Mom's surgery & cancer

Well as most of you "might" know. My mom was diagnosed with cancer, breast cancer. She was pulled in quickly for the biopsy, surgery and now for the radiation and HOPEFULLY not the chemo, but we'll see how that goes.

As far as the surgery, she has done that and is not in as much pain as she would have thought. The dr came out to my step-dad and said "The lump was the size of the tip of a pen and we removed 1 lympnode, and were pretty sure it's not cancerous." Whew, relief. So were awaiting the results and hopefully tomorrow I will have some news on the chemo. :) I'm so thrilled for her that they were able to help her quickly and that God willing, she found this pretty early on and that made all the difference in the world.

I thank God for this and hopefully this will help other women that need to get checked... you can never imagine (well most part I didn't) that it could happen to someone you love and someone so close to your heart....

Thank you God for our "small" yet HUGE miracles! :)

I'm so glad that your Mom is going to be ok.

I know that it must be a scary time for both her and the rest of your family.

I truly am glad that your mom is going to be ok. She is blessed to have such a wonderful family to support her in her journey. I hope all the tests come back safe and she continues to do well with whatever treatment she has to take from here.
