From a son's loving, often heartbreakingly poignant
perspective, Zack Urlocker blogs his mother's fight against ovarian cancer in Tuesdays With Mary . Until recently, Mary was in hospice care, and not
doing too well. However, in a recent turn of events, the doctors have cancelled hospice care for Mary, based on her
continuing improvement and strength. Mary will resume chemotherapy to battle ovarian cancer. Urlocker keeps this online
diary to let others know how his mother is doing and how family and friends are coping.Chemotherapy is not a walk in the park, and no one would wish the ordeal of chemotherapy on anyone. However, for Mary, and her family and friends, this new direction is an occasion of hope. As Mary said, "Cancel the funeral. I just told people I had cancer to see who my friends really are."
1. This is nothing short of inspiration! I hope see continues to do well...
