faith is the substance...

of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1



That's moms favorite bible verse and what she told me after our news today. She never ceases to amaze me.

We met with a team of 6 doctors today, and the news was gut wrenching. Of the 6 doctors, 2 were surgeons who totally ruled out surgery. The cancer is in too many places. It would be impossible to get all the tumors. Also the surgery may end up causing her more pain, if that's possible, than she's in all ready.

Then came this news.

Her cancer has spread. Again. How could this be?

It has spread to a spot in between her ribs. It has also spread to both sides of her lungs.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

We have all decided that she needs to start treatment immediately. She will have a biopsy on Wednesday in Birmingham to start the ball rolling on the clinical trial there.
