family and I am all she has had to help her. I have two small boys myself. Cancer is a terrible thing I wish could be removed from earth. To go sit in a room full of people getting chemo in itself is a very humbling experience. My mother is currently waiting on a test to see if she is in remission and if treatment worked. Every day is a new emotional struggle for her as well as myself. I do my best to have the positivity she needs everyday. She has numerous other issues and health concerns popping up from all of her treatment. If she is not waking up to a bladder infection one day it's waking up to severe back pains. I do not make much money and it's been a struggle to make ends meet with me missing so much work. I am at least thankful for my job's support to allow me off whenever is needed. I know there are others out there going through the same thing and I always tell myself God will only put on you what you can handle.
