A sad message

I received the following message from a friend. It has been slightly edited, but the sentiment remains.

Hello Everyone!

This is hard to email and will be a shock for you as it is for us but the nodules in my mom's lungs are cancer. She had a couple of them biopsied. The hardest part of this is that the doctors say it is incurable. This cancer is the same as her breast cancer and because it's in another location it's concidered stage 4 but I guess because it is in the lungs the treatment can only stop the nodules from growing. I'm not sure what else to say....Please intercede in prayer for us.

I have set up a CaringBridge website for my mom since I don't like sending out these mass emails. That way you can stay up to date through the webstie and also leave encouragement for my mom and family. Below is the information:

To keep you up to date on her, I created a CaringBridge website. You can follow Patricia’s progress and show your support.

You can visit her website in either of two easy ways:

1. Visit the CaringBridge website by clicking the link below.
<< link removed for privacy reasons >>

2. Enter the website name, << name removed for privacy reasons >>, at www.CaringBridge.org.


When you visit you’ll be asked to log in, because I’ve chosen to keep the site private.
