Hi everyone. Hope you all had a wonderful Mothers Day. I did too but also got some bad news. My daughter Bev has breast cancer again. 3 yrs ago she had a lumpectomy and they went in three separate times to get clear margins.
A sore came up on the side of her breast that had had the surgery. Terrible thing about the size of a nickel. She treated at home with antibiotic cream, which didnt touch it. At the dr's office he cultured it to determine what bacteria it may be so he could treat her accordingly. Two weeks later he is mystified. It is gut bacteria. He has no idea how it may have come to be on the breast. Turns out after an ultrasound they find the lump under it. That has led to more tests this wed. Dr didnt sound very hopeful that it hadnt spread/ She has already decided on the double mastectomy with reconstruction. The recommmeddations for therapies will come after the test results.
I havent been doing well with this. I cry alot and pray alot. It seems like a nightmare that has haunting me. I cant help her like a normal mom can cause I cant see. I cant help with the housework, laundry and meals. No I am really not feeling sorry for myself. It is what it is.
So her ladies group has taken over everything from transportaion to meals. They dont want the family burdened with anything. I am so grateful.
She has a 11 yr old daughter and 16 yr old son still at home. My prayer is it is contained to one area. Would some of you who have prayer chains put Bev on your list? I would be so grateful cause I know Prayer changes things.
Other than this....I am just fine.
