Hello! I'm Kathleen, 28 years old from Clio MI. I'm here because my whole world was torn apart last August. I got a call while I was at work from a family friend telling me that I had to go to the hospital right away because my dad was very sick. I knew right then that something bad was wrong because my dad was very healthy. He was taken in by ambulance because he was coughing up pure blood. He was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer. He started Chemo and radation and we prayed for the best. The week of Christmas while my Dad was still going through his treatment my 3 year old nephew (2 at the time) was admitted into the hospital for what they thought was an infection. After tests were ran he was diagnosed with leukemia. He was rushed to a childrens hospital to start his treatments. This past March my father was told his cancer had spread and the doctors gave him less the 6 months to live. While I'm trying to deal with all this my moms health starts to get real bad. The week of Easter she was diagnosed with the other form of lung cancer. I don't know how much more I can take! I'm so worried and scared that I'm making myself sick. I am so sick of people telling me "everythings going to be ok" because as much as I want it to be I know it's not. I know I'm going to lose one or both my parents this year. I feel guilty for thinking about how I'm not going to have my dad there to walk me down the aisle when I get married or that they won't be there to see me have children.
This is the most intense pain I have every felt!
Thank You for listening to me.
Please say a prayer for my family.
