Hi Malena! I know that this is the worst news. You know so much about the battle against cancer and you don't want your mom to go thru what you have. But remember she will have you. She will have your knowledge, your courage, your wisdom, and most of all your love to prop her up when she needs it. And you will be giving to the one who means so much to you. It's not the thing you would pick to share together, but it's so important that you will have each other. No one else can understand her needs more or anticipate what would make her smile. You my girl are "just what the doctor ordered" for your mom! Wish you didn't have to, but surely am glad she has you and your love to walk her thru the storm. God bless you both. Hope the news for her surgery is good and the treatment is brief and so very successful. I predict some very precious moments coming up! mary anne
