Chapter One: The News and The decision
I remember that I was just a first year high school student when we found out that my mom has a breast cancer. My world stopped when I heard the news from her. I thought it was just a simple case but it wasn't. My heart, my mind, and my soul became weak. I became more emotional than ever. Who would think that out of billion people in this world my mom will have a cancer. Cancer is one of the illnesses that can kill you anytime if your body is too weak. Either you survive or DIE. 2 out of 10 people survive cancer and the rest they go to Heaven where God is.
Months has passed since the big news. Everything changed. She got weaker than ever. Her cyst got big so we decided that she must be operated in order that it will not get more worse. I don't have an accompany for the whole week because she went somewhere far for her operation. Maybe you ask yourself " Why didn't you go with your mother? " ,well, this is my answer I'm too coward to see her in her situation especially when she was newly operated. I can't stand it. If I went with her I might lose my mind and blamed mysele. I don't blamed God because I knew and believed that I should trust Him no matter what.
Her operation went well because she was still breathing and she was still in my sight to see. It's a corny joke. I don't want to be the next drama queen. She said to me that she must under go a chemotherapy so the cancer cells will not spread. I approved it bacause I thought this might be a way for her to live little longer and be with me a little more.
After her chemotherapy was done, I thought she got a lot better but unfortunately, it got a lot worse than I ever imagined. The cancer cells spread in her right breast. She went to another operation. I kept asking myself ' Why of all people God chose my mom to experience this obstacle? '
