Quick Updates

I just got off the phone with mom. She said that she didn't start chemo yesterday because they have to do more tests now. They found something on her lungs and something in her chest. They call it "suspicious cells". They're not saying it's cancer but they are going to find out for sure what it is before they proceed. She also had an allergic reaction to the tape that holds in the port on her chest. So, she didn't get really great news and she didn't get to get the ball rolling with the chemo. But she is holding up okay and all the support from family sure does help! She has appts. tomorrow and next week and will find out what is going on with those cells and then perhaps start chemo next week Thursday.

My BIL had an angiogram yesterday and they found a 95-100% blockage in an artery so they put in a stint. He is having some issues with his stomach and throwing up a lot so that isn't fun but looks like the heart attack did not cause damage so we thank God for that.

My sister had an appt with her oncologist yesterday to talk about possibilities for surgery or what to do about the cancer left in her lungs. Sounds like she didn't found out much except that they don't know what to do because she has had all the chemo and radiation she can have for now. So, she has to wait and see what they come up with and go from there. I hope and pray that they do something. I can't imagine them just saying that can't do anything now. Do they do that???

Our family has been really lucky for so long and now all of the sudden all these things are happening. I am so glad that we have extended family and friends who are praying because I know there is power in prayer and this will all start to get better soon!!

Thank you ALL and bless you for caring about us.
