when i heard my mom had colon cancer, last year, i was scared. i thought she eas going to die until she had the operation. i got to visit her there afterwards when the cords were gone. she didn't want me to see her tied up. she was thrilled she got to be in there long enough to get flowers. there were several bouquets. mom always said if she went to the hospital she wanted to stay long enough to get flowers. i was so relieved when i saw her and new she would live. i sat down on what i thought was a chair. suddenly, she jumped up and shouted get up! get up. i have to use the toilet. that was so funny because it looked just like a pretty chair. another reason i was worried about her was because my grandma on her side died of breast cancer when i was less than 2yrs.old. that was about 44yrs. ago.
