Stage Four

I am pretty much in shock still, as I received word that my mother has been diagnosed with stage four cancer. I am so angry, so frightened, so sad. I understand that this is very grim. They still haven't identified the primary site. She has tumors in her lungs, on her sternum, at the base of her spine and on her pelvis. But they still don't know what type she has. They are sending her pathology out to another hospital.

She is 55 years old.

Words cannot describe how fucking pissed I am about this.
