Thought I would share this part of cancer:
Son: mom I love you
Me: best news I got all day
Son: wish I could hug u rn
Me: me too. What’s going on need to talk?
Son: I had to interview someone who’s mom died from breast cancer
Me: I am so sorry for their loss.
Son: I worry momma
Me: I am doing what I should meds are working stable scans I will do whatever I need to be right here
Son: it’s scary not seeing you every day
Me: sends selfie I will send you a pic every day
Son: thanks momma
I have guilt that my child has to live with this fear. This is the true aftermath of cancer. So please don’t ever think cancer is “over”. Every one has trauma after cancer. Family is affected deeply.

Thank you for sharing this AM. This is so deeply moving.
Thank you @lescp I think sometimes we forget how cancer can affect our family for a long time.
Thanks for sharing, AnnMarie. I had a 6 month check up with the oncologist this morning. Everything still looks good. I texted my kids with the news before I left the parking garage, as I always do. It helps, even now that they're adults, and after so many years.
Adult kids are still our kids :)
