The C Word

I bet you are wondering which C word I am referencing. Well, this C word can mean many things to people. It can mean death, destruction, pain, suffering, sickness and more. Or it could mean strength, love, family, prayer, support, positivity, hope, and faith. Often, the C word can bring on a combination of these as well as a roller coaster ride of emotions. The C word is Cancer and my family has cancer. I heard once when one person gets cancer it's as if the whole family has it. Well, I can definitely understand that. My mom is currently fighting cancer. Lymphoma to be exact. Stage 4. I decided to write a blog about our journey. The ups and downs.  Maybe, our experience will help others, going through something similar, to cope. Two young girls I know keep up with fantastic blogs and it was reading their blogs that inspired me to write about something important to me. So here goes. This blog is dedicated to my mom. We will call her Chickey because that is her endearment for us (her four daughters.) My plan is to start from the beginning and tell you our story. Right now, she is doing great. Chemo has shrunk the cancer and her spirits are high. But the fight continues and the journey to this point has been rocky. Thank you for reading our story.
