Turbo Cancer: The Beginning
June 11, 2022
Before the World Turned Upside Down
On this day, last year, my mom was healthy. For decades, she had eaten only organic food, engaged in daily water aerobics, volunteered at the local food pantry and had a rich, full, active social life. Tomorrow will mark one year since the day on which I took her to the hospital for a small lump that had appeared in her groin and the pain that accompanied it. She would be sent home, with a diagnosis of constipation and a possible hernia. That diagnosis was incorrect. Within two weeks, my mom’s groin pain became so debilitating that she lost her ability to walk. She needed round-the-clock care. As the lump grew visibly each day, her pain and suffering increased. We were suddenly thrown into what became six months of fighting against an invisible enemy.
