Good Luck to your mother! Will pray all goes well for her treatments! My father wasn't so lucky. In April, he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer of the liver. We tried to fight it till the end, but, we laid him to rest this past Thursday. We will miss him dearly, but we know he has gone on to a better place!
My condolences for your loss. The cycle of life is beautiful, inevitable, challenging, and tragic, until God calls us home...
