News on my mom...

[Guest guest]

Mom went to see the second doctor today and she does indeed have

cancer of the lung...slow moving cancer and for now they are leaving

it alone. Because of her age, surgery would be hard on her, the

tumor is small, and it's not causing her any major problems.

However, the doctor does suspect she has the cancer in her bones.

Next week she will be going to have radioactive dye shot into her

veins and from what I understood from mom (and I know I am going to

say this all wrong), the dye will pool into the areas that have the

cancer and it will show up on an x-ray as to how far into the bones

the cancer is. Now, please bear in mind that when mom explained this

to me earlier, she was a bit confused, so I will be talking to my

sister who was there with her for her appt. today (as was my other

sister and brother) and find out exactly what happened.

She was upbeat and refused to believe that she will be anything less

then okay. In my heart I know she will be too...she has to be. If

you look up stubborn in the dictionary, you'll find mom's name beside

the definition.

Anyway...I just thought I'd pass along the news. You all have been

so great in prayer for her and being so supportive while I get

through this along with every thing else. Tonight I will ask God to

watch over her and keep her safe. I will ask Him to comfort her if

she's scared and I will ask Him. And while she's sleeping, I will

ask that He hold her tight.

Love you all,

Donna H.
