In June 2011,my life changed and so did my family's.
I remember the day like it was yesterday.I came downstairs all ready for the family swim.Right before I got into the pool,my mom called me inside.She sat me down and waited for my dad and brothers to come to join us.Then,our parents told us the worst news imaginable—my dad had been diagnosed with Stage Ⅲ Colon Cancer(結(jié)腸癌).
The news hit hard of course.However,in my head,my dad was a superman.As his daughter,I knew that cancer wasn't going to beat him.I just went out and swam.
As weeks went on,life didn't change much within our house.My mom still went to work;my brothers and I still went to school;and my dad still worked while also meeting his doctor.However,I didn't realize how much this new diagnosis was going to change my life.
As treatment progressed with my dad's cancer,I couldn't depend on him for things he usually did.And with my brothers being away at college,I had to take on a lot more responsibility.But that was not the hardest part of this new journey.It was the fear.The fear that I could lose my dad.The fear that I could get a call saying that he was in bad condition.The fear that I could never talk to him again.Yet with all these fears,there was never a doubt in my mind that my dad would beat this cancer.He was a superman.
The day of my dad's surgery finally came.It was Father's Day and I had my soccer game that day.I won my battle on the field and my dad won his in the hospital.
May 2013,my dad was completely cancer free.Though this journey proved to be a few of the hardest years of my life,it also proved to me how wonderful my dad really is.
