What in the heck is myxoid chondrosarcoma??

Myxoid Chondrosarcoma...those two words are the ones that have turned all of our lives upside down!

It seems that no matter where I look I get the same general definition of it:

  "Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMCS) is an uncommon clinicopathologically well-defined tumor, but its pathogenesis and biologic behavior are poorly understood. "

Makes sense to me!  Not!!!  All I know is that my Dad has this virtually unknown cancer.  This cancer never goes into remission which means that he will have to fight it for the rest of his life.  I do know one thing:  CANCER SUCKS!!!!
 
 
You go your whole life knowing your parents will go before you (God willing for them).  I watched my Mom lose her parents and although I was young I still hate myself for not being closer to both of them.  I loved my Nana (my Mom's Mom) soooo much!!!  My Grandpa too but I was always closer to my Nana.  I am so afraid that I disappointed them with my actions before she died.  They were nothing bad but typical "pre-teen" antics that I am sure they didn't agree with. 


 
I can only hope that I haven't disappointed my parents.  I haven't always made the most logical "socially accepted" choices in my life.  I have always made my choices based on what I felt was right...screw society and what it told me...something I think my Mom and Dad taught me from an early age, although they may not agree with that lol.  It may have come back and bit them in the butt in later years but I am one tough woman who knows what I want and will fight to the end of the world for it.  That I know, I can thank my awesome parents for!!!
 
I hope that it doesn't seem that I am taking over the blog for Dad but I am who I am because of him and my Mom!!  I love my Dad more than anything...I love my Mom more than anything...I had the pleasure of growing up and having the best childhood that anyone could wish for. 
 
I remember being in the 4th or 5th grade standing in the hot lunch line when my neighbor Mando teased me and told me that my Dad was a plumber!  My Dad was in construction, he wasn't a "plumber!!"  I took off after him (mind you, I was probably 5'6" at the time...a freakishly tall child and he was maybe 5').  The principle grabbed my arm as I chased him through the lunch room and I pulled my arm out of his grasp, which I know pissed him off.  I ended up spending the next week eating lunch in Mr. Morenci's office...little did I know at the time how much plumbers made!!!  I would have just sat back and laughed...nonetheless, he was insulting my Dad and I was gonna beat him down!!!  I still have that attitude!!  You mess with my family or anyone I love, and you face the "wrath of Kim!" 
 
Cancer is going to have to face the Wrath of Kim now!!  I will do anything in my power to eradicate this awful, cruel disease that takes the "cream of the crop" for it's own selfish needs!
 
Cancer....watch out because I can run much faster than I could in 4th or 5th grade and I will NOT stop chasing you for attacking my Dad!
