Had lunch today with my beautiful sweet mom @ East Coast Wings. Today was a great day! Take that #canceryousuck Mom, you are my rock and I am beyond blessed to have you in my life. My mom has been by my side every step of my cancer journey. My #stage2colorectalcancer journey started on August 16, 2017 during my #flexsigmoidoscopy #Endoscopy by my now retired GI Dr. Dalton. Surgery was a few months later on Nov 9, 2017. During my 12 hour surgery that should have been 5 hours my artery was cut. I needed 5 transfusions during surgery & another 4 during my weeks medical induced coma. I spent 2 months in hospital. Talk about a rough road. I developed a massive infection needing a wound vac for 4 months. Each change felt as if duck tape was being ripped off my stomach & bottom. I screamed, cried & begged for them to stop. All the while mom held my hand, wiped my tears away & murmured comforting words in my ear. My pain continued as I went through 8 months of chemo & crying & being for it to stop. Mom was right there beside me saying #thistoshallpass & she was right. Now #byebyeremission as my #colorectalcancer METS to my adrenal gland. Mom my ever present angel said #yougotthis #noonefightsalone #eveninthedarknessthereislight #withGodallthingsarepossible #eachdayisablessing Whatever these next few weeks hold for me I will continue to #keepfighting & I will #neversurrender #nevergiveup I am hoping for the best & prepared for the worse case senario. A senario I thought was long since buried. God only gives us what He thinks we can handle. At times I have felt this is the straw that will break my back. That I will crack & no amount of love, kindness & support will put me back together. As I type this mom's saying echoes in my heart, #thistoshallpass #loveyoumyrockstardaughter #youareblessed Thank you mom for everything! Thank you for your love, guidance, kindness, patience, understanding & friendship.❤💙💜💚💛 #mymomisawesome #blessedwithmymom #greatestmomintheworld #yourockmom #youareamazing #youarebeautiful (at East Coast Wings + Grill) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Xfg6RH-ad/?igshid=5ttpf8087o7
