In a few short hours, my Mom will be back in surgery for the 2nd lumpectomy. The tumor was a little bit larger than was originally thought. It's still small, but just big enough to really change what will happen in the next few weeks and months.
She has to be at MD Anderson at 6:30 a.m. and her surgery is scheduled for 8:30 a.m.
Because of the size of the tumor, her cancer is "technically" Stage 2, instead of Stage 1. The major meaning behind this is that she will have to undergo chemo in addition to radiation. We originally thought she was only going to have to undergo a few weeks of radiation.
As usual, we won't know much for a little while longer, but those are the basic details for now. She still has to figure out whether she'll do the chemo and radiation in Houston or in Midland... a very big decision.
Please continue to pray for her. I know I'm frustrated with the news and I could hear a little frustration in her voice over the phone this evening too.
