Updte on my Mom
We went and saw the Oncologist this morning. Unfortunelty the prognose is not good. We have said we were not going to tell everyone what is really going on right now but I need to share with other then my husband. She has lung cancer and because of where it is it is unoperable. THey say radiation will not work either. The doctor talked to us about Chemo and that of course is Mom's decision. The good thing is we can try it and if it does not work or she does not respond well we can stop it. THe Chemo would give her an extra six months. We were very explicit in the questions we asked and it is a stage 3 cancer and he has said a year to a year in a half maybe two if she does the Chemo. I am not sure it has totally sunk in yet but it will. I am so confused and not sure what I should do. I cant imagine leaving her side for an instant. I know God will lead me to do the right thing. She is on Oxegyn now at home. We will have an MRI on Friday of the brain, and a Thoroenteses wich is removing the liquid again from around her lung like they did down in Florida. Then she will have a Pet scan in April. I need to stay strong for my Mom just not easy. I am getting together with some old friends from High School on Saturday and looking forward to that. Will start on Sunday going to church with Mom and the rest of the family. I know that is where I need to be. (Mark srnt me an email thi morning reminding me of this) Well my wonderful friend, I guess I better go. Like I said I am not sharing this with others. Will probably send this email to Pastor Mark as well.
I Love you!
I Love you!
Michelle,
I have been keeping an eye out for an update. Thank you for letting us know what's going on.
I cannot express how sad I am to hear it's cancer.....and her prognosis.
Thankfully, your Mom is home. That's good news.
I will keep you, your Mom and family in my prayers, Michelle.
Make sure to take care of YOU.
I empathize about keeping strong for your Mom - I did the same for my Mom. :-)
I hope she tolerates the chemo well....if she chooses to take that path.
Wish I could give you a big hug. I understand how difficult it is since I've been through it.
(((((((HUG))))))))

I want to thank everyone for their continued prayers. Believe me they are being felt every day. Tomorrow we go for an MRI in the morning and then to have the fluid removed from around her lung. Will be a long day for her but when we gt home she can rest. Thank you again. We have a long road ahead but with the Grace of God and all your prayers we can do it!
