The C Word.

Cancer is a sketchy thing.
Especially when it's your mom.

Sometimes it's hard to say things. "I'm sorry" can be a tough one.
Any yes or no sort of question can be hard, because we're naturally afraid of rejection.
But the hardest thing I've ever had to say is "My mom has cancer."

It's skin cancer, which can get pretty serious. But it's Basal Cell Carcinoma.
And frankly, if you're going to get skin cancer, that's what you want to have.
But the doctors said that they're like ice bergs; however big they are on the surface, they're a million times bigger under the skin.

Surgery can do some intense damage. because if you have a spot 1 cm wide, you can have it 4 cm wide under the surface. And it all has to be removed. Then, if you have multiple spots, it can get iffy. My mom has one above her lip, and right beside her nose. That's really crappy placement.
What if it messes up her lips? I haven't kissed my mom goodnight in a long time. What if I don't get to because of her lip's weirdness?
And her nose? If it messes up her nose, what if people stare? I'd hate to punch a little kid because he stared at my mom like she was a freak. I'm 18 now, and that's illegal.

I'm not looking forward to thing whole ordeal. But I know that I have friends and family who love us very much, and who will love us no matter what happens.
And you, my followers (now this sounds like a cult). You make it easier. Thanks for reading, and thanks or praying. I love you guys. =]
