Guest Post -- Update on Grandma





Hello to all my Mom's followers.  This is her daughter Erika.  She's asked me to do a guest post to update everyone on my Grandma. 
We are happy to report, the surgery was successful.  They removed some of her lymph nodes for testing and the results were to be about 48 hours.  We received the good news this morning, the lymph nodes were clear & there is no involvement.  She is a stage 2A which is I can only assume the best case scenario.  She will need light treatment with chemotherapy & radiation. 
My Mom (as I know my whole family) would like to thank every one for your prayers.  It means so  much.  As I'm sure you know, Grandma is a very special lady in all of our lives.  We treasure her & truly feel like we are fighting this fight along side her, and we are, and we will....
My Mom is with Grandma now, and will be staying with her to take care of her for a few days.  Please continue praying for her recovery & her strength & healing.
Cancer you got 3 out of 4 of my Grandparents and you aint gettin this one.

Hi Erika, Please tell your mom I'm praying for your grandma and for all of your family. I'm so glad that her stage is only a 2A. For some reason, your mom's blog isn't coming thru on my reader-so I will have to make sure to check more. Life has been crazy here and I haven't been around too much lately.
Please give her hugs from me.
