Cancer Blows…

I spent the other night with my mom in the Cancer Lodge in Vancouver. She is currently fighting Leukemia and has to go to the nearby hospital on a daily basis for treatment and to get blood.

The lodge itself isn’t such a bad place, sorta like a hotel room. But to stay there for 3 months like she has I’m sure feels like agony.

As I type this we are currently onboard a ferry bound for Nanaimo. Mom wasn’t feeling so well on the car ride from the lodge to the ferry so now she is laying down and resting. Of course, there is not a designated place for doing this, so we have set her up on a box that is used to store curtains that cover the windows when it is dark out such that the interior lights do not interfere with the view of the water. We have gotten a few weird looks, but what are we to do? She desperately needs to rest and this is the only place she can do so.

I hope that she will start to feel a little better in the next few days.

Probably the best Christmas present that she could get this year would be to find a bone marrow donor for her so that she can maybe stop the chemotherapy and start getting healthier. Anyone wanna donate their marrow?

I know she will not stop fighting this but it is hard to see her going through it.
