This is kind of going backward a little bit. A couple of months ago mom had her follow up check up with her cancer doctors. As she had lung cancer in the past though she has been cancer free now 8 yrs they still check her out yrly.
We went to the DR..had the normal chest xray, mamogram bloodwork. I would say its about a week after the test the Drs office called and...said to my mom..."we need you to come in, there is a small spot in your lung we need to follow up on."
So as my heart sank, I prepared myself to hear that moms cancer had returned. I took mom to her cancer Dr for her PET scan ( a special scan that looks for cancer spots) and we were told to schedule an appointment for a week.
Result day came...my older brother took the day off work and he n I took mom to the Dr.. As mom, myself and my brother sat waiting all with knots in our gut...finally in walks the DR...with a smile he says...Gertie (thats mom) You are still cancer free. Mom says "Thank You Jesus!" My brother and I breath a sigh of relief. But I write this becasue it is so important once you have had cancer...stay up on your check-ups with your Drs. Don't let appointment slip...Follow up is so important. We have been so blessed. Mom had breast cancer first, a month later my sister was diagnosed. Both went through treatment, both are survivors.There is HOPE, don't ever give up the fight and there are people too support you.

Over the years, I have had many ups and downs, at times it seemed more downs but it took me until now as in Ephesians 2:10 God was fulfilling his promise. I now use my past both the good and the bad to help others.
