Update on my mom

My mom had her mastectomy today. They think they got it all and wasn't in the lymph nodes. They will know for sure after they do more test, but so far it looks good. It was amazing how many people came to show their support and be with us while she had her surgery. She will be getting out of the hospital tomorrow, and she will be coming here to stay with us for a few days. Thanks for all your prayers.

May 19th

Yesterday, May 19th would have been my grandfather’s 97th birthday. May 19th now has new significance; it is the day we found out my mama has breast cancer. This was a total shock. After her first biopsy they said it wasn’t cancer, but could become cancer. After they removed the mass last Friday they said they got it all. We thought that was going to be the end of it. She went in for her follow up yesterday, and received the news nobody wants to hear, cancer. Her options are a lumpectomy and radiation, or a mastectomy. She was in such shock yesterday, she couldn’t make a decision. Right now we don’t know what will be next. I will update when I know more. I’m sure this goes without saying, but please keep her in your prayers
