My mom had surgery this morning. All I know is my sister sent a text that says, “took half of one lung. think they got it all.” Since she is in the hospital I know she can’t take cell phone calls. I will have to wait until she goes outside for a smoke break or calls someone else in the family to relay all the details.

This morning I got a text from my sister. It didn’t say anything except two words, “it’s cancer.” I was totally freaked out. Who has cancer? What is she talking about?
I tried to call her back and got no answer. I don’t even know what that means. Is she not answering because she is talking to someone else? Did she not answer because she is too upset to talk? Does she have access to her phone or is she in a hospital where they don’t let you use cell phones?
I was going crazy with worry and not getting an answer on her cell phone. So I sent a text back, “Pls call ASAP.” But so far have not heard from her.
