I know some of you were interested in the outcome of my mom's test results. The dr. told her this morning that she had "a little cancer" in her lymph node in her neck. I think he was trying to break the news gently that she has it again. He said it would need to be removed and he wanted it removed before March 20th. Said it may not may not affect a nerve going to the right corner of her mouth. I asked her if he mentioned radiation/chemo and she said he told her they would have to wait until the surgery and see how everything was. She is down to 108 lbs. now and wants to know how she can keep her weight on. During the three bouts w/mouth cancer before she's lost about 80 pounds - she doesn't have another 80 to lose. Any ideas for fattening her up? She's in pretty good spirits. Says that life doesn't have any guarantees so she is putting it in the Lord's hands.
