She had her first chemo yesterday (Wednesday 7th) and so far isn't feeling too bad from it. The doctors said they won't even operate on the tumors unless the chemo seems to be helping overall, which it is too early to tell.
It is a huge long story of how her cancer was discovered. But the odd part is that she wasn't showing any signs. Even now, with her liver 33% non functional, the tests say her liver function is fine. It turns out that's not where the cancer started. It is actually colo/rectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It is in the lymph system too. (And yes, even with a huge tumor, she was still having regular movements, although now she is on an all liquid diet.)
She is taking the news straightforward and is telling people to pray for God's will to be done. Not that she wouldn't appreciate a miracle of total healing, but as she says, "What God has planned for me has always been better than any ideas I've decided on my own."
She is not Catholic, but I'm sure she holds a special place in Jesus's heart. She has always felt she had a special relationship with God, and is definitely Christian. She was born the same year as me. She's only 55.
