The Results Are In

The doctor came in with the pathology results today. The cancer had barely started to spread to one of the nearby lymph nodes. He said that it was also trying to get into a nearby blood vessel, but hadn't made it through yet. So, they were able to catch it before it had spread too much. What a blessing! She will meet with an oncologist next, who will determine how much and what kind of treatment she will require. The lung doctor said that she would most likely need some sort of chemo (at least) because it had spread some. She is still in the hospital, but may get to go home tomorrow or the next day.

Thanks again to all of you for your continued prayers and support!
