    I have been staying with my dad because my mom doesn't want me around when she is sick, which is all the time. My dad works at night so I spend a lot of time alone since I'm not with my mom. I'm afraid she is going to die and I'll blame myself for not being there more. more...

Cookieloverhere - 12 years old

Hearing my mom say the words i felt like my whole world was going to fall apart.

I only just found out my mom has had a recurrence of breast cancer just before christmas... My mom has previously had cancer when i was only months old and breast cancer when i was only 8. Hearing my mom say the words i felt like my whole world was going to fall apart. As much as i sometimes argue with my mom i can never explain to anyone the amount of love i have for her. What made it worst is i found out my mom would have to have chemo .. and her lovely brown locks would fall out..

My mom is now wating to start her chemo therapy but you know what .. im ok about it. With having friends and support by my side and the riprap team, in this month i have learnt a lot of things; one being dont focus on the negatives .. but focus on the positives. My mom will be happy and well again after so that is all i can ask for :)
