Bit of a long, personal story. My mother was diagnosed with brain cancer when I was only a few months old and she ended up spending 9 long years fighting it as hard as she could. As a small child, I had to watch her health worsen year after year despite everything. Long hospital stays, waiting with family for her to get out of surgeries that always had a chance of going very wrong, and even traveling for her to undertake experimental treatments. I can still vividly recall her final couple of days even though they were nearly three decades ago now. She at least thankfully passed peacefully surrounded by friends and family in the home she grew up in supposedly while everyone in the room was laughing after a particularly embarrassing family story had been told. It's funny to think about now, but I say supposedly because I was actually not a part of that surrounding as I was sleeping on the couch after I had spent the whole night watching a family friend play Tomb Raider 2 on the PSX to "distract" me from what was happening, even though even at the age I was I fully understood what was going on. I grew up with the shadow of my own mother's mortality hovering over my head and the constant fear that any day could have been her last. I would like nothing more than to know that no other child would have to go through watching their parent suffer like that or have to deal with those kinds of anxieties and organizations like the Prevent Cancer Foundation are on the front lines of that battlefield. Thank you GDQ and to everyone involved helping to keep my faith in humanity alive. |
