Hey there Mike;
Needless to say I'm sorry to hear of your moms' plight. Hopefully the cancer was detected early enough and with todays available medical technology and a bit of prayer can be dealt with in short order.
I hear the cure process has it's good days and not so good days. I fervently hope that there will be more of the good. I'll be looking forward to your posts telling us of her positive progress.
A speedy recovery to you Mrs. Mikes Mom.

Mark
