The other day she had a CT scan of her lungs. She went to the doctor to get the report and was told that her lungs are fine, but that she has a tumor on her adrenal gland. I'm a little worried, but they told her that they want to wait six months and scan her again to see if it has grown any. If it does they will remove it. God this has me stressed. I don't have the best relationship with my mom, but I would be lost without her.
my stepson has to have a growth removed from the back of his head soon. so if good vibes are being doled out, i'd sure like some for him.
Warmest wishes for good health, & speedy recoveries to both. I hope Mom's tumor turns out to be benign. Hope the removal goes real smooth KC. *hugs to both*
awwww I know its terrifying to think of losing someone... keep positive Tree-Hugger and it will all work out! here's positive vibes for you and KC ~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks for all of the good vibes. I'm scared but I'm determined to stay positive. KC I hope all goes well with your stepson.
thats all you can really do unfortunatley. im so sorry babe but with the support of her family she will pull through it ok and if you dont have a good relationship with her these are the things that make you realize that maybe now is the time to start i will yall the best of luck you too KC!!
KC, Tree Hugger, I'm really sorry guys. Keep your chins up. A century ago they'd use hacksaws and icecream scoops to treat this kind of thing. I know it's scary, but they need you to be really close right now. Best thoughts guys.
KC's familes tough as hell, he'll be alright. And you know someone who raised a thug like Tree Huggers got to be real damn tough.
Sorry to hear about you mom Treehugger...that's got to be stressful. Good vibes out to you... And KC, good vibes to your family too....I hope Dave is doing ok. It's so hard to watch your baby in pain.
oh, for heaven's sake, treehugger, i totally got in my own pitiful world and forgot to wish your mom well.
Jesus, six months to wait for the next scan? I'd be going bonkers in those 6 months. Wishing you and KC all the best hon..
God she made me cry today. She has called me 4 times already - I've been at work since 9 am. Oh and now she really has grandbaby fever. Lodui my mom is tough - but her biggest fear is cancer so she is taking it really hard. Oh and thanks you guys for all the hugs and well wishes.
Awww, your poor mama. I can't believe they're making her wait 6 months. Heck, when I had that huge, swollen lymph node last month they were chomping at the bit to take it out. Thankfully, my situation cleared up on it's own and I didn't end up having to have the removal. Has your mom gotten a second opinion, or would she consider getting one? I mean, if she's worried about cancer, that's just not right making her sit for 6 months and wonder. I know with me, I was concerned about cancer, and heck, several weeks of waiting and wondering had me a total mess. I can only imagine how your mom would be feeling!
