Well, not so good news on the home front. My mother-in-law lives with us and last week she had a growth removed from her upper gum (where a wisdom tooth would be). Pathology came back. Invasive squamous cell carcinoma. We will be off to UC San Francisco next week. The cancer was in all the tissue removed, not just the tumor. My MIL is trying to be positive, but she is real with me. We had a good talk this morning. I told her we are all in this together.

have4boys -- so sorry about the news. I am very happy you all are there for her. There are lots of new ways to approach cancer so hopefully, she is the perfect candidate for some of the more effective treatments! Good thing it was caught earlier than later, too! Good luck!!!
