Mouth Drop

On Jan. 28^th 2008 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I can’t believe it was happening to me. They were no sign and also no one in the family has died of cancer. I didn’t understand why it has to be me.

I went to the cancer center a week later and met the doctors and the staff who would take care of me during treatment. They made a profile and took a picture. Before they can treat me, I need to have the surgery to remove the lump. They arrange the appointment and soon I went into surgery. After all the check up my treatment start with eight treatments of chemo follow by radiation.

By the time my daughter got married on July 28^th I was bold and weak. I still remember when my daughter shaves my head and I saw myself for the first time. I did make it to the wedding and I’m grateful to the staff of the cancer center that helps me go through all the emotions. Today I’m cancer free and grateful to be alive.

Maybe is not a jaw dropping, however I was in shock and in disbelief the entire time.

 

In exactly 100 words creatively describe one moment when your mouth dropped open, chin hit the ground, and tears rolled down your face (figuratively or not). If you prefer to develop this into a longer post, that’s fine too!

Thanks for the prompt suggestion, T. Dwella!
