I went home to WA to go visit my family & my mom said she wanted to get the family together so she can tell us about what is going on with her...We went to my brother's home and got my other siblings on the phone. My mom let us know that she was diagnosed with endometrial cancer! She started to cry when she told us & I cried with her...We asked her why she was going to get the treatment in MT when the cancer research center was in WA...we think it's because the doctor in MT was the one that found it. She had always been told by doctors that she needed to lose weight & that was why she hurt all the time. None of them did the kinds of tests this doctor did in MT. I am glad the doctor looked her over well. She goes into surgery the 17th of this month & I hope it all goes well! The doctor had done an ultrasound on her and said that the wall of her uterus was 2 inches thick. Normally it's supposed to be paper thin. They don't know how severe it is until she has the surgery. I really hope everything goes well for my mom! I pray she doesn't leave us! My dad mentioned that he just can't imagine losing her in the next couple of years(they have been married for 44 years). I was so thankful that I went to visit my parents when I did & I love them so very much! As I was leaving their house (after a 6 day weekend) my mom looked me in the eye and told me she was proud of me...made me cry, because maybe that would be the last time I hear that from her! Never know...
I looked this cancer up online...here is a link to it:

Oh how sad. I'm sorry to hear it. I'm glad she found a doctor who could help her.
The picture of when she was young looks so much like you.
You and your family will be in our prayers! I hope her surgery goes well.
Bird!! I'm so sorry to hear this!! I'll be thinking of and praying your mom will be ok. How scary. I know how much you love your momma. Please know you're in my thoughts. :O)
I am sorry to hear that your mom has cancer. I hope her surgery goes well.
Your mom and your family will be in our prayers especially tomorrow as he undergoes her surgery.
I have an idea of how you must have felt about this; this is terrible and something nobody should have to endure.
Hoping that all goes well for your family.
Send your mom some love for me :)
