If it's not one thing, it's another. Seriously.

My Mom has been having a pretty hard time lately. This has been a bad past year - with my Dad being diagnosed with congestive heart failure and my grandfather passing away, my Mom has had it tough!

So, she went to the Dr. a few weeks ago and a test of hers came back abnormal. So, she went to a specialist, and another test came back abnormal. They decided to do a biopsy, and he results came back that she does have Stage 1, Level 3 breast cancer. It's the earliest stage it can be found and treated, but the Level 3 means that it's the most aggressive form. She also has some thing called HER Plus, which makes the cancer even more aggressive, which means that her recovery will include six months of chemotherapy, and then radiation.

So, Friday is her surgery! Then, July 16th she will begin her first round of chemo. She will go every two weeks for six months ... looking on the bright side, if you have to have cancer, this is the kind to have! I have been told this is very serious, but a walk in the park compared to what other people are going through! Nine times out of ten, breast cancer is not found until at least Stage 2, so we're doing good already! The Dr. did tell her that she's going to lose her hair and I have been instructed to keep a look out on a well made wig!

Other news - I got a job at Macy's! I work in the home section and so far, so good! It's very different than any other job I've had ... I'm not exactly sure how I feel about that yet, but it's keeping me very active! And, it's a really good way to keep my mind off of what's going on right now with my Mom!

My knee is healing well! My stitches are out and my scar is showing - yikes! Not exactly the type of scar you want, but what can ya do?! I will be sure to watch out for holes in piers from now on! =)

Well, that's all I know! Hope everyone is having an outstanding day/week/SUMMER!
