I did this layout to finish my Mom's scrapbook about her breast cancer. It's been bugging me that since we are not speaking anymore that this has been just sitting on my shelf undone. I need closure to Mom, to her cancer...to the past. I thought I was going to add this to her scrapbook and decided I couldn't. It would just cause her to hate me more.

So...here it is...

This is how the story begins...paperwork! Pounds of it!

I don't know what it's like to get breast cancer, to go through chemo, surgery, chemo then radiation - oh, and all of the hospitalizations. I have no idea!

I do know what it's like to hear your Mom has breast cancer, to handle her, handle her treatment, tell her sons, to watch poison being shot into her, seeing her poked a million times when she begs to have it...stop! to be responsible for convincing her to continue treatment, to watch her hair fall out, to see her melt away because she can't eat anything, to be stronger than you ever thought you were because you can't fall apart....you can't feel anything cuz' if you do...you might fall apart and where would SHE be?

I hate cancer!

I hate cancer! I hate jumping through ropes to get it paid for, I hate chemo & radiation, I hate the smell of the hospital, I hate the pain in your head & heart when there is nothing you can do but watch, wait, hold your breath & smile like it's all ok!

I hate everything about cancer!
