• Mom's Big Day

  Well, here it is, the middle of the night again, and I can't sleep.

  The good thing is, is that the LO is sleeping away!    And I am happy. He is a little restless, but I think that is because of an itchy throat, which is never fun.

  Anyways, tomorrow is the "Big Day".

  Oh, I guess I have not shared this here yet.  You see, I found out not too long ago that Mom has been diagnosed with breast cancer.  She will be 60 this year, so it is not considered genetic (they say genetic B/C happens before the age of 50) and I have nothing to fear for myself or my daughters.  But, I do worry for Mom.

  You see, she began having symptoms months and months ago.  But she never did anything about it.  Even though she is an RN and has worked with oncology patients for years and years (as long as I have been alive).  The "mass" is now 7cm+ and there is also now another "mass" 3.5cm elsewhere as well as two 3cm lesions on the liver.

  Let's just say...It does not look good.

  What may have been a simple removal and further prevention has turned into something large and spreading.

  Now, I totally believe that God is well able to heal this, even if it is the worst case scenario (which I don't think we are quite there).  But, I do think that the doctors may not have the expertise to do this.  And that is fine, as we are relying on God and not man anyways.

  I don't really know where I am going with this.  I am still a bit hurt that I have been accused of "spreading rumors" when it is not true.  (I even have people "praying" for me, "the rumor spreader".)     <insert a shaking head smilie here>  And I don't know for sure that anyone knows where the supposed rumors started at (i.e. me), and I am not quite sure of the person that took it back to her either.  But no matter who, it is out there now and can never be taken back (and is continuing to spread).

  But, back to the story.  Tomorrow is the Big Day.  Mom is having surgery, a single sided mastectomy.  The Doc will not talk about anything else until this is done and he sees what he finds.  So, I am not sure where we are going from here.

  Mom seems to think that the other "mass" and the liver lesions are unrelated to the B/C.  But this is the way I see it.  It is more likely that they are related to the B/C, and if they are, then things look really bad.  However, if they are not, then I am more inclined to think things are even worse!  Because, if they are not related, that means she has more than one problem that is affecting more than one part of her body, and I would have to guess that there is even something more behind it all.

  Anyways.  Tomorrow is her Big Day.  I am praying that she comes out of it fine and God touches her with healing for everything else.

  Gotta run for now.  Life has so much going on that I am just barely able to keep up.
