Jan. 8th, 2005 03:24 pmSo it's not so bad.
Thank you, ever so, to everyone who swarmed in to wish us hugs or support or prayers in the last 24 hours. It means a lot to me. I think my inbox hasn't been this full since the summer. LOL. And people I haven't even "met" before are leaving their good vibes here on LJ for me. For that, again, I thank you.
Yes, my mother still has breast cancer, and that did not change while I slept... much as I wish it had. We have survived the first 24 hours. Those are probably the worst. Now I can talk a bit more. My mother is going to be ok. Mainly because I don't accept otherwise, but also because her doctors say she is. They believe they caught it early enough. Yes, it's gonna be rough, chemo and all, but they say they look for her to make a full recovery. We've had cancer in this family before. We've beaten it back. It has only defeated one of us... and that was in a time when they did not know anything about cancer. If my cousin can have a tumor removed from her brain and still be kickin' it almost ten years later, my mother can beat this. The thing about the women in my family is when we need to be strong, you can not break us. We may get knocked into the dirt, but we rise. I am prepared to do what needs to be done here. Monday morning I go with my mother to the hospital so she can have her mediport put in and a biopsy done. The chemo will begin soon.
A hearty thank you goes out to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
goddessvicky who has made a donation in my name to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Words fail me on that one. And thanks goes out to mpants for my pink ribbon icon. If anyone else still feels the need to "do something" or "do more" to help me, I ask that you make a donation to breast cancer research. The first link even takes paypal.

I know everyone keeps saying there's no hurry, but I am an escapist at heart. Writing will take me away from this drama... even for a little while. So I will get back to the working on the writing in about a week or so. I just need to settle down first.
eta: After reading my email today, I have HAD it. I've had it with fanfiction and archiving my stuff at so many places. ( here's why )
