the "C" Word

Got the call today from the dermatologist regarding my mothers biopsy. It is as the Dr. suspected: Basil Cell Carcinoma. Skin Cancer. But, if you are going to get skin cancer, the technician who called me said, this is the better one to get as it is treatable and not likely to spread. Mom will need to have a fairly simple procedure done in their office, much like the biopsy, to remove the offensive area and around it. We scheduled the procedure for 2 weeks from today.

Mom is handling the news well... a little freaked by that C word, but still taking it in and processing it. We appreciate your prayers.
