Worst Moment In My Life To Date

Four months ago my mum was rushed to hospital due to complications with her thyroids.  While in hospital she almost died because her blood pressure was so low but amazingly she overcome this like nothing had happened and was released a few days later.

Looking back that was one of the scariest moments of my life as I have never had anyone that I love so much and would die for ever be so close to death.  It was such a shock and made me release just how precious family really is.

I spent a few weeks with mum after she came out of hospital and it was great!  My whole family and I were so happy to have my mum alive and well and we thought that was the end of the scare..... until the doctors got hold of mum and told her that she has stomach cancer a week later.

Now my mum is the absolute strongest person I know and as gut wrenching as the news was for my family and myself to digest it was toughest for my mum and it was the first time I have ever seen my mum cry.

My whole family felt helpless and were in shock for a while it was hands down the worst news I have ever experienced.  From the beginning my mum always said she will get through this and was so unbelievably positive since day 1.  She started YouTubeing videos of the operation she would have to go through and all information about stomach cancer.

Mum went through 9weeks of Chemotherapy and an 11 hour operation (it was supposed to only be 6 hours) and although the past four months have been tough on mum she has done so amazing and keep 100% positive.  The oddest thing is you would never ever know she has cancer we keep forgetting as she has been so wonderful.  She looks better then she ever has and even mums personality has changed for the better she no longer stresses about the small things in life and apreicates everything.  Her outlook on life has become so positive.

We have had many complications on this journey with mum almost dying multiple times,  the Chemo leaking on the outside of mums body and other things like mum being discharged from hospital only to be admitted back in the next day.  All of this stuff has happened and my mum has gone through so much pain but always maintained to smile and keep positive.  The surgery was a success and all the cancer was taken from her stomach.  This was the best news ever all mum has is 9 more weeks of chemo and we can put this whole journey behind us.....

Except we can't.  Just as we start celebrating life without cancer mum goes back to the hospital today for a routine check-up and they have informed her that everything is great with her stomach cancer and she is healing wonderful and it no longer exists in the stomach but she now has cancer in her Lymph Nodes - cancer is in 6 out of the 9 Lymph Nodes.

Just when things start to look up they come crashing down.
