Unfortunately, the results of the brain scan came back with an abnormality! :( There is an "arteriovenous malformation" on the front, left side of mom's brain and has nothing to do with her cancer. This is when the arteries and the veins of the brain are tangled and bleeding occurs, which can lead to many serious problems likes seizures or strokes if left untreated. The doctor claims she has had it since she was born, but as time goes on, it grows and bleeds 3% each year, which may be causing her migraines. Basically, the only option mom has is to have brain surgery to have it removed. This is the hardest part for her to accept right now because of the severity and risks of this type of surgery. She is being referred to one of the best brain surgeons and will most likely meet with him next week to discuss her options and in more detail about what exactly this all means. She still needs to finish a few more treatments of radiation, go through a PET scan of her body to make sure there is no more cancer and have her port removed, so we are not sure how this will effect that.
We are all pretty much shocked and speechless right now because mom is so close to being done with breast cancer, but we know we will get through this too!! Keep Mom in your prayers.

This prayer is for you......
You never know when GOD is going to bless you....Prov. 29.25.
Dear Lord I thank you for this day. I thank you being able to see and
hear and speak this morning. I am blessed because You are a forgiving
and understanding GOD.
You have done so much for me and You keep blessing me regardless of my
imperfections.
Forgive me this day for every wrong thing I have done and thought that
were not pleasing to you.
Please keep me safe from danger and harm.
Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude.
Let me make the best of each day to clear my mind so that I may hear
from you.
Please broaden my mind so that I can accept all things.
Let me not be a
complainer of that I have no control over and provide me
with the best response when I am pushed beyond my limits.
God I know that when I cannot pray, you listen to my heart. Use me to do
your will, and continue to bless me so that I may be a blessing to
others.
Keep me strong so that I may help the weak.
Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others.
I pray for those that are lost and cannot fine their way.
I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood.
I pray for those who do not know you intimately.
I pray for those who do not believe and will not take the time to share
this pray with others.
I thank you, and I believe that you, GOD changes things and people.
I pray for all my sisters and brothers and for each and every family
member.
I pray for peace, love and joy within each and every household and that
needs are met and freedom from debt.
I pray that each eye reading this prayer know that there is no problem,
circumstance or situation greater than GOD, and that every battle is
yours to FIGHT!!!
I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that
see... in Jesus name, AMEN.
GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND!!!!
LOVE YOU ........ Christine
Speechless!! However, it's just another uphill battle that we all know you will fight and prevail. Fight on!!
