My path took another turn this weekend.I met my mother and learned that she has kidney cancer. The course of treatment is surgery (chemo and radiation is not effective), so her doctor is operating right after the new year. The cancer appears to be in the early stages, but at my mom's age (70's) the procedure will be taxing for her. Keeping positive thoughts and the time we have over the holiday becomes that much more meaningful.
I saw my WAW last night, and I let her know about my mom. Instead of discussing the settlement agreement, she wanted to talk about my mother. For the last 18 years, my mom has been her mother as my WAW has been estranged from her family. My WAW wants to spend time with my mom...both before the procedure, be at the hospital the day of the surgery, and afterwards to see if she is okay.
My initial thoughts are is this a good idea?
Thoughts?
