ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your mom, Erika. I'm glad her doctors caught it early. You say she's a fighter and she can beat this so I have no doubt in my mind she will be just fine! I will say a prayer for her.
ReplyDeleteTry and have fun this weekend. Your costumes are gonna rock!

So sorry about your mom- she sounds like a fighter though!

Oh, Erika, I'm so sorry! I do know exactly how you feel - my mom told me a few years ago that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and I saw stars. I've never had a physical reaction like that to any kind of news before or since. But the good news is that your right - caught early, it's a piece of cake. Are they just doing radiation and a lumpectomy? That's what my mom had to have, and it really wasn't as scary as you would think. Hugs to you and your mom!
ReplyDeleteI am so so sorry to hear about your mom! I'm sending lots of good wishes - she sounds like a strong woman (you too!)
ReplyDeleteI adore your Halloween idea, oh nostalgia costumes :) Have a terrific and relaxing weekend!
Though its a scary time and I can't begin to imagine the range of emotions that both you and your mom must be going through, your strength and postive thinking will certainly see you through! You are inspiring to others and that energy will return back to you in your time of need.
ReplyDeleteThoughts and prayers for a speedy recovering .. xo HHL
I'm sorry about your mom, will be having you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteThe costumes are cute, have a safe weekend!:D

ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your mom. The poor thing, battling one thing after the next. Luckily they caught it early (hooray!) so it shouldn't be too much for her to handle. She'll beat cancer and show em who's boss! I love your costume - have a great Halloween weekend!
ReplyDeleteErika, I cannot even begin to imagine what you are feeling but I know it is a scary thing and you and your mom and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Your positive attitude will turn cancer around quickly!
ReplyDeleteKeep smiling and enjoy your weekend in your awesome costume!

ReplyDeleteOh, Sweetie, I am so sorry your Mom, (and you), have to face this. Of course, I will keep your family in my prayers. Your Mom is lucky to have you for support. xo
ReplyDeleteOh Erika {{{HUGS}}}} so sorry to hear about your mom. Good thing I think is that I've known quite a few breast cancer survivors and one friend's mom who also had skin cancer and breast cancer, and she's been cancer free for I think at least 10 yrs. now. So I hope there's some encouragement for you. Best of luck.
