Please join me in prayer for my Mother. She is going in today for biopsy of multiple lumps in her breast.
She is trying very hard to stay positive and not get upset until she gets the results.
My familly has been rocked by this already. We will be looking towards God for strength if the results are unfavorable.
Thank you all in advance. God Bless!

Concerned members have inquired about my Mothers condition so I thought I would update her progress here.
The lumps turned out to be a non-issue. However, upon further examination the doctor found a swollen lymph gland in her left armpit.
A needle biopsy showed a malignancy in the gland tissue. Surgery was preformed and 12 lymph nodes were removed. Two of those twelve nodes were cancerous.
Good news was that there were no signs of cancer outside those nodes. Many tests ( x-ray, ct, MRI, ect. ) were done from the waist up and nothing of detectable size was found outside of the two nodes.
The treatment plan called for 4 or 5 chemotherapies, 5 weeks of daily radiation treatments, and then follows up with another round of chemo.
Mom has just completed the last of the first round of chemo. She will begin the radiation in three weeks.
She is requiring a little more rest than before but has done very well. Only minimal nausea has been experienced so far.
She has a couple different wigs so she can change her hair to match her mood. We know we’re in trouble when Nadine (short dark brown wig) appears. LOL!!!! :~)
I thank everyone for his or her concern, support, and prayers.
God Bless!
