Most of you know about my mom's diagnosis of breast cancer last month. It has been a challenging month for all of us in regards to dealing with it emotionally, and helping mom through the surgery/recovery. I just want to thank those of you who have helped me and my family out lately (whether it be watching the kids, bringing us dinner, praying for us, cards, e-mails, phone calls). It has meant so much to us...to know we are cared for and loved.
Mom's final pathology report came back, showing the cancer had not spread anywhere else, that the margins of the area they cut out were clear, and that overall, it all looked good. She starts her radiation therapy this Wednesday (it will be 5 days a week for 6 weeks). The main side effect to the radiation will probably be fatigue (with the worst being in week #3). She also has another appt with an oncologist on 10/27 to discuss chemo (if needed) and what medications she will need to take for the next few years.
In the meantime, she has gone back to work (half days only for now...due to the fatigue she is having). Please continue to pray for her (and us) as we go through this trial. We are so thankful it got "caught" early, and KNOW the Lord is in control. Sometimes it's just so hard to let go of the need to control, and put our trust in HIM!
