    This is hard for me to write…read more A while back my mother got a mammogram at her doctor and she told my mother she should get a core biopsy. Her primary care had found calcifications in the mammogram and she wanted it checked out. My mother went and got the biopsy at the Women's Health Center in Lima. After a week, she was asked to come in for her test results. The test results were being given to her the day before Thanksgiving and since I was off work, i told her I would take her and then we could have brunch together. It was easy finding the health center as it is in the same medical center as my dermatologist. We went inside and she checked in. We sat in the waiting room for about five minutes before we were called in and were taken to a room which looked like an office. I started to get worried because, this didn't feel normal to me. Two women then walked in and introduced themselves to me. One was the doctor who performed the biopsy, the other was a social worker.... and the doctor informed us my mom has breast cancer. I literally felt the room spin on me. I must have obviously reeled or showed something because they wanted to make sure i was ok. I wasn't but i tried to compose myself. The doctor told us about what was found, and the plan. They had a team of doctors... a surgeon, a oncologist, a radiological oncologist who would be working with her along with the social worker. The social worker would be there for my mom thru things and we were given the information on what we needed to do. They also said the surgeon would come to the womens health center the next week to check her over. I am thankful and appreciative that the Women's health center found my mom's cancer so we can do something about it. I am also happy so many of the services are there and will be there like the social worker and the radiological oncologist. At the center i noticed that there is also a wig center located inside that my mother may end up having to use. Like i said, this was difficult to experience and write about. All i can say is this... if you are a woman, get routine mammograms. Get checked out!

    My mom started chemo in January 3rd of this year under the care of Dr. Xiusheng Qin. I got to speak…read morequite a bit with Dr. Qin and interact with his staff frequently while my mother was under their care. They are knowledgable, caring, hardworking and amazing people. I remember our first conversation in December of 2021 with Dr. Qin where we found out how serious my mother's cancer was. What originally was thought was stage 1 was a more serious stage 3a. She needed chemo and my mom was presented with options on what type of chemo treatments she would take. He gave us pros and cons. When we chose, he warned us. Chemo/cancer treatment is a long process. Cancer is not something that can be instantly defeated, its a marathon... not a just a race. Those words kept crossing through my mind. As i saw my mother greatly weaken and almost wither away, as i spent sleepless nights with her when she would faint, or throw up or just be in immense pain. Its been a terrible ordeal for her. She was so weak, there were days she couldn't move from her bed and required me and my brother to help her move around the house. Her immune system almost disappeared as sometimes her white blood cell count was so small, the machine couldn't read it and had to be manually counted by the staff. This necessitated her getting injections to stimulate the production of white blood cells. Chemo also messed with my moms ability to eat, and keep food down. It was a struggle to get her to eat sometimes and I took Dr.Qin's advice that it doesn't matter how she gets it, but calories matter. On many weeks though, my brother and I had to take her into Dr. Qin's office so she could get potassium and iv fluids whenever she got too weak. The staff where always there for us, helping where they could and especially giving my mom emotional support when she needed it. I remember when one of the nurses reassuring my mom that there is hope and she could beat her cancer as my mom was in tears. On March 31st, my mom finished her chemo. My mom was able to take part in this ritual where the doctor and staff watch on as the person who finished the treatment ring this large bell to signal the end of their treatment. Next to the bell is a sign that reads: "Supporting the fighters, admiring the survivors, honoring the taken, and never giving up hope." My mom got to ring that bell, she was so weak she had to do it from a wheelchair. She cried and thanked the staff for everything they did for her. I have to say, i admire Dr.Qin and his staff, truly they are heroes for what they do! Mom's next step is radiation. All i have is hope, hope that in the end she will beat her cancer. Dr. Qin and his staff did a lot for us and helped us on this 2nd part on this marathon. Again to Dr. Qin and his staff: Thank you!
