My week!
Posted on April 6, 2009 by MANIFEST ME! in GeneralI have already express that I am drained physically, emotionally, and mentally right? Well, I am two weeks behind in my classes that I started two weeks ago. I have not been able to get any work done. What I have learned over the course of my previous week is that CANCER is my enemy.
My grandmother battled with cancer for 11 years. As you already now, she lost her battle last week on March 30, 2009. I was blessed enough to share her last moments with her. I had to work that day and I took off for lunch earlier than unusual because I had the sudden unction to get up and go to the hospital.
Normally I get an ill feelling when something is about to happen. I got that feeling Sunday and later to find out she was being rushed to the hospital. She had been in the hospital through the week because she had to go and get blood platelets every other day. She had cancer in her lymph nodes and she had leukemia.
She wouldn’t tell anyone that she had cancer over the last 11 years, battling with leukemia. If she would have chosen to do chemo years ago she would probably had left us because chemo battles against cancer in your lymph nodes. It makes it worse.
So, she started chemo treatments several months ago and it was down hill fighting lymphoma. She had swollen nodes under her arms and in her neck. Her battle with cancer opens my eyes to how important it is as to being aware of how standing for the cause to find cures for the horrible disease.
Since my grandmother played a HUGE part in my life, she will never be forgotten. I lost my mother when I was 12 and my grandmother help raise my siblings and I.
She will always be remembered and NEVER forgotten! My stand for cancer awareness begins NOW!
