Well, we have been to the oncologist today and received some upsetting news. It seems that Mother's colon cancer has returned and it's pretty aggressive. She also has cancer cells in her abdomen. It's obviously not what we wanted to hear. The Dr. (a wonderful, knowledgeable man) discussed options from doing nothing and giving her very little time left with us to doing chemotherapy. It was her choice and she has decided to go forth with the chemo treatments. She will go on Tuesday to have a port put in and then start her first treatment on Weds. the 19th of January. As expected we are all in shock and disbelief. However, we will continue to have faith that the good Lord will see her through these treatments and bless all of us with a little more time with Mom. The Dr. said if all goes well with treatments she could have another "year or two" with us.
She is very tired today. Very sad as well as all of us but she still has fight left in her and that's what she is going to do. I will keep posting on her progress. Thanks again for all the prayers. It is so very much appreciated by Mom and our entire family.
