Good news

Mom came home from the hospital today and her doctor got the preliminary lab results. The bad news: it was definitely cancer (there was a 2% chance it might not be). The good news: it looks as if the tumor was completely contained within the kidney. That means other than yearly CT scans she is considered "cured." It's a little weird to go from "you're healthy" to "you have cancer, we took out your kidney, now you don't have cancer" all within two and a half weeks. I think we're all still trying to process it but we're exstatic about the news and looking forward to her speedy recovery.
