Update on Mom


Thank you so much for all of the prayers for my Mom (Gail Camp)! As most of you know, she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in July and had a mastectomy on September 6th. She is recovering very well from the surgery which went perfectly. They also removed many lymph nodes which were suspect. As it turns out, only one lymph node was affected! That was great news! She is consulting with a cancer specialist in Gainesville, FL who has decided that she does not need to have chemotherapy! Another answer to prayer! Chemo is so hard on your body and no one wanted to see her have to go through those treatments. So at this point it looks like she will start taking a hormone pill everyday for the next 5 years as her treatment. This is very costly, though, and insurance does not cover it, so please pray for God's continued provision for them. She still has a consultation with a radiologist to see if he thinks she needs radiation... so we will see. But to sum things up, her prognosis is great and she is on the mend! Another survivor! Please continue to keep her in your prayers and I will keep you posted on her progress.
