The piercing words a mother refuses to hear were spoken during a follow-up appointment with the surgeon at St. Luke's Medical Center this afternoon: Kristin (aka Kikin') must face an unpredictable battle with a rare form of ovarian cancer. The Stanford pathology experts concurred with the initial local pathology report. There is little research on her type of cancer. Standard treatments like chemotherapy and radiation do not offer much response. Staging will be necessary, but challenging to her specific case.
Time will tell her story, but if I know my daughter, she will be kickin' cancer to the curb.
In the midst of all the findings, she looked at me through heartfelt tears, as we walked out the revolving door of the MSTI clinic, and compassionately stated, "I'm so sorry I can't give you grandbabies."
Sweetheart, on this memorable Valentine's Day, that is the least of my concerns.💞
