Ovarian Cancer

Mom spoke with Duke today and was informed that they found CA-125 indicator of ovarian cancer on her CT scan with tracer. This means that they believe that she is dealing with ovarian cancer that has spread to her peritoneal cavity. Mom's pain level was high today, so Duke called in a double dose of her Morphine. She still wasn't comfortable after taking that, but I'm hoping that she'll be able to get on top of the pain tonight so that she can feel a little better. It may also be that she needs something stronger. We'll have to wait and see.

We were able to find someone to bring Mom to Dale's house on Wednesday afternoon so that she can go in to Duke on Thursday for her tests. Thank you Lord!

Mom's energy level is low and she needs a lot of sleep but she tries to fit in some enjoyment when she can. Last night, we went to the Christmas lights display at the Speedway and that was gorgeous and a lot of fun. Today, she hung out with Will and I for about an hour in the early afternoon.

Please continue to remain in prayer for Mom and for our family. This is some tough stuff and certainly not the news we were hoping for, though we know that God is with us and that we'll be given strength and wisdom along the way.
