Well here we go again - this sucks. Anyhow - Liz was diagnosed with lung cancer late yesterday - the 7th. We were getting some conflicting information about having to remove her entire left lung and if or how they will do treatments.
The doctors have determined that the cancer has spread and therefore will NOT REmove her lung. So that doesn't sound good. However, they will be doing treatments chemo and probably radiation - I assume all over. We do not know where the cancer has spread at this time.
Liz is staying at FAxton - St. Luke's hosptial in Utica, NY and her room number is 173.
Please tell friends about this website that may know Liz. I realize most people that check may be our family - but we'll pass this along to the Backus gang as well.
Its important we keep her in our prayers - she's a wonderful woman and very strong. If anyone can beat this cancer- its Liz. She's a fighter and has a LOT to look forward to in life and she's young. So we are focusing on all those positives right now.
Love,
Gail

Sorry to hear about the sad news of your mother in law. It does not sound good, but the chemo and radiation will help. I will certainly include her in my prayers.
I was planning to reply to you about all the nice pictures of Nat, he is really growing and all the bruises remind me of Douglas at that age.
Love.
Laura
