Mother & Big C

[IainH]

Apparently, Mommy Dearest has developed breast cancer. Being a Dr junkie the lump was found in its early stages. Now, md lives in Scotland so she goes through what is called the National Health Service, NHS. It's socialized healthcare so I don't know yet exactly what they plan to do. She is 81. I'll let you know more when I know more. I hope the Lord can redeem some glory from this but, with mother she'll talk a good talk about faith but, it always winds up focusing on her. For those that don't know my mother has a narcissistic personality disorder. Nuff sed.

So sorry to hear this, Iain. I haven't had to deal with the Big C personally, but a lot of family members of mine have, both immediate and extended. It takes its toll, even after it is long gone. We will pray with you on this.

My mother is receiving chemotherapy, one or two tablets every two weeks as treatment for her breast cancer. She is not getting a lumpectomy yet. The UK has socialized healthcare funded by payroll deductions, kinda like medicare for all citizens. It's based on what is best for the patient instead of how much $$$ they can extract from the patient and insurance companies. 
  Let the Lord's will be done.

  Let the Lord's will be done.

Amen.

Let the Lord's will be done.

I'll second that.
