Diagnosis
January 13th my mom was diagnosed with microcystic adnexal carcinoma. Microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) is a rare, malignant appendage tumor commonly classified as a low-grade sweat gland carcinoma that typically occurs on the head and neck, particularly the central face. It shows aggressive local invasion but has little metastatic potential. There have only been 300 cases documented worldwide.

I love you, Dotsy. I consider you one of the suportive rocks in my life and know full well that you have been there for me all of my days and years-including many of my own hospital stays. I want to encourage you to remember that God says-whom of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Let us love on you for a change and know that we are petitioning the sovereign Lord on your behalf. Love, Amy
