Last week Mom went to the radiation doctor to get her "tattoos." The tattoos are actually radioactive injections around the area that leave a small dot, like a tattoo. She said it was very painful, which she did not expect.
Her first radiation treatment was orignally scheduled for next Tuesday, but there has been a setback in the plans.
This week, she felt wierd sensation on her opposite breast and it ended up being another lump. She called Dr. Park right away and went in to see him. He agreed that there was another growth and scheduled her for an ultrasound. She waited to tell anyone anything until he sent her for the ultrasound because it felt like she is starting all over again with all of the tests and the anxiety of not knowing if this means more cancer. She picked up Auntie Geri and they went in for the ultrasound. Because there is a tumor present, she will need another biopsy, which is scheduled for Monday, February 16th. Obviously she has been down about this because she is so close to the end of her treatments, but she also said that she has already been through it and if she has to do it again, she will.
Please pray that my mom will keep her faith and that the biopsy is negative.

On October 9th, 2008, our beloved Jacqueline was diagnosed with breast cancer. Although devastated at first, we knew she would be a survivor and we were all here for her every step of the way! On March 14th, 2009, Jacqueline was diagnosed with a brain AVM which was removed through brain surgery on June 8th. It was a tough recovery, but she inspired us all with her courage and strength.
