Heres my story.
About 2 years ago, my mom was diagnosed with colon cancer, and my family was pretty much devastated. She raised me, my sister and my little brother by herself and sacrificed a lot to to give us a better life.
As she went into surgery in 2011 I could remember the wait outside was like hitting brick wall every 5 minutes. All these memories were just rushing into my head and I just felt like throwing up. When the surgeon came out, he didn't have a smile on his face, which scared the crap outta me, but thank God the surgery was successful.
We were told that the cancer was successfully removed and that chemo would not be necessary.
A year later, she was diagnosed with a recurrence. Apparently, not all the cancer was removed completely and since she was advised not to get chemo, it just grew back. We then decided to go to Hong Kong to get her treated and after a long and hard battle with chemo and another surgery she is now still in recovery and looking better everyday.
This is a great cause and I hope that my story will inspire you guys to cherish your families even more. Knowing that I may not be able to see my mom ever again after rolling into the operating room was probably the most devastating experience in my life, and I have learned to cherish every moment with her ever since.
Now go and hug someone you cherish and just be thankful for having their company!
