Here is some parts of journal entries that I wrote about mom while she was battling cancer. Some parts are small but they tell about what she had to go through.

Today has went a little better so far. Yesterday mom got out of the hospital. She was in there from Friday until Monday, i'm so exhausted. Hopefully she won't have to go back.

I've had the best past two days of my life. I went to Tennesee and saw Pigeon Forge, Gatlinberg, and the Great Smoky Mountains. It was so awesome, I love it there. The greatest thing ever was when me and my Uncle Alvis rode the helicopter for 9 miles over Pigeon Forge. You could see everything even the smokies. It was so cool. I wasn't even nervous or anything. I sat up front with the pilot and talked to him the whole time, he was extremely nice. I'd like to fly a plane someday..lol I was happy to get to fullfil my mothers dream. I wanted her to have a good time and that she did.. I'll have pictures soon...God Bless and peace Out

I'm so happy..This is the happiest i've been in a long time..God has been so good to me and my family. He has made my mom feel so much better. At first we thought we was going to loose her because after she had her surgery Friday in which it was a have to case, they took four inches of her bowels out because they contained cancer and they took about three tumors out. The tumors had actually grown into her bowels. This was why she couldn't hold no food down and kept throwing up bile, her bowels were locked. After the surgery she started running a really high fever and her blood pressure was 69/23 and she lost her pulse for a split second. They rushed her into intensive care and she stayed there until Easter. Later that day on easter she got to go back over too the Markey Cancer Center and has remained there. The doctors said she may get to come out soon. Mom said now she feels so much better, she is able to keep down food, and she said her stomach doesn't hurt or burn, she isn't even sick to her stomach. I'm so glad she is feeling much better, that is what i've wanted for so long. God really does work in mysterious ways.

I'm worried about mom she hasn't been feeling too well. Her stomach has been hurting where the incision is. I hope she gets better. I don't want her sick like she was before. She is my best friend. I love my mother so much. But I know God will take care of her...Whatever is his will, will be done....God Loves you and me...

Thursday we took mom to Lexington for another Chemotherapy treatment. The doctors said that her cancer is looking much better and she only has to take three more treatments. Mom had to stay overnight in the hospital on the account of her blood being low. They gave her two pints of blood, meanwhile I stayed with her. The most scariest thing happened. While we were there a tornado struck Lexington, it tore up about 30 homes but no damage was done to anyone in the hospital. We were transferred out of our  rooms into the hallways for protection. Before being transferred I saw out the window a yellow sky with the tornado twisting all around outside. It was so frigtening, but God took care of us.

My new glasses came in today, they are so cute even though they are only for reading. They are plastic, the frames are black(I've always wanted a pair like that. I wouldn't care to wear them all the time Lol) Also I've filled out my applications for a job now all I have to do is send them in. I can't send them in until mom gets to go on vacation. I really want her to go, she didn't get to do much during her younger years, so now that I can take her I will be more than happy to. I love her so much I would do anything for her. Mom wants to go to the beach, hopefully we get to take her to Virginia Beach.

 I haven't had the time to get online all this week for painting ceilings, taking mom to Lexington for Chemo (The doctors said that her cancer is almost gone..Thank You God So Much..I love you with all my heart.) and wallpapering.. Last week Mom, Bub, and I went fishing..I caught a Bluegill in the creek up above our house, because you couldn't catch anything anywhere else, but hey it's a fish....

I'm sorry I haven't written in a while. I have been so depressed. On my 6th month anniversary which was the 4th I found out my mother got her cancer back for the third time. I cried and cried and Justin just held me and let me cry.Thank God he was there to comfort me. I'm so tired of seeing her go through too much. She is such a good person. She doesn't deserve this. She was so depressed also. She said she wasn't going to take the treatments if they were just going to keep coming back. Anyway Thursday she and I both got annointed at church. I had been so sick to my stomach ever since I found out about her being sick again. So we got annointed and now both of us feel so much better. We both believe that God has taken her cancer away and hopefully she won't have to start the treatments Thursday. She has to take another CA-125 blood count Monday or Tuesday and that will determine if she has it or not and if she has to take the treatments. Please pray for her. Everyone that reads this forward this onto everyone else and have them pray for her also. God Bless

Did you know that life never treats you right? It seems as if all life is meant for is trouble and heartache. Thursday I found out that my mom had a tumor in her side and she has to have surgery July 28th to have it removed. I get so tired of seeing her go through so much. I wish she could just get better and stay better. She has never done anything to anyone to deserve this. I just want her to enjoy her life. She truly is my best friend.Yesterday was also a bad day because my mom's brother Raymond died. I feel so bad for her. It seems as if all the heartache is left on her. I wish there was something that I could do.

Everyone please pray for my mom. She has to go next Thursday and possibly have to have surgery. I don't believe she will have to but please pray for her. She has been through too much and I hate to see her go through more.

Today has been such a good day. We went to Lexington for Mom's doctor's appointment. He said that her tumor is shrinking and is stable. He didn't mention anything about surgery and she isn't taking chemotherapy.Before when her cancer was doing badly her CA 125 blood count was up high, now it is down low. God still answers prayers. Thank You God, I love you soooooooooo much.
 

After This I didn't have time to write because mom started getting worse again. She couldn't eat from Thanksgiving until the day that she passed away which was on December 16, 2005.
