because the universe likes to rain sh*t on me...

we have 3 leaks in our house, and my mom just called to tell me she's been diagnosed with cancer.

ugh.

she had a LEEP procedure done for cervical dysplasia a few weeks ago, and the results came back positive.  she apparently didn't have the wits about her to ask too many questions about stages and whatnot (though i don't know whether they even know that sort of thing yet); all she knows is to expect a call from a GYN-oncologist to schedule a hysterectomy.  (she's 67).

i'm kind of in shock.  anybody have personal, family, or friend experience with cervical cancer?

Re: because the universe likes to rain sh*t on me...

  • Ugh, Im so sorry to hear about your mom. Sending all kinds of good thoughts to her, you and the rest of your family.

    Are you going to have your insurance company take a look at your leaks to see what can be done for you?

  • we're actually already in the middle of a lawsuit with the builder of our building b/c of leaking issues.  the architect we have been working with just said today that if our building had been constructed properly in the first place, we wouldn't have this leaking issue to begin with.

    thanks for your positive vibes!  i need all of them that i can get right now!

  • Aw, Leslie, I'm really sorry. My aunt had cervical cancer and had a hysterectomy. She actually said the hysterectomy was like a magic bullet since she felt amazingly better afterwards. We can talk offline about it. I was with her for her recovery.
  • Sorry, that's a lot to deal with at one time.

  • Glad you are feeling a bit better.  My best wishes for your mom for a speedy recovery and good health. And good luck with the leaks!
  • I'm sorry to hear about your mom! I understand how you are feeling (my mom got diagnosed with breast cancer 2 years ago - she's fine now).  I don't know much about cervical cancer, so I can't help with that, but we are all here for you if you need to vent!
