The Muzzy Report

Just a quick update on my mom...Last week she found a surgeon at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa. He seems like a great guy and happens to be a member of the Church. Cool! He has selected my mom to be a participant in a test group for a new breast cancer procedure where the tumor is first frozen before being removed. I don't understand all the technical and medical reasoning, but they believe that going this route increases the chances of completely removing the tumor and reducing possible problems down the road. She is now at the point of being confirmed as a participant in the study (she has had an MRI already) and then scheduling her first procedure for, hopefully, this week. There can be a lot of waiting in this game :) It can be frustrating sometimes, so any prayers for speed on the part of labs, doctors, nurses, appointments, etc. is much appreciated. Other than that, life is normal, my mom is good :) She appreciates everyone who has been so kind, given her a hug, said words of encouragement- all of it! She always gets emotional when she talks to everyone (something she says she wishes didn't happen), but it is definitely the "good" kind of emotional. She is very touched by how genuinely caring everyone is. So on behalf of my mom, Thanks! You guys are WONDERFUL! :)
