  "account": "In 2025, the author's mother was diagnosed with uterine cancer, which later progressed to Stage 4. The author became her sole caregiver, attending all chemotherapy sessions and handling many responsibilities on her mother's behalf. Initially, the author felt hopeful after the tumor was removed during surgery, but the doctor later revealed that cancerous lymph nodes were discovered. The author's mother had a hysterectomy to remove the large tumor pressing on her uterus. The author, who had faced her own health issues, including bone cancer, found comfort in her role as her mother's caregiver. Despite the challenges, the author's love for her mother strengthened, and she found her own strength in supporting her mother through this difficult time.",
