Cancer.
My Mom was diagnosed this week. She feels great. Looks great. Acts great. A mammogram was questioned. Then a few more pictures. Then a sonogram. We chose to go with the thought process of, “They are just being cautious.” A needle biopsy showed good reason for the extra tests and caution.
It’s early. Now we choose to go with that.
We will carry on. I realized I had fallen back into the self-absorbed world of making plans. I know better than that.
Priorities. “Things” that are not priorities will move to where they belong – the bottom of my worry list and the last to get my time.
I do not ask for anyone’s sympathy; but I would sure appreciate prayers.
Just Make the Coffee 
You certainly have my prayers. You’re not self-absorbed to make plans. That’s what we do. Cancer just doesn’t give a rip about plans. My mother-in-law died of lung cancer over a year ago, and my father-in-law is having a terrible time adjusting mostly because he planned to leave this world first. I admire your outlook on life and the perspective that you bring to your blog. I have enjoyed reading it immensely. -Jennifer
Your statement that Cancer just doesn’t give a rip about plans, is so right. It is its own world. Thank you for your words and YOUR blog.
I will pray for your mom. God is good !
Thanks Ed. Much appreciated.
Oh no -You and your Mom are in my prayers……Hang in there-You have proven to be a tough cookie!
Thanks Melinda. Mom is spunky and tough. It is hard to believe anything is “wrong.” We will know more tomorrow.
best wishes, and hang in there. waiting is hard
