Sarah Speaks It

As a follow up to the last post about my mother's cancer journey, she is doing great.  I've said from the start that she had been touched by God in this situation and she truly has.  Her follow up PET scan revealed that while the cancer isnt gone, she has substantially improved. Now, I don't know what exactly that means except that she's getting better. Isn't that all that matters? She has to compelete two more chemo traetments and then have another scan and treatment will be discussed at that point. This is really the best case scenario, again! God is good, ALL THE TIME!!!!

What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.  But what if it does kill you? Where do the people that love you find their strength? In January, my mom started acting very different.  Her speech was slurred, she was slow to respond, she had visibly lost weight and something was just off. My sister and I finally talked her into going to the hospital, for fear that she had a stroke. She failed the touch your finger to your nose test miserably.  They ran a multitude of tests before admitting her to the hospital.  Turns out she had low potassium and extremely low magnesium. They treated her for that and dehydration while still running tests. She had CT scans, MRI's, x rays, and lots of blood work. Eventually two doctors entered the room to discuss the CT scan results. They discovered a mass in her right lung. Immediately my heart skipped a beat. I grabbed my moms hand and just squeezed it so she knew I was there. Where do you we go from here? They referred us to an oncologist, Dr. T.
