Discussion: diagnosis

So sorry to hear this. I remember how tough it was when I heard about my own mom's cancer diagnosis. Virtual hugs.

Yes, this is terrible news. Wishing you both the best as you go through this.

Thanks! I really appreciate it.

Damn cancer! Good thoughts headed to you both for strength and courage to face what comes.

Thinking of you, Barb, hugs.

Very sorry to hear this. Our best wishes to you and your mom. ..Steve and Betsy

So sorry to hear about this, Barb; my hopes go with you and your mom.

So hard to deal with. So sorry for you. Hang in there. We're all thinking of you.

Thank you all! Means a lot. I'm currently with my ex mom in law, Jan Bryant, in ABQ, who speaks very frankly about her own experience with breast cancer. (My mom, Jan Moore, also had breast cancer, 10 years ago). Jan Bryant says it is common for the cancer to come back, and often it comes back to lung, bone and/or brain. Jan Bryant considers that she probably has a couple good years left before that happens to her, and is thinking about how she wants to spend that time. We all have limited time on this earth, but for some of us it is particularly clear and particularly limited.

Ugh, really sorry to hear about this, Barb. Lots of love and best wishes to you and your mom from our family.
