I feel like all I have done the past few weeks is absorb terrible news.
My mom was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and as I am typing, undergoing her double mastectomy. In the Spring of 2008, she was told about abnormal results and had a lumpectomy to remove the carcinoma. Every six months that followed she was seen by her doctor for follow up testing. Not until August of 2009 was she given another dose of news. She was told a mass was in her breast and it was small enough to just watch. This Spring, she was seen again and this time the mass was much larger and in both breasts.
She now is having the mastectomy to eliminate all tissue infected with Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS). At this point, her doctors are unsure if the carcinoma is in her lymph nodes or other parts of her system. Obviously, we will be praying that removing her breast tissue is the end of this nasty situation.

My mom has been very strong and laughs at the thought of having new perky breasts that will make a Harley Davidson Vest look Divine - so here is a little joke for you, mom.
You'll never have this issue!
