I learned I had unwittingly joined the "C" club one year ago.
I spent the holidays fretting over the surgery and radiation treatment that was to come and creating lots of "what if" scenarios.
Those first few days were so scary because of the unknowns.
But now it's just a memory and I've been able to move on to so many more things. I had lots of support and good wishers.
I was reminded of that yesterday when a colleague dropped off a breast cancer awareness ornament/pin gift to me.
It is beautiful, a silver angel with the pink breast cancer awareness ribbon around her waist. It's hanging on my tree for now but in the new year I'll be wearing it, grateful that what I went through is now just a memory.

I am a son of a mother who is an institution. My mother has dimencia, but has told me repeatedly that she would like to live with me, her biological son. The problem is that the lawyeres are dragging their feet on honoring my mother's wishes and have had her remain in an institution for over 9 months without resolve. My question is, "How can blood be taken from blood, when a son is providing adequate care and is willing to take care of their mother?" I will be glad to help and answer any questions that you may have concerning this issue.
Please help, because I feel that I am doing all that I can for my mother, but the issue remains unresolved, with my mother wishes being silenced.
