It's time - CEPT Request
Dec. 6th, 2004 06:53 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
kyburgMy mother was diagnosed with bladder cancer last August.
Tomorrow, she goes into surgery to have her bladder removed. There is the possibility that they will also remove a kidney, and they will also remove lymph nodes to make sure they have caught all the cancer.
She's almost 80 years old, and had a good-sized heart attack four years ago.
She's a moderate risk for this surgery, and she has taken the time to be prepared if she does not survive it.
I'm scared witless. This is my onliest parent - my father died before I was seven years old.
Any good wishes or prayers offered will be greatly appreciated.
