Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Hi Rita, Glad you danced at the wedding. I know it made your day. Now regarding mom I will definitely keep her in prayer. My mom had breast cancer in her late 70's. She had a mastectomy and she was fine afterward for many years after. With much prayer, the Lord saw her through it. But the Lord can also fix it for your mom so that it won't be malignant, right? Let's join together in prayer. Keep us updated. Take care and... God Bless Yolanda Good News/Bad New Hi All: Have had a lot going on this past month. Good News first: This past Saturday a daughter of some very good friends of our got married. She is 25 and I have known her since she was 2. I always kidded her and promised her that someday I would dance at her wedding. Well on Saturday I danced (Glen 's - Moonlight Serenade). Everybody cleared the dance floor and applauded us ( was my partner of course), it was quite a moment, especially where I was in my electric chair all thru the wedding. It really confused people who didn't know me, to see me walk out and dance. Now the bad news: My mother who is 87, just revealed to us she found a large lump on her right breast. She kept it to herself for 5 weeks, as not to upset us as we had so much going on this past month. She had a mammogram on Friday, and goes for a biopsy tomorrow. Her doctor's are 90% sure it malignant (hate that word). So prayer's are needed. I know I can depend on you guys, your always there. Thanks and God Bless! Rita Till next time!

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Hi Rita, It's too bad about your Mom. At that age, it's hard to go through anything and we all get panicky about the " C " word. My prayers will be added to those who have already responded. However, her advanced age is in her favor if, indeed, the lesion is malignant. With reduced levels of hormones, breast cancer is much less aggressive and not so life threatening as it can be in younger women. The latest studies are even saying that women over 70 don't even need the follow up radiation therapy, so that's reassuring to know that it's not considered so serious a situation in the elderly. Mind you, I'm not suggesting that anyone refuse radiation if it's advised by their doctor. Please keep us informed and tell her that she has a big cheering section.
