bad, bad, very bad news

Most of you who read this probably know that Doug's mom was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer in January. She went through chemo and radiation, lost her hair, suffered through the awful side effects of the chemo and radiation, was admitted to the hospital for dehydration, got blood transfusions, took an early morning trip to the ER for chest pain, and fought her way back to health. She had her 1 month post treatment checkup in late May and all was well.

Yesterday she had her 2 month post treatment checkup and visited with the oncologist this morning. The cancer is back. She has a one inch tumor in her left lung, but the lymph nodes don't seem to be affected this time.

Awful, just awful. Cancer sucks!!
