I didnt post here often, but I did find a lot of comfort here over the last several months.


I wanted to post a quick update.


My MIL was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer last August, it had spread to her liver and lymphnodes.  She also suffered 2 heart attacks the same week as her diagnosis.


Her prognosis was grim and we had all prepared for the worst.


Well, this last week she went in for several tests to help decide which way to go with her next course of treatment.


They did seveal biopsies and they all came back negative for Cancer!


She still has a bit of a long road ahead of her.  Because of all the radiation she did, there is a good deal of damage and it is causing her a great deal of pain. They are trying one more type of pain management before they go in and try major surgery.  Either way, once that is under control she will have one more round of chemotherapy before she is cleared.


But, as of right now there are now signs of cancer.


It is the best news we have had all year.  Thank You all for the P&PTs
