The Shell

So as most of you know we had a little scare with my mom a couple weeks ago. My dad found a lump on her back while they were in San Fran and wanted to make sure it wasn't anything too serious. So they went to the doc and they did a biopsy on it and it came back positive for the same cancer that she had already had twice. As you can imagine we were all a little scared but she remained very positive through this whole thing. Wednesday I took her to get a pet scan to make sure that the cancer was only in that one spot. We got there at 11:00 and we were gone by 2:00. By 5:30 she had already gotten a call from her doc that it was good news and that it was only in that one spot. We were very relieved. SO....on Monday she will have the lump removed and then from there she will start Radiation. No Chemo!!!!! Thank goodness!!!! I know a lot of you have been very concerned but please know that we are all ok. My mom is great and she has very high spirits. As she said....Its just another bump in the road. She is a very strong woman and I look up to her a lot. She continues to go through and experience things that I hope and pray that I will never have to do. So just remember her and my family in your prayers on Monday and throughout the next few months. I appreciate everything that has been done in behalf of my family through this past little bit. We love you all.....

We are so happy that the cancer is just in that one spot! Good luck with the surgery - get excited for dinner all week from the friends. I know that none of the dishes will be "shell quality" but we'll give it all we got! We love the Millers!
