We prayed for the best-case scenario...but the results of Mom's PET scan couldn't have been worse. Stage IV lung cancer; treatment, for a number of reasons, is not an option. One doctor, when my mother asked how much time she had left, said it was "a matter of months." Another one guessed anywhere from 6 months to a year. Devastating news for a family still reeling from our devastating loss last December {the death of my sister-in-law, Janie}. Finding joy these days is difficult; holding on to hope with a prognosis like that, next to impossible. All we know how to do right now is to hold on to each other. We cry, we hug, we hold on...& treasure each day that comes with these precious few months Mom is still with us.
