Mom went to hospital on Monday to undergo further tests. She had an additional biopsy and a number of uncomfortable tests (including a "Spinal Tap" which was the ultimate confirmation that my mom ROCKS!) - a joke apart, her condition is a lot more complex than we would have ever imagined. She has a form of cancer called "lymphoma". However, she is being dismissed today and, after her results are out, she will be expected to undego two cycles of chemotherapy.
I know that a number of you guys have been praying for my mother and it definitively shows. Despite all the upheaval, she is in much better spirits and appears remarkably confident. Also, she will be home for Christmas which is absolutely awesome.
Thank you so much for your love, support and prayers. They are what keeps us going and strong. We could not have done without you! Prayer requests? Guess I am still hoping for a miracle - no one likes to see those they love suffer; however, if the healing is going to be chemically induced, I would pray mom stays strong and doesn't go through pain. Also pray for us as a family - we need to be strong and supportive and, sometimes, it is hard.
