    Just asking for some Thoughts and Prayers *Update*

    In 1990 my Mom had a bout with cancer, and had a single mastectomy. But.... in the end was able to overcome it. Now 23 years later cancer has reared it's ugly head again. I just learned yesterday, that the biopsy they took last week shows as cancerous. They havn't given a date yet on when , but the Doc is confident it was caught early enough that an operation would be successful. But again, this will entail another masectomy either a partial or full. A rough surgery for any woman, much less one that is 74 years young. I would like to ask all to keep her in your hearts, minds and prayers.


    Just an update. My Mom will have her surgery on May 8th. I appreciate and thank all of you for your prayers and ask that you keep her in your thoughts for a successful surgery.

    Thanks,
    Smitty

    Will pray for your Mom Smitty. I'm going through same issues with 31 year old daughter. At least she has youth on her side.

    My mother has a racial mastectomy decades ago and we talked about it and it did change her for the rest of her life. She has been gone now 7 years dad 8 miss them both. It was nice to be able to pick up the phone and ask them questions. Dad especially he was an Agricultural/Hydraulic engineer very smart man.
