Last night's post on FB by Ate Riza "Yesterday, may nakapang lump sa left breast si ma. nakapa ko kanina, malaki- > 4cm! It looked like a benign tumor by elastography but it had features not commonly associated with benign- so baka cancer (na mas common sa ganitong edad). Plan is to admit ma friday night, excision with frozen section sat am. I pray and hope it is not cancer...."
When Dad died last year (brain cancer), I felt scared of the idea that Mom might leave us too soonafter. Her visa application is currently with immigration and we're hoping to get news by end of the week, if not next week on the results. Plan is for her and Diana to come and visit us this December, to spend Christmas here too.
Everyone's changed since I left three years ago. The family's grown, dad got sick and died, Nanay broke her femur, people got older, Tita Dory burned her hand. Everyone's aged, including my Mom. I miss them all. I realise now how strong my family ties are.
I'm just nervous i guess. I'm anxious on what the results will be for me. What will happen to us. It's scary. I don't want to go through that process again. But no matter what the future holds, I know that we are there for each other as a family. I'm just so far away from them.
