First attempt to blog..........

Ok, so I have my page set up, not really sure if I like it or not, but it will do for now...after seeing several commercials about Susan G. Komen, I decided to do some research on the internet about these commercials...I found their site and sent for information...my packet came and it had a DVD....after several kleenex and 10 min of DVD, I decided to register for this walk in hopes that my help would be what they needed to help find a cure.....I had lost a cousin in the past year to breast cancer and it is just unfair....after sending in my registeration form, my mother called and the mammogram she had done the week prior had shown something and she was going for further imaging...needless to say we were all scared since she had already had a kidney removed after we returned from evacuating from Ivan....as we feared, the object was not a normal shape and she chose to have it removed instead of the biopsy route, so after removal, the pathology reports stated it was, RENAL SARCOMA, Kidney cancer, same as they removed in her Kidney 5 years ago.....This type of cancer has never been removed/discovered in breast tissue before, so we knew we were charting in new territories....she saw an oncologist @ USA and had scans done and they were able to get all that was in the breast, but she has another spot @ the top of her lung and nogles through out both....she has started a clinical trial for RENAL SARCOMA, since this cancer is not curable, they will attempt to slow the the growth and possibly see some shrinkage in the 3cm spot in her lung....So far, she is doing fairly well....she is about 1/2 way through the first round and the only bad side effect so far is a rash......she does get a little tired, but nothing that really puts her down and keeps her from her activities...we are very blessed at this point, prayers are being felt! Thanks to all for the prayers!
