Matt called home the other day and found out some bad news about his mom. She has been fighting breast cancer for a few years now, and she has been through numerous treatments, both radiation and chemotherapy. After the most recent treatment, which ended only months ago, they thought that they had gotten it all. She went in to have her hip checked this week, and they discovered that the cancer has reappeared. It is in her bones and her lungs. Unfortunately, they are unsure whether or not treatment will be successful. From what Matt told me, they have given her a timeframe of no more than a year.
I have never been good in situations like this. I'm never sure what to say or do. Matt seems to be dealing with it fairly well, and he said that his whole family is doing well considering. I'm really not even sure what more to write about it. It saddens me - I hate to see this happen to anyone, much less a family member.
