i am still at a loss for words and feeling very detached by the news. it's like i am hoping it is not happening, that the doctors had somehow gotten their diagnoses wrong, and that it's just some big pimple and not what it is thought to be... mom's freaking out that her sibling and cousin are battling this and has not come to terms with what's happening..
yes..that's right ! what is happening?? i just don't know what to do or say...how do i comfort someone facing the big C..? how do i say that everything is gonna be alright and not know whether it's really gonna be or not..how do i feel their fears, their pain and all the psychological and physical trauma, when i'm not the one suffering..? how do i extend my love beyond just mere words or touch..? one of them is going for a mastectomy and is freaking-scared about the procedure while the other has started on her chemotherapy, with dreadful cycles to complete and still have to face an uncertain future..
..so tell me how..

some updates...both my aunts are coping well. the one that had the mastectomy is recovering nicely from the op. and now keeping fingers crossed that the tissue removed and sent for testing will not be bad. the other one is also handling the chemotherapy with confidence and keeping her spirits up...i pray both will be cleared of this ailment completely..
