Story Telling part one Janet Kuypers 3/26/15 adapted from 2006’s “Story Telling” My mom had breast cancer and the three girls flew to visit her and mom felt bad that she couldn’t make our trip better because she just found out she had cervical cancer too but we couldn’t have come at a better time so she had procedures she had surgeries and the cancer was gone she was in the clear so for a decade she went to the doctor and they found no cancer in her and all seemed well she had beaten a killer ### a decade after her bouts with cancer she went back to the doctor, had a fever, felt tired and they said it’s funny, you’ve got all the symptoms and most women who have had as much cancer in their history as you’ve had well, it seems you now have leukemia ### now, this leukemia is a tricky thing cancer of the blood versus cancer of an organ it was easier when you could just remove an organ and leave it at that but this was cancer in her blood and the cancer crept into her bone marrow and they had to periodically drill into her hip bone for a bone marrow biopsy to see if there was any cancer in her bone marrow must be a fun job, to drill into an angel’s hip bone
