Life's Twists and Turns

Today I am thinking about all the twists and turns my life has taken in the past 8 months. First it was mom being diagnosed with Diabetes II in May. I then had my own personal experience of mixing Claritin D along with Excedrin aspirin with my current medication which lead to a blood pressure of 160/100 one July morning. This lead to a neighbor calling 911 and the Paramedics deciding I needed to go to emergency to be on the safe side.

Now here in August mom was sent to Urgent Care for Jaundice and was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. We now need to decide what type of treatment will work best to fight the cancer. I am still not working so that adds to the current medical crisis in the family.

I am not a religious person, but I do believe in a higher authority and have prayed occasionally. Although I don't consider myself a religious person I do consider myself a spiritual person.

The family right now which consists of 3 sisters, my niece and my brother-in law all have their opinion on what should happen next. I myself am not very versed on medical techniques or terminology so I have left that to the doctors and my sisters.

Its amazing how many people have opinions on this subject and how some are very positive and others very negative. I guess this is just another twist that I'll have to deal with in my life and hopefully we'll make the right decision on how best to fight the this terrible disease.
