Six months ago I lost my mother

A strong fighter for lymphoma that was diagnosed in 2016 with CLL

The situation get worse .. for more what we called in medicine a “ richter transformation “ change to more aggressive type of lymphoma dlbcl

At this time We had many strong, brave decisions together as I used to from the time that I raise up Im her right hand son, friend and supporter

She is the one that pushed me somehow to study medicine

Then She left me in my first clinical work after finishing university 💔

- last year was full of tought moments in the other side a lot of hopes , prays wishing good upcoming days , according to the new situation they recommend To go for CART therapy , after a month in the hospital the treatment failed .. we start with many infections , quarantines and low immunity ..

- Then in a month the disease become more resist , strong and more agressive after decision trial of low RCHOP she had a strong side effects from anemia , fatigue and her body cant back for us and recover She left us with a strong emotional memories , to hold her story for eternity She teach me the brave, to see see the cup half full in bad situation as she used to do

- She had full life during her disease workin , gardening , traveling

- She always looked for free optimism hopeful life

- I hope she have it in another quite peaceful life now !!

I just post this not to give a bad vibes

To push other to fight harder to have your own story , to stay strong

I raise up fighting cancer with my mom

I know how much its hard

But life deserve and waiting for us to have the chance as she had and fight for it

Until the last breath

Now she live in our souls heart and bodies

Sorry for the long post

I used to read updates and journeys for some of fighters here

Hope for u better days upcoming 🙏🏻

Thank you all!

So sorry to hear of the loss of your brave mother who was clearly dearly loved and inspired you to practice medicine in her name.

Thank you for your update and for your poignant words describing her fight with a very aggressive lymphoma.

No words can adequately convey comfort to you, as we'd like, but thank you for sharing the loving, brave and inspiring story of your mum. Sad though her passing is to those left behind, she is at peace now, and you have lifted us with your tribute to her.

You will go forward in the career she wanted for you, with her strength to sustain you. Wishing you all good things. x

Thank you for sharing your very caring and kind tribute to your mother. My story is very similar with my husband. He had leukemia that transformed into AML and he too fought a valent battle, but lost in the end. There is not a day go spy that I do not miss him. Congratulations on becoming a doctor. With the experience you have had caring for your mother you will be a far better doctor for it. Blessings.
