A few weeks back, my mom found out she had stage 2 breast cancer. This past week, she had a surgery to remove the lump and test it. Unfortunately, they found it to be more aggressive than expected. So she is going back in for more surgery and chemo.
My mom has always been my rock. Divorced early and raised me while working her ass off in retail. Not going to lie, this is tough for me.
Update 3/29/24
She got the results back from her second surgery, which also included putting in the port for chemo.
The good news is they were able to get more the second time, and the remaining parts they missed are pre-cancerous.
She also now has the plan, which not knowing was scaring her. She will have 6 rounds of chemo over a period of 18 weeks starting next week. That will be followed by radiation treatment.
I appreciate all the prayers from my OB family. It really does help!
