I hate cancer.
That's a really stupid thing to say. It implies that maybe someone out there doesn't hate it.
Momma's numbers are down and her scans show improvement. Not enough to get a break from chemo, but improvement nonetheless.
My friend Susan, however, did not have clean scans and is facing another battle.
The thing that makes me so angry is not the cancer itself. It's the freaking inconvenience. Susan has things to do. Great things because she is a freaking genius. Great things because she is an awesome mom. Great things that the world will have to wait on because of cancer.
We're brushing off our Team Whymommy badges. We're remembering when the wall of support started. We're lifting prayers and positive energy.
Keep fighting, SuSu. It's worth it. You make the world a better place.Labels: Cancer, Just plain pissed, Momma, Team Whymommy

Want to join Team Dirt & Noise in the Race for the Cure? I'm adding Susan to our list, along with my friends Jenn and Jennifer who are mothers battling breast cancer too.

Breast cancer sucks the big one. I've almost made it 4 years after being diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. Fortunately mine was found very, very early (tumor less than 1/4 inch).
I'm almost, yes almost 4 years out - May 6. I'm not a mom but who cares in this ugly battle?
My best wishes to you.
