A Mama Update

As you know my mama was

dealt a nasty double cancer diagnosis

and even though she is under going

radiation and chemotherapy it just

didn't seem real because she was going

so well

Last week while hubby and I were in the middle of

Big W shopping I received a message from my sister

with a photo attached....

of my mama wearing a head scarf.

and

I wanted to cry because it had really hit home

that she was ill, very ill.

My mama has lost her hair,

needs a blood transfusion

and

is fighting a nasty chest infection

thanks to the flu bug she picked up

so tonight I had to tell the girlies that

grandma would be wearing a scarf when we

skyped for a while, because the medicine the

doctors were giving her had made her hair fallout

Miss Emma instantly asked if Grandma had cancer :(

I told her that you can lose your hair for lots of reasons

and that it would grow back.

But I am worried for my mum, she looks so pale

and tired....

and I would dearly love to jump in the car and head for the

airport to be able to give her a hug.

I'll be back with a happier post tomorrow.
