So, in this post I will be give you a little background so you will understand the facts better...
In October 2001, when I was 4, my mom discovered that she had breast cancer, well.. actually two of them on the same breast...I don't remember much of that time, just the fact that for a little while we lived with our grandma, who died a couple years ago from a tumor of her own.
Mom had 6 cycles of chemotherapy and 6 cycles of radiotherapy at the same time once a month for 6 months.
She had a quadrantectomy too... in case you don't know what that is here is the definition:
Quadrantectomy is a surgical procedure in which a "quadrant" (approximately one-fourth) of the breast, including tissue surrounding a cancerous tumor, is removed. It is also called a partial or segmental mastectomy.
After that she had physical therapy to regain the mobility of the left arm.
everything was fine until this summer ( in 2013 ).
I don't really know how all this started...
One day my dad told me that mom had a mass on her uterus and she was going to be operate on.
In June 13 we left for vacations;
My parents accompanied me and my twin to my ( my dad side ) Grandma's house and left us there as he does every summer.
A month later, mom had already been operated on and during a phone call my dad finally told us the truth!
During the operation the surgeon found a tumor as big as an orange attached to the ovary so he made the decision of take EVERYTHING out.
The operation was successful but is not over yet...
