Update

I am in Mobile with my sister. She asked me to come. It's not good. Becky admitted later that night that she had had a lump in her breast for 2 years. She'd had non-cancerous lumps before and assumed that's what it was. The necessary staff were off Thanksgiving and Friday, and of course over the weekend, so the breast tissue will not be able to be biopsied until Monday. The orthopedic surgeon and oncologist initially agreed they wanted to wait for that biopsy to do her hip replacement, because depending on what kind of cancer it is, if it is breast cancer at all, the chemo for breast cancer would not allow her hip to heal. So they were going to somehow stabilize it another way if the biopsy revealed the worst. But she is in terrible pain, even on the highest doses of painkillers allowed, so this morning the orthopedist and oncologist conferred and made the decision to go ahead and do the surgery. She is flat on her back, immobile, in pain and obviously very worried. There are lesions on her hips, one leg bone, her spine, her ribs, her collarbone. Best case scenario, the breast biopsy turns out okay, and we proceed with treatment for the bone cancer. Worst case scenario, it's breast cancer that has metasticized. All Jack knows is that his Mom broke her hip. They decided to withhold more info until they know for sure what they are dealing with. I asked for prayers on facebook. There is no guarantee that positive thinking and energy will help, but there is absolutely nothing to be gained from negativity...so we're trying.  I will update when I can here. Please pray.
