I try to relax. I am only 26 it is really hard. My sisters seem to handle it so well. I know that each person handles it in their own way. I just beat myself up about not being able to step up to the plate.

My mom had a rough night last night. Apparently the first treatment she received did not agree with her and the doctors at Fox Chase told us to take her the ER. Of course I wasnt a part of that. My sisters both took her. My days are filled with constant worry.
