Today:

I am headed back to school, which means the good news is my mom is going to be alright for the time being!! She has a Low Grade cancer that is operable. This means that it is not as fatal as first described! The surgery is major. They will be taking out 2/3rds of her pancreas, spleen, and some lymph-nodes (leaving her with a good chance of diabetes). There will be a 10 day stay in the hospital after that and 6 week recovery at home, BUT this should eliminate the Cancer! No Kemo (I don't know how to spell it)... yay! They said the chances of the cancer coming back are low. The road in front of her is going to be ruff, but it is so much better than what she was told at first!

My mom said with a huge smile while we were all sitting eating...
"I never thought I would be so excited about get diabetes, but compared it to death!"
