I'm not ready to let the whole wide world know this, so I'm only putting this notice up here, in my LJ and in my yahoo group.
My mom recently got diagnosed with breast cancer and had a couple biopsies done these past few weeks, followed by surgery this evening. The surgery itself went well, but in the process the doctors discovered another source of cancer. They're waiting for mom to be lucid enough to discuss further treatment- most likely anti-cancer pills and maybe some radiation.
Fortunately, the form of breast cancer they found is one of the more common varieties and has shown to be susceptible to this further treatment.
I'll keep everyone posted, if I can.

Oh my... that's awful. For a few weeks, I thought my mom might have a cancerous growth in her brain, but the doctors assured us it's simply a nasal infection (thankfully), so I can relate to the stress. *pets*

Update: Mom had another biopsy done on Tuesday for the other breast. She was originally scheduled for surgery today to have a chemo-port put in, but the doctor stopped that saying that the biopsy shown more cancerous growth.
So... They're going to doing a surgery to get that taken out, and then have the chemo-port put in. Which means mom, who's been off work for the past two weeks, is going to be spending more time off work. She's starting to get pretty restless, not being allowed to do things she's used to doing.
That's all for now! *sigh*
