Mom's cancer has returned but, had a positive meeting with her surgeon and a discussion with her physician yesterday. She recommends talking to a radiologist and she believes the treatment could only be two weeks and mom wouldn't get very sick. The radiologist may say differently but i'm going with what positive i can find at the moment. The surgeon very much tells it like it is but is optimistic about the near future. She says that the cancer will outlive my mom, meaning if mom lives long enough she will die from it. Though she didn't word it this way, the surgeon wants to treat the cancer like a chronic disease; treat it as it shows and buy some time. Both mom's regular doctor and the surgeon comment that her health is good enough for someone her age that it is worth fighting.

Why am i sounding so up? Maybe i am in shock because after all this is her death sentence. But when the day started i didn't know what to expect, how bad it was and now we at least have a plan and we have some time. So yeah, i am in a good, well, better mood.
