Update on Gram

The schedule of events for this week has already changed dramatically! Sometimes I think I'm the last to know anything. My mom has been filling me in on all of the details that I'm behind on. Gram has already seen the oncologist...The type of cancer that she has is neither aggressive nor non-aggressive. I guess it is somewhere in the middle. It is stage 1 - which I believe is pretty positive. The negative side is that this particular type of cancer like to move to the brain or bones. She went for the PET scan yesterday, and a brain and bone scan today. Between these tests they will be able to see if it has spread to any other part of her body. This particular oncologist wishes to try to remove the upper lobe of her lung (that's where the mass is), then determine from there if radiation or chemotherapy is needed. All of this could change when we get the results back from the scans, if the cancer is elsewhere. Needless to say, Gram could be in surgery as early as next week or the week after. Please continue to pray and I will update as soon as I have any more information.
