Mmm. Yay.


Several days ago, the results of my mom's biopsy came back. Two of the three "lumps" found were not cancerous. The third(and biggest) is cancerous though, but considering that's the only one that's "dangerous" right now, she can just have the cancer removed without having the whole breast removed.
The surgery is scheduled for sometime in spring break, and she'll start radiation about a month after that. Not sure about any other details.

So, all in all, results are better than what we expected, but still tough. Keep praying.

Fortunately, my mom and I found ONE weekend this spring that doesn't interfere with surgery, recovery, radiation, or any other plans, which means we can take a trip to Massachusetts to preview Hallmark... as long as we can afford it of course. :-P
But, I'm happy to hear that we're actually getting somewhere.

I expected to face many challenges during my senior year. College decisions, finding a job, living on my own, preparing for graduation, etc.

Who would'a thought that so many of the answers to these challenges would be on hold because my mom would have breast cancer?

Hm.
Didn't see that one coming.



With that said, here's a prayer list I need you guys to help me with.

1) Pray that mom's appointments will be scheduled and over with.
2) Pray for successful treatments with minimal damage.
3) Pray that I can come up with the means to visit the colleges I am interested in(as of now, a college-visiting trip is on hold until I found out if mom will be healthy enough to take me).
4) Ability to afford treatments and college.
5) Wisdom for the right college choice
6) Find a job/internship in the field I want to go into(Photography/graphic design/business).
5) Faith and strength




Blessings,
Katie
