Answered Prayers

Two years ago my mother was diagnosed with high-grade
Hemangiopericytoma, which is a soft tissue sarcoma.

What does that mean to the average person?

Cancer

It was a rough few months after her less than routine surgery but I was able to be there since I was living at home at the time. All of the reading online about her type of cancer was certainly not uplifting and made us fear the worst but she is a fighter and managed to recover! She goes to her oncologist for CT scans every few months and her most recent one was on Tuesday.

After waiting anxiously for two days to find out the results I am so proud to announce that her scan was clean and there was not a tumor at the original site!! There was a small spot on one of her lungs that they will check again in three months but we are just so excited that her tumor has not come back.

God has been so good to us during this experience and I thank Him every day for the time I get to spend with my mom. She is one of the most important people in my life- strong, caring, loving, and so supportive! Thank you to all my friends in real life who have been lifting my mom up in your prayers lately. I am amazed every day at the blessings God continues to provide us! xoxo
