Emily's cancer has returned.
She found a new lump right near her surgery scar last Friday morning. The doctor brought her right in for another mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy. The results were shocking to all of us, even the doctor. I guess it is rare (though not unheard of) to have cancer continue to spread during chemo. She is scheduled for another full body scan on Thursday to determine what type of cancer this one is and to make sure that there is no cancer elsewhere in her body. Once they get the results of the scan, they will schedule another surgery for her as quickly as possible.
Going forward, this means at least one or two more surgeries and then starting chemo all over again. Other than just these facts, all I have to offer is stunned silence. I can't believe she has to endure this again. Em, you know I love you and I'm heartbroken that this isn't the end of this nightmare.

My little Em...
What do you say at a time like this...except that I think you are an awesome woman. I will pray for you and that God's glory will be seen. I know there is a reason for all this...but it is hard to see the big picture right now. Just know that God is crazy about you and He is always there for you.
