Let me introduce my Mom, Connie.
Mom refused to have a colonoscopy, and was anemic for about ten years.
October of 2020, she stood up from the floor wrong, and broke her hip.
She went to Austin to convalesce. About a month later, her breathing was labored, and they took her to the hospital to run some tests.
It turns out that Mom had stage four metastatic cancer that had spread through her kidneys, bones and lungs.
She was diagnosed the Saturday before Thanksgiving and died Thanksgiving day.
Mom was eighty-two when she died. Since she was seventy she said that she didn’t want to know if she had cancer, because she didn’t want to be bald and bedridden.
Not wanting to face the consequences of cancer is how people can be diagnosed when it is too late.
