Hanging on by a thread.

Sitting at lunch today with mom  and listening to her talk about plans and things that we still need to do before the surgery. I can see her starting to get more nervous each day and wondering what things will feel like or how things will go or how long they will take to heal etc. Most of this will be answered on Monday at her pre-op appointment. I know its all normal but it doesn't make it easier for me to sit and not be able to help her along or give her the answers she needs. I have been doing so much research and there is some great research out their about how positive the results this surgery will be for mom and someone with her diagnoses but not any books yet. One study however shows that the doctors believe their is a 100%  possibility of no breast cancer growing after this is over with. The range runs as low as 90% but thats a-lot better then her odds if she doesn't do the surgery. Its hard to know what choices to make when it comes to our health sometimes isn't it? I think we all know however that we have to be the one who is comfortable with the outcome. Not our family, husbands, or friends. It has to be us, our own person. God has to be her strength and thats never a bad thing my prayer today is for Peace....that God will grant mom and all of us a peace that passes all understanding.
