Posted: Mar 14, 2010

In my workup for the breast cancer I had a breast MRI which showed a spot in my lung. That was biopsied and shown to be colon cancer. A PET scan has shown colon cancer also. Next Wednesday I'm having lumpectomies for the breast CA, next Monday I start chemo for the colon CA. Prayer is carrying me through this. Thanks for remembering me!
My goodness - Sending prayers your way
