When you hearing the C word!!!
Thanks for joining me!
Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton
My daughter was only 2 and I heard that word. She has CANCER! My mind went blank and I went numb. I don’t remember that day other then being told she has Cancer and we had to wait 2 days. That’s right 2 days to find out what kindof cancer she has.
She ended up having ALL T-Cell Leukemia! This was 9 and a half years ago. I am so grateful for the doctors & all the nurses and the hours they put into making my daughter healthier. They did it. After 29 days of intense chemotherapy! We were told that my baby girl was in remission. But it’s not the same kindof remission as other cancers. Oh no we weren’t that lucky. Where ever the blood flows is where the cancer is with Leukemia. She went through 2 years 8 months of chemotherapy. The hospital was our lives for the first year. Then the chemotherapy wasn’t half as intense as the first year.
My baby girl 12 years later is perfectly healthy! Thank God!! 1 more year and she will be considered Cancer Free as of July 2nd! That’s Caitlin’s remission date. July is her month. The 31st is her birthday!
Sometimes it doesn’t feel like it’s been that long. I can look at her and remember everything I sacrificed to be with her to take care of her,to be her Mom and do what needed to be done to make sure she was okay. She is now 15 years old and a huge pain in the ass but thank god she’s still here. She’s my miracle.
