Okay, so my hubby isn't home from work yet and I just had to share my MIL's good news! :) She had a lumpectomy(sp) last week, and got the test results back today - it was benign! My DH has been so worried about his mom, I can't wait until he gets home and I can tell him! Now he can focus on his classes (leadership school) before he leaves for Korea.
 
Woo hoo! Congratulations on the good news!
 
How relieved you must be! I'm so happy for you all!
 
Oh good for you. I went through the same thing last summer and know how hard it is to wait for those results. I know first hand the relief that you all must feel at the news that the lump was benign. God DOES answer prayers!
