Not one that I really want to add........

My mom's 1st breast cancer has come back. It's not beatable. We got the news Monday. She got breast cancer back in '91 and was given low odds then. She beat them. She got a second breast cancer in her other breast in '98. She had good odds then. But this time they have said no. The AVERAGE time for someone w/her cancer, etc, is 2 years. It could be one, but 5 is the longest. We got 17 more years than we ever thought we'd have tho. She got to see all of her children graduate high school, college, marry, most of her grandchildren. The cancer is contained to the lymph system for now, but it will eventually get to a major organ.

So priorities are being rearranged. We are trying to pull off a family vacation for 13 SOON. Probably March, but December if necessary.

Mom is 'cleaning' her house as well. I can't blame her. I'd be doing the same thing.

Of course, we all know that odds mean nothing. Miracles still happen. We'll pray for one.

I will be praying for a miracle right along with you, and I`m sure others will be, too. Keep updating!
