Adenocarcinoma. a.k.a. Lung Cancer
It's a mystery as to how a young(ish), healthy, non-smoking woman could go in for a check of a sore back and come out of it three (or has it been four?) weeks later with a tumor in her lungs that is approximately 10 centimeters long that has metastisized to her hips and back bones.
The news is fresh. We think we have a plan, but the upcoming week will be time to process what we now know and get second and third opinions about the future. She will have a brain MRI on Tuesday to check to see if the cancer has spread there and she returns north on Thursday to meet with an oncologist at Huntsman.
We know that many of you will have questions and we hope that you will use this blog as a way to keep up on the day to day happenings. Mom is so appreciative of everyone's love and support.

so sorry for this devastating news. makes me think she may have been exposed to Radon over the years. Basements? Granite counter tops? You could do some research and see... Radon is confirmed to cause Lung Cancer from what i know. Much luck and positivity that she will have a full recovery.

With your faith in God and your amazing family at your side, you will get through it! I will be reading your blog and checking with Bryan about your progress.
