...has come back into my life.
cancer.
After three battles with breast cancer, the docs have informed my mother she probably has uterine cancer. But they have to do a biopsy to be sure and to know exactly how far along it is or if it has spread. We'll know more at the end of the week. Waiting. I hate waiting.
Today hasn't been so great.
We just heard that Chris's estranged grandfather died. Chris didn't know him. He wasn't a great man. But along with this news comes the realization that any hope for reconciliation with anyone in the family is lost. It's strange to think about. He was a man that no one in the family liked or respected (at least from the stories I have heard). But he was still their father or grandfather. Those familial bonds can't disintegrate like respect can. I can't imagine how they must be feeling.
If you're the praying type, please pray. If you aren't, please just send all the positive vibes you can. When it rains, it pours.

My mother in law was just diagnosed with Breast Cancer (Stage 3) 2 months ago - at which point the cancer grew from a golf ball size lump to a huge grape fruit size lump - right away my wife advised that eating raw foods only - only fruits and vegetables - nothing cook has been shown to kill cancer - so she went on a 100% raw diet. She went for lots of tests and was advised to have Chemo - she didn't. However she did go and have a mastectomy - it was successful. This was 2 weeks ago - before the surgery she had a pet scan done to find out if the cancer had spread (as the sudden growth initially lead to believe that it had) - it hadn't. Now after the surgery couple things happened - 1) Her recovery time was amazing - she never took any meds for pain or anything and was up and walking later the same day - she went on a Huge Hike yesterday. 2) they did a biopsy of the cancer and said that it was dying that whatever she was doing was killing the cancer. We say it was a mixture of 2 things... Prayer and eating 100% Raw Food - let me know if you'd like some info on books we read on Raw Foods and Cancer ...
This is a tough tough time for you and your family ... my prayers are with you and yours.
