Grandma Sue

Keeping Grandma entertained at the hospital.

Unfortunately, we've learned of yet another rare medical condition that we wish we hadn't. Lauren's Grandma Sue was diagnosed with Malignant Mixed Mullerian Tumor (MMMT). This is an aggressive type of uterine cancer. She has already completed the first step of her treatment which was to have a hysterectomy. She is recovering well from the surgery. We were hoping the cancer had not spread, but it was found to have spread to her lymph nodes. The next step of her treatment is five weeks of radiation. After that, six rounds of chemo. It's going to be a tough fight but if anyone can do it, she can. She is the strongest person I know. Especially with little Lauren by her side.
