in Lung Cancer #1

I was a caregiver for my mom for about five years whilst she recovered from 2b lung cancer. It took four surgeries and about 6 months worth of really hard treatments. It completely changed her.

I did everything from picking up to dropping off and not just the car ( i dont own one)

In any event, my alumni suny albany like ignores my work and so does my employer as a caregiver. On one side of the spectrum you have folks who say talk about it others and the power brokers, its not a good thing.

Moms alive, its like im not.
