ok so the update:
the cancer is in small tumors. so far they found 1 on the brain and one on the lung. they did something today where they went in though the nose to do something with the lung. i'm not sure what. they say radiation should shrink the tumors.
the very good news. as of now, the cancer has not gone to the lymph nodes or the liver.
i'm hoping this is a wake up call for her and my uncle to stop smoking.
thanks for the support everyone!
