I recently got into watching this season's episodes of the NBC TV show Parenthood. Omar and i first started watching it when it came out a couple of season's ago but never kept up with the show. This season I became interested in it because one of the main characters was diagnosed with breast cancer. I wanted to see how a TV show portrayed this and if it came close to reality.
It does.
Now the character isn't quite like me. She is a bit older than me (she has a daughter in college but also a young baby), her cancer is 1.2 cm (mine was larger, I think around 3 cm), she has a lumpectomy (I had a double mastectomy) but the feelings, emotions and worries are all the same. If you want to know what it has been like for Omar and I please watch the show. You have a look inside what our life has been like over the past few months.
I don't know how this season ends. We just watched the episode where she has surgery and finds out about chemo. But, I hope her journey goes as well as mine did.
