There's good news, but...



After a month of agony waiting for my mother's tests results and waiting for the second doctor's opinion, we were finally given an answer. The cells found in Mama's right breast are not malignant, after all. The second doctor had breast ultrasound, mammography, and scintimammography performed on my mother. And, as it turned out, they were benign.

My mother was to continue taking her P500/day (for four years) pill for cancer. That was better news for us, than the first option we were given (a surgery, again, and possibly chemotherapy).

However, during the series of tests performed, my mother underwent blood tests. We found out she had diabetes.

So: it's cancer and diabetes. I don't know how that sounds. BUT I'm still thankful the news we got was still better. The P500/day deal was better than months of chemotherapy sessions and hospitalizations.

Thank you for everyone who helped us pray.
