Update on Mom's biopsy results, as some of you already know from me, have read Joi's blog, or you may not know, dad, Joi and myself all went with my mom to her doctor's appointment today. The doctor gave her the bad news that her breast biopsy results were diagnosed as cancerous. Mom will be having a double mastectomy within the next 2-3 weeks. At that time, the doctor will perform the mastectomies and he will take out lymph nodes and check them for cancer. If the nodes are cancer free, then all mom will have to recuperate. If the nodes are cancerous, then she will have to undergo chemotherapy and radiation. The doctor seems to be hopeful, as the lymphatic tissue he removed from the breast and her blood, all tested cancer free. Our prayers are that the lymph nodes are cancer free as well. We love her with all our heart and want her to be around for a long time to come. We feel God is taking care of her and leave her in his more than capable, wonderful, loving hands. I love you MOM! Dad, Tom, Joi, Dave and myself all love you more than you will ever know. Our family appreciates any and all prayers for mom.
We received additional bad news...my dad's sister, Elva Stauffer, passed away last night. If I am correct, she was 91 years old. We love her and her infectious laughter and wit will be missed. The visitation is Sunday, March 9, 2008 from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm, at Elias Smith Funeral Home in Bethalto, IL. The funeral is Monday, March 10, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. Don & Rick may you have God's peace at this time and know that we are all praying for you.
