Oh, September. I’ve never wanted a month to not exist more than September 2016. I’m sure September is a lovely month for someone else.  Perhaps someone is celebrating a birthday or a wedding or a new job.  But it is not an exciting month for us.

September is the month of the big scan and doctors appointments and BRCA results.  September is decisions and planning and waiting and family meetings and more waiting. September is the ultimate roller coaster and I hate roller coasters. September blows. September felt far away when her scan was scheduled and now it’s here. Yes it could be good. Yes the tumors could’ve shrunk but even so I don’t think any of us are ready for what they might say. So you can go away now September. Oh and happy national ovarian cancer awareness month.
