As I sit here this morning...I look back at the last week and Just breathe a sigh of relief!  My Mom, who has taken care of me through my entire cancer journey is now in need of healing.  I found it easy to be the patient.  It was simple being the patient.  I had no choice I did what I had to do to LIVE!  I always said that it must be much harder on the caregivers than the patient.  
I and my siblings are now caregivers to my Mom.  I guess we have always tried to make things easier on her since becoming an adult,  But now it takes on a whole new meaning since our family has been introduced to the cancer world.  She has not been diagnosed with cancer,  But when you here that your Mom has a 2 cm Ampullary mass and it is covering the Pancreas.  And you yourself have been battling Pancreatic cancer....it hits close to home!  I do not wish my Mom to go through what I have had to endure!  For some idiot reason...I was wishfully thinking that I was going to be the only one to face anything like cancer.  I keep up the positivity and good thoughts, but when your Mom tells you that she has  been suffering from the same symptoms that I had....Then red flags go up!  I am scared...there I admit it.  But I will not let it show.  We will get to the bottom of this and mom will be able to enjoy her grandchildren and her great grandchildren to come!  I have faith!  And with that... and a positive attitude, we will overcome
