Wow...

Mom's first Doctor's appointment since the surgery was this past Thursday. The Doctor was singing praises to my mom because of what was found in the test results from both breasts. Backing up a little bit...originally, the Doctor found a tiny precancer spot in my mom's right breast and for precautionary purposes decided it was best to not just have the spot removed from the right side but to have both breasts removed. At this point, the left breast was thought to be fine, they just didn't want to have to worry about this cancer recurring later in the left side. The results she received on Thursday was that the left breast had actually started to develop Ductal Carcinoma (a different kind then what was found in the right side) which had not even been caught yet. The Cancer was in the early stages, but, it was Cancer and had not traveled to the lymph yet in either side. What?!?! This confirmed that moving forward with the double mastectomy was by far the best decision. This truly takes my breath away. Just when you are in complete awe of how big God is, he sweeps you off your feet showing you yet again his perfect plan. My mom is doing really well, and goes back to the doctor at the end of the week. She has been waking up with more and more energy everyday. She is such a busy body and we have to constantly remind her when she has the urge to go clean the windows or walk a mile, that she will regret it the next day. She is starting to understand that. :) She's amazing...I'm so lucky.
