spankerella... I sew myself shut.
My mother doesn't just have breast cancer. She has lung cancer and bone cancer in her left leg. The (yeah right) upside... it's isolated, so it's treatable. I can't wrap my mind around any of this just now. If you have mailed me in the last few days, I am not being bitchy and ignore-y. I've just been dealing with a little more than I can handle. You know that feeling where you really just want to have a good old freak-out cry fest and break down? Yeah. I am just about there.
Thank you to those of you on my yahoo group who've been fielding questions. I really appreciate that.

Luckily, so do we. Do what you need to do - cry, get angry, whatever. Once you get past your emotion, you can get down to the business of helping your mom fight this.
On one of the websites that you posted about cancer, they likened it to having a whale in the room with you, squeezing everything else out. With some positive imagery, maybe we can work on changing that whale into an itty bitty guppy.... or a krill... or even a plankton!
