Hey guys, we just found out today, that my moms good friend may have an 80% chance of having cancer! They were our neighbors for quite awhile!!! And its hard to imagine her even having cancer!
Here is what her daughter wrote.........
So, just tonight, I found out the terrible news that my mom may have an 80% chance of having cancer in her lymphnodes. She has had a catscan and a x-ray that has been taken. Next week we will find out about the x-ray and they are soon setting an appointment up with a cancer doctor to get a better biopsy on the situation. They have told her that she will have to do chemo. :(It is all so sudden and really scary and sad. My mom is scared, I know, but she is a strong woman. We have just all been saddened tonight. My heart will barely beat, I am just on edge. Cancer is so scary and such a hard thing to go through. Mostly because it so easily spreads and is not set on having a cure. This past year and half, I have cried on the phone and really felt pain for one of my best friend's whose mom died of cancer at a young age. It is really hard. It is so uncertain and painful. Please pray for my family as we take this new bump in life. I am just crying out to God of "why?" And he knows why. But, if anything, just pray for peace of understanding and patience through this all as we find out through out the next couple weeks what all is really going on in my mom's body. I love her. She is a wonderful Christian woman. I told God tonight as I cried out to him that I wish I could take her place. I would in a heart beat. Before we found this out, we have just been so burdened with my mom's mom (my grandma) who has just recently been diagnosed with cancer in her kidney. It has been a really hard month. Please remember us in your prayers.
