Thursday

So, today my mom went to the hospital to get a biopsy. Three hours she was there - and now she needs to wait five days for the results. The material they took out was stringy, she said, like wet noodles.

She is grateful that she has close friends who have been through this, a good doctor, a respected hospital.

I can't believe any of this unless it is actually true. People survive cancer. I tell myself that.

I only have one parent left, though, and anything that threatens her frightens me.

So now we wait.

Thank you both.

Sending good thoughts your way.

My mom is fighting colon cancer right now so I know how frightening it is (I also have only one parent left). All good thoughts with you and your mom, Jay.
