I have just received the most wonderful news.
My Stepmother isn't dead yet.
To fill out a few more details, she has a lump in her breast. They've been going through tests to determine if it had spread, and it hasn't.
It can be removed with a lumpectomy, and there will be no chemo or radiation.
She's quite elderly, you see, and wouldn't survive general anesthesia, or radiation or chemo. The surgeon believes it will be relatively simple to remove the lump, and Stepmother lives to fight another day!
My Stepbrothers and Stepsisters have not been telling either Stepmother or my Dad about her condition, because both of them are so far gone with Alzheimer's that neither could comprehend the situation or the implications.
And if Daddy couldn't understand those, he certainly wouldn't understand what had transpired, should she have passed away.
For now, the two old folks continue.
