Hi Cooriander!

I'm in for 50 in February! Happy to hear that your dad is doing better ... my mom, not so good - just learned she has colon cancer. A scan tomorrow will tell us if surgery is a possibility or not and all of the risks that go with being 81. Prayers accepted ♥

So sorry to hear about your mother, and I hope the scan goes well, both my parents have cancers, my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2011, and she is 81, soon 82. She was not a candidate for radiation or surgery - she was in poor health, and she was given 4-6 months to live and she is still living. We found out that cancer research and treatment (chemo in particular) is beyond 'google' and medical journals (the research is already old when published). Hopefully, it is the same with colon cancer, best to your mother, *you*, and the rest of the family and her healing process, I will defintely be doing prayers for her, starting tonight! ♥ hugs.
