Update on Mom

Well we went in on Tuesday for the visit with the Oncologist. Not so good news. Mom had stage 3 breast cancer + the HER2 (the most aggressive). At this moment there could be microscopic cancer cells floating throughout her body and we would not know until they settled and started to grow and then it would be too late the doc said. So the decision has been made to do Chemotherapy. She will start on Wednesday the 24th. She will do 6 treatments every 3 weeks. Along with that she will be another treatment for that she will do every week for 18 weeks. Then when she is finished with all of that she will need to take a pill for 5 years. Her chances are great with doing the treatment. If the cancer has not comeback within ten years then most likely it wont. I pray this all will work for her and that she wont have too difficult time with all the treatments.

I am so sorry to hear about all she is going to have to go through. It sounds so tough. I have a girlfriend whose child is going through chemo right now and I know how hard it is. I am glad to hear that she has such good chances though. What a blessing modern medicine is. Your family will be in our prayers.
