My Fytness Journal

Two weekends ago, while home for my grandmothers funeral, my mom told us that she had breast cancer. Not exactly the best weekend to say the least.

She said that she had stage 3 breast cancer in her right breast but did not know anything else. On Monday she had a biopsy done to her left breast and they found more cancer there too. It runs out she as Invasive Ductal Carcinoma or IDC. It is the most common breast cancer with around 80% of the cases, Yeah, that REALLY gives me the warm fuzzies....

So, tomorrow she is having both breasts removed at 10:30 A.M. The shitty part is that I can not be there for her. I am feeling like the best son on earth right now (insert eye roll & sigh here). I don't think there was ever a time she was not there for me. Life sucks sometimes. But, we are all responsible for the choices we make and the resulting consequences.

I have that sick, foggy feeling where shocking news you recently received that did not seem real at that moment or for days after, has finally congealed into heavy reality.

No sleep for me tonight. My mind is running circles...
