I want to remind all of my friends out there that this is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so take a few minutes and feel the girls up, don't be shy, hell you can tag team it to...just do it, don't wait, don't think your not old enough, or that just because its not in your family it won't happen, it happens.
Take a few minutes when your in the shower, or kicking back...hell I don't care how, when, where or any of that, just do it, I don't want to loose anyone else to this...its important, trust me it is.
My mom asked me to go to the doctors with her, no big thing, I bundled up my baby and off we went. A nurse comes out and says my moms wants me. I am a little scared, holding Ashley tight I walked into the office...
"Carie this is Dr Important, I have breast cancer, want me to hold the baby?"
"No" She was my hold on reality, the thing keeping me grounded...
It takes the breath right out of you, your world starts to spin uncontrolably, all the bullshit is gone...you now how to focus on what do we do, what can I do...whats going to happen?
My mom is a strong woman, I am not even kidding you...she had a lumpectomy, came home with all these drains sticking out...2 days later back at work, every morning for 6 weeks she went and had her chemo treatment after work, never missed a day, then for the next 6 weeks she went ever morning before work for radiation, still staying strong and going to work...then 6 weeks of after work chemo again...she went through all of this, sick as hell, not missing one day of work, never complaiing, just do what needed to be done and moving on...
It was the nights that were hard, she was sick all night, crying from the pain, constantly asking god "why me" I would sit there with her, wet towel in hand, help her back to bed, tuck her in, go back to my room and hold Ashley, still my anchor to the real world...
I watched my mom go through hell and fight her way back...she was lucky, they caught it early, lucky..wierd to say that with all she went through and all she continues to go through, but she was lucky, because shes alive...
She has no lymph system in right arm so it swells all the time, if she gets into something shes not supposed to it will swell, it gets so hard and all red, the heat coming off it is crazy, off to the docs she has to go to get it fixed...its crazy...but she is one of the lucky ones, because we have watched so many family and friends not be able to live through it...
Anyways get to checkin girls, and guy to...trust me men get it as well...so fell up those tata's make a party out of it...woohooo
