My story is about my mother.

This event took place between 29 December 2022 to 17 November 2024

The Discovery

It was discovered by an abdominal ultrasound without any symptoms it was just an alert inside my soul, I’m a doctor and I felt something with my mother was not ok, she had a severe accident the previous year and the cancer didn’t appear in none of the images (tomography/ magnetic resonance), it was just a feeling. When she was diagnosed it was a IV stage, it was spread to her ganglion, lungs and liver.

The Impact of Time

The first thing I want to express is that my mother was young (she was in her sixties) and a really positive and generous woman, she always take care of everybody no matter the results or impact it had on her, she was a hard working and active person, so the day that she realized about her diagnosis she never gave up, she took a supernatural strength and kept on fighting against all odds, her treatment consisted in a multiple chemotherapy (4 different chemotherapies all together through a port a cath) and she received 37 cycles , and survive 1 and 11 months.

I want to share my mother’s story because against all statistics and numbers and percentages, she overcame the average survival and I think it was because her inner strength and desire of living , she left us young and with many beautiful things she deserved to obtain from life, somehow this story deserves to be told. From my experience as daughter and the closest person including my father and sister, her living experience must be shown as a prove of hope and faith.
