I have my audition for University of the Pacific tomorrow, in hopes that I will secure some scholarship money and a seat in their conservatory. I also found out today that my mom, who has been getting treated for breast cancer, actually has bone cancer and the doctors have given her 2 years max to live. My dad told me this today, and obviously I was shocked. She wants very much to protect my sister and I, and the fact that she was told this news 2 months ago kind of upsets me. She has chosen to do an experimental drug therapy instead of undergoing radiation like the doctors want. My sister is barely 15, which means she will probably be 16 if/when my mom passes. What am I going to do with her, or even tell her for that matter. I'm choosing not to deal with this until after my audition...but she's been asking for grandchildren. I don't feel ready for kids, but I want so badly for her to meet them when they do come around. This whole situation just feels very unfair....
