Lost for words... - 2009/05/04 04:14
I sit here, reading many other stories, and feel such sadness as I am to face the loss of my very best friend to melanoma. At 31 Trinity is a tower of strength and just getting on with life, what little she may have left. November 08 a mole was removed that had changed, to hear the news it was melanoma grade 4. Further surgery was planned to remove more of the are, however a lump came up in her groin. 2 days before xmas she had had her lymphatic system on the lower right side removed. 8 lymph glands removed with cancer in half. She came home for xmas, and after 2 weeks of recovery had scans. She was told she was all clear, which was a blessing on our ears. However lumps began to appear on her tummy, more and more and then on Friday 13th March 09 the news that the lumps yes were cancer, but it had spread to her liver and lung. We were horrified to say the least. Trinity was just 31 and her little boy hadn't turned 1 yet. Chemo began, she had two rounds, followed by radiation twice a week for 3 weeks. She had had a really sore back, and went in for further scans. On Friday 1st May 09 my best friends tells me, there is nothing more they can do. The chemo has done nothing, the cancer is so aggressive, and that's it. What can I say, what can I do, I am a mess and she is so strong. She has told me she's not afraid of dying, and I am trying so hard to be strong, but what is to come, is going to be so hard, and confronting, and yes, as many are telling me, life will go on, but it is just not fair. A simple mole is going to take my friends life in a flash. A question everything, and said why so many times. There is no answer. Only the good ones are taken from us. Cancer, we tried to fight you, and unfortunately, you won. Congratuations for ruining so many lives.
