<font color="purple">Well, a bit of an update:

She isn't coming up here, which is understandable because cancer has a long follow-up process (it's not like you can just have the surgery and go back home) and well, she'd really hate to be stuck up here during the fall/winter when it gets freezing out BUT! I'm pretty sure she found a surgeon to do the procedure. My mom is supposed to visit her in June. But...that's really all the info I know right now.

Oh, and apparently stage 3 IS bad (not like any stage of cancer is good but...) I'm hoping that the cancer cells didn't go through her lymph nodes and started spreading....
