Last Monday I received a frantic call from my mom about my godmother, her best friend. My god family is an extremely important part of my life, if anything ever happened I knew that they were my safety net to catch me when I fell, especially my godmother.
My godmother had unusually high white blood cell counts and had just finished seeing a hematologist who told her that he was quite certain that she was showing signs of liver cancer. She was calling to prepare us for the bad news, that she may be facing a battle with cancer.
At this time I was finishing my presentation for class about Relay for Life and the presentation really hit home, because I realized that this year would be different instead of just celebrating the people in my life that are in remission, I would have to "fight back" for her against cancer.
It was a very scary realization, for the next few hours I looked through old pictures and tried to relive memories in my mind, hoping to find comfort. She is my first role model, a guardian, friend and mother- it took my breathe away to realize that a doctor's appointment, and a set of test results might change all of that. So this week I've just been hoping and praying for the best- maybe there is a silver lining...
