Mom’s bucket list before she goes/Mors sidste ønske inden hun forsvinder

-- English further down --

Min mor har i 13 år nu været konstant syg. Da jeg var 5 år fik hun konstateret brystkræft i stadie 3. Men hun kæmpede hårdt, og hun overlevede. For min skyld. Hun har været igennem den hårde smertefulde behandling, og har skulle tage piller i 8 år fra hun fik konstateret kræft. Da hun endelig var færdig med at tage piller mod kræften efter 8 år, gik der ikke mere end to måneder, da jeg lagde mærke til hendes øjne var blevet gule. Hun tog på hospitalet og fik konstateret autoimmun hepatitis.

Endnu en sygdom.

Lægerne mener at hendes 8 år med behandling og div. piller har forvirret hendes immunsystem, så immunsystemet er begyndt at angribe hendes lever. Altså, autoimmun hepatitis. Hun fik der af vide hun kun skulle tage piller i 3 år mere og så skulle det hele gerne se bedre ud...

Der er nu gået 5 år efter hun fik konstateret autoimmun hepatitis, og hun er endnu ikke stoppet på piller.

Under kræften gik min mor igennem mange ting. Hun mistede sine æggestokke, simpelt fordi lægerne var bange for hun ville få kræft der. Det har taget meget hårdt på min mor. Hun har altid gerne ville givet mig en søster eller bror, samt føler hun at en del af hendes 'kvindelighed' er blevet taget væk, og at hun aldrig kan få den tilbage.

Min mor prøver at skjule det, men jeg kan godt se, hun ikke har langt igen. Jeg ved at min mor altid har ønsket at føle sig fri, i form af en tur i luftballon. Når vi ser en oppe i himlen kigger hun op på den, i flere minutter. Ja, hun kunne sagtens finde på at stå og kigge på den i timer. Fordi det får hende til at føle sig fri. Fra alle hendes sygdomme, og pillerne.

Jeg har derfor besluttet mig for at jeg vil gøre hendes ønske til en realitet. Min mor har gjort mange ting for mig, og nu er det min tur til at give tilbage. Jeg har selv et fritidsjob, men med den mængde skole jeg har og det beløb min timeløn er på, er der stadig lang vej. Derfor har jeg lavet denne her fundraising, i håb om at nogle vil hjælpe mig med at nå finale beløbet inden det er for sent.

Tak.

My mom have in 13 years now been sick constantly. When I was 5 years old, she got told by the doctors that she had breast cancer. And that it had progressed to stage III, meaning that the cancer had gotten all connected to the flesh around it. She fought hard, and she made it through. For my sake. The doctors told her to take pills for the next 8 years. When she finally had taken the pills for 8 years, no more than 2 months went past, as I noticed her eyes were looking yellow. She went to the doctors, and got told, that she now had autoimmune hepatitis.

Another one.

The doctors said that they think her 8 years full of treatments and pills, had confused her immunesystem, so that it would attack her liver. She then got told she only had to take pills for the next 3 years, and then it should look all better...

5 years have past now since she got told she had autoimmune hepatitis, and she still hasn't stopped taking pills.

Under cancer my mom went through many things. She lost her ovaries, simply, because the doctor were afraid the cancer from her breast would progress to her ovaries. That had a huge influence on my mom. She always wanted me to have a sister or a brother, and now she can't give me one. She also feels that a part of her "womaness" have been taking away from her, and that she can never have it back.

My mom tries to hide it from me, but I do notice, that she does not have many years left. I know my mom always wanted to feel free, in the way of an air balloon. When we look up at the sky and notice an air balloon, then my mom will always stand for minutes, even hours if she had the time, to look at it. Because it makes her feel free. From all of the sickness, and the pills.

I therefore decided to make her wish a reality. My mom have done many things for me, and now it is my turn to give her something in return. I do have a part-time job, but with the amount of school I have to go to, and the amount I get payed, there's still a long way to reach the goal. I therefore decided to make this fundraising, in hope that someone will help me reach the final goal, before it's too late.

Thank you.
