Thank you so much for the words of encouragement. I think it was andenocarcinoma (sp?) but I can't remember for sure. I'll find out when we go back to the doctor. The doc said it was a fast growing type of cancer. He also made the HUGE mistake of telling her it wasn't caused by her smoking (which I still can't believe he said) and she continued smoking until recently when I convinced her to quit. She's also a recovering alcoholic so her risk factors for this cancer were huge.
