Mom is still busy working her way through surgery recovery. The last 24+ hours have been a bit rough, but we are pushing through it.
Dr. Leverton visited us this morning with the biopsy results we were waiting on. She confirmed that the cancer was early Stage 3 (1 out of 17 lymph nodes tested were positive for cancer) and chemo will be required after Mom is fully recovered from the surgery (3-5 weeks).
We are hoping to bring Mom back to our house this Thursday, but do not know for sure yet. Nick will help us work with MD Anderson to get her set up with an oncologist to finalize the treatment plan for Mom's return to Houston (looking like early November at this point).
Please note that it is very hard for Mom to talk on the phone still, so it is really best to send emails/texts at this point.

Monica, you are a great communicator. You give the details that I would have asked for. Tell your Mom (Sia) that heads turn when I call her name during the prayer for healing. I think people want to ask who she is,but are afaid of causing a rucus. That's how life is. *hugs* ans XOXOX HERB
Hi Sia - Best wishes as you recover. I'm glad to hear that things have gone so well thus far. Hang in there - we're all pulling for you.

Thanks sooooooo much Monica, I was going to phone, but I'm glad I read your blog first.
Be WELL assured that when Mum comes back to Houston, I will be on call 24/7. She will get so fed up of me, she will want to recover quickly - ha ha!!.
Give her our love, and keep on the great work on the blog. We love you too.
