Mom went to see the surgeon yesterday. They confirmed that she in fact has stage three cancer. The surgeon said that the oncologist might opt to have mom put back together before having chemotherapy....but she could also say that she should wait until the chemo is done. We will know more on Thursday when she sees the oncologist. I hate not knowing what to expect. Everything in life is uncertain......I hate that. I hope all of this will work. You think they would have some way of killing just the cancer. Unfortunately they cannot figure that out and will need to kill a bunch of healthy cells in the meantime.
