Title: Mom's Cancer ArticleDate: 24 Dec 2018 Tags: family Author: ratthing Mom got out of the hospital on the 22nd. On the 21st (her birthday) she found out she has a form of cancer called myeodyplastic syndrome. I've never heard of it but it's one of the many types of blood cancers that are out there, starting in the bone marrow. Of course its part of life to lose one's parents, but now that the end seems closer for my mom, it really hurts. She's depressed and scared. I just pray that we can have her around for as long as possible and that she does not suffer too much. .
