Mom had her surgery June 29th 2012 and everything went great. In and out in 30 minutes. No surprises waiting and her surgeon was happy of how it went.
Then we waited, for almost 3 weeks we waited, prayed and waited some more for the results and on Thursday, they came.
The cancer was stage 2, grade 3.
Yes, chemo and radiation are in my moms future. Which sucks. We were hoping to avoid chemo all together and just wanted to do a few rounds of radiation.
So, on Aug 28th 2012, my mom will begin 4 treatments of chemo, done every 3 weeks and radiation in February 2013.
I asked my mom why she needed so much chemo and it's because seems the cancer is a "grade 3" that is classified as an "aggressive" cancer, so the chemo and radiation will hopefully kill off any residual left overs.
As much as this sucks, I am so happy my parents get to go to on vacation to Myrtle Beach, SC on the Aug 11th to relax before treatments start.
For all those prayer warriors out there, please please please keep my family in your prayers. Keep praying for my mom and all the doctors and nurses who will be looking after my amazing mother.

I'm glad to hear that they have a game plan set up for her, bummer that it involves chemo but I'm sure she'll do great!
I hope they enjoy their trip. Your family is in my prayers.
Keeping your mom and entire family in my prayers!
My heart goes out to you Sarah. :(
I lost my Grandmother to breast cancer, and we just lost J's mother to pancreatic cancer. Cancer sucks - period.
I can't imagine what your going through, but I will pray for you and your family. Never underestimate the power of prayer. <3
