our cancer genes

April 30, 2010

I’ve already shared in my other blog how I discovered that my mom has breast cancer, when I thought she was just a hypochondriac. She talked to me and somehow apologized that all she could give me was her cancer genes. To comfort her, I told her I won’t get cancer, though I have a riskier lifestyle than she has. But who could really tell, right? Her sister also died of a rare cancer, after having survived leukemia when she was a child. I have immediate relatives both in the mother and father side who had various cancers and other dreaded diseases. If I have lots of money, I would get that term life insurance for all of my relatives. My mom actually made fun of her and dad’s sickness. She said, they make a good tandem: a cancer patient and a kidney transplant.

She got a bit more worried when her mother’s sister (her kabarkada) who is just about her age was recently diagnosed also with breast cancer. She felt like it increased the chances that I, her child, and her other sister would get the disease, too. I don’t wanna be stricken with paranoia, but I’m not quite assured I won’t have that disease. Who could really tell, right?

adopting a healthy and moderate lifestyle would be a great help, but then again there are other factors that come into play… maybe in the next few years or so the bid bad C won’t be as mercilessly lethal anymore. i hope everything turns out well for you all as your mom goes through this painful ordeal.

hi mordsith! dealing with cancer sure is tough. especially when it happens to someone dear. my mother-in-law was diagnosed with stage III adenocarcinoma last January (a few weeks after dad died of stroke). we least expect it to happen to her, but then again who knows talaga di ba? i guess we’re still lucky to be there when they need us most. and here’s hoping the best for all cancer patients, your mom and my Inay included. ingat lagi! and give my regards to your mom!
