I didn’t want to call it development, because developments usually mean good, better but not difficult, bad or critical.
My best friend isn’t critical though, she just needs another surgery, after 15 years. Her first surgery was in 1993 when a benign tumor was found inside her uterus. The doctors just chipped off a small portion of her uterus then.
Last year, she had a scare of metastatic lung cancer. Fortunately what they found on her lungs were just pulmonary nodules. The source of ‘metastasis’ was not even found.
The other day I heard some bad news. She told me her oncologist advised total hysterectomy (tumor is back in here womb!) and that the then pulmonary nodules have replicated.
Except for the hysterectomy, i don’t know yet what is to be done with the nodules. Meanwhile, we are asking for prayers to give my best friend the strength to undergo another surgery. God, please keep her safe and help her get through all these with flying colors. Please…

[...] days I am 150% happy, would have been a whooping 200% only if my best friend is not in this difficult situation. She is now in the crossroads of deciding what’s best : surgery, hormonal replacement therapy [...]
Thanks Art. I think she will be fine.
I hope she’ll be fine, keep the faith. . .
