I got a phone call from my mother last night. My Nana had breast cancer a few years ago, had surgery, got over it and then they found a spot in her lung. Well, they kept an eye on it and it appeared to get smaller and stay small. She just had another checkup and they called to tell her that it's "grown significantly" and that she needed to come in for a follow-up. She said to the doctor, "Well, I have an appt. with you at the end of August already." and he replied, "No, I need to see you sooner than that. That might be too late."
It's hard to put into words the bond that I have with my Nana. It's just pure and perfect and love. I love her more than anyone in this entire world save John. My mother told me that she's shaky and nervous and that (even more than the spot) is what upsets me. What matters to me most is that she has peace. She just turned 77 on Sunday and quit smoking yesterday (same day she got the call).
To all my friends who talk to God, pray for my Nana please.
Thanks 
******************UPDATE********************
She does not want a biopsy, she does not want surgery. The doctor told her that if they waited until the end of the month it could be inoperable. It's the size of a quarter and they don't know what it is and she doesn't want to know because she feels great right now. So...time will tell. 
This was a couple of years ago.
