My mom found out on Friday that she has cancer again. We aren't sure yet what type of cancer it is, they will do a larger biopsy soon to see exactly what we're up against. I'm going to go home from Nov 13-17 to be with her for a few days. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers.

Reenie, I am so sorry to learn about your mother having to go through cancer again. I will be praying for her and the family.
My son-in-law just went through treatment for cancer. He came through it and is on the bounce back. I know it is hard on the family not just the person with the cancer. So remember to also take care of yourself.
Donna B. HCM & ICD. 2 sons with HCM. Brother passed away from HCM at the age of 39. Mother has HCM.
I hope they caught it early enough to make the cure quick and easy.
I gratefully accept all the blessings G-d has bestowed on me, but I still don’t think I’m equipped to offer Him advice. I can only hope that in His wisdom he will grant your mom a return to health and a long life.

I am so sorry your mom has cancer again. I hope and pray all will be deciphered and they will be able to help rid her of this cancer soon. I pray that she is able to maintain a positive outlook and that the treatments do not make her so ill and compromise her spirit.
In prayer,
Pam
