Hello again-
Mom had her appointment on Thursday and spoke with Dr. "Shake your booty". Another great nick-name for the good doctor. So, he confirmed what we all pretty much knew. Mom's tumor is cancerous and is in what they call Stage 4. It is very aggressive and will grow back. Radiation will be about 6 maybe 8 weeks long. She should be starting this withing the next two weeks. She is scheduled to meet with the oncologist on Tuesday the 24th. This will give us a much better idea of what it to come with the radiation process. That is pretty much it for now. Mom is going to be getting on here herself in the next few days and give a longer, more detailed update. Look for her to get on and enjoy the fact that she will be writing and not me! First hand info!
Thanks everyone for your support. We love you all.

Lots of prayers going up, Maxine. We love you, and know God is in control. Our prayers for God's peace to all of the Hooper family through this very difficult time. Mary, you are a rock. Martha, the hands of Jesus. Mikala, a song in the night. The Hooper men~ strong, like the cedars of Lebanon, firmly planted by streams of water. When I went to the Lord through scripture, these are the passages He brought to mind:
ReplyDeleteIsaiah 40:28
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.
Ps 9:10
And those who know Thy name will put their trust in thee; For Thou, O Lord, hast not forsaken those who seek Thee.
Ps 16:
I will bless the Lord, who has counseled me; Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night. i have set the Lord continually before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
