I just wanted to let you ladies know that Mom has been at a doctor's appointment for an hour already this morning. If you could just keep her in your thoughts and prayers today, we'd really appreciate it!

The news today wasn't at all what we hoped it would be, but my mom is strong and she will beat this.

She has another appointment tomorrow at 9 for a CT scan and a bone scan to see if it has spread at all so if you could be thinking of her tomorrow morning, please do.

She's in a lot of pain now from the biopsy.

Thanks, Angie, for letting us know that your Mom is having a bad day. She has been in my thoughts and prayers ever since you told us that she had problems.

This is a hard time for you all. I'm sending you prayers and keeping you in my heart. I'm so sorry you have to go through this. Please give Mom a hug from me.

She's going to be fine at the end of this road.

Thanks ladies. We really appreciate all of your encouragement and support during this difficult time. Friendship is so important right now and we truly do need as much of it as we can get.

I am spending the night with Mom tonight so that I can go with her to her appointments tomorrow. We are REALLY REALLY hoping for good news. Brendon is in a nearby city taking care of the teenager and dogs we are responsible for this week, but he is going to meet up with Mom and me as soon as his class is over at 10:15. There's another appointment with the surgeon next Thursday, but we are taking this one day at a time...

Angie, I'm so glad I checked in this evening. I've had little sleep, as I took my mother to ER last night, she's still there.

Debbie, we love you!!! Please know you're in our thoughts, hearts and prayers.

I gave her a hug for you Mandy!

It was hard to see her go through all of those tests and stuff today. It broke my heart to watch her have to drink 2 whole bottles of really gross looking "barium sulfate" so that her CT scan would be easier to read. I wished more than anything I could've done it for her...

We didn't get any results or information today because the tests take a while to process, but hopefully we'll get good news on Thursday (her next appointment).

Thanks Angie, you guys have been on my mind all day. It must have been heartbreaking to see your mom like that, i can imagine.
Stay strong girl, and hugs to you!

Thanks Mandy!

I forgot to mention the "positives" from today. So they gave mom an IV and filled her full of radioactive chemicals while they were giving her a CT scan and also before. We had to wait three hours while her bones absorbed the radiation. Anyway, all day Brendon and I have been making "radiation" jokes like "Mom, please don't use your radioactive superpowers on me!" or "Are you going to microwave us?" or "Don't touch me, I don't want to be radioactive too!" It has definitely been pretty funny and uplifting during a stressful time. It's good to see Mom smile...

Please keep us informed Angie. To think we're both having to worry about our Mothers so much. It is hard watching the tests, etc. they have to go through. I'll keep your Mom in my prayers.
