This is Joanna, Marilyn's oldest daughter. I am going to use this to keep everyone updated on my mom. Most of the time it should be me posting, if not we will let you know who is posting. Mom was diagnosed officially last Friday with Renal Cell Carsinoma or in people terms "Kidney Cancer". She underwent a lung biopsy last week and it was confirmed. The cancer is in her left kidney and in her lungs. This Thursday she will undergo removal of her kidney then we will proceed with treatment of the spots on her lungs. We are meeting with the oncologist today to make sure all of the doctors are talking and that this is the right way to go, before we remove a major organ!
Function with just one kidney is perfectly normal and the doctor said that she probably will never be able to tell, she will just have to treat her one and only kidney very nicely. :)
We covet your prayers and thank all of our friends and family for support during this time. I will update this as soon as we hear anything new.
Love,
Jo
