more news on mom

well, we heard back from moms MRI today. Honestly we were expecting better news than we got. The cancer is being really aggressive and has grown significantly since it was first found. The doctor also found some new spots popping up so they are going to do a lumpectomy on the largest spot and then chemotherapy and later on radiation and possibly a mastectomy if the cancer spreads too much after the chemo. So we are facing a long road ahead and I am sure there will be days when we have both good news and bad news. But right now we are pretty much waiting for the 14th which is when mom will have her lumpectomy. This is also the same day as Jake's going away ceremony in Fayetteville so it will be a really hard day.
When the hard things in life all happen at the same time it is really hard to answer the question "why?", but it is really easy to rely on God and the strength he gives to get through even the hardest times in life. So, that is what we are going to do. We will keep praying and if it gets better then we will have a lot to praise God about and when it gets harder we will lean on Him and we WILL get through the hard times.
