F/U: T&P needed
Okay, well we finally got word back and it is good news!
Background: I received a phone call on Sunday from my father who was crying (he never cries so this was immediately alarming). He wanted to tell me something that my mom didn't want me to find out yet. It seems as she was having pains and her doctor sent her for an ultrasound. They told her the doctor would call her back in 3-5 days with any results. Two hours after the ultrasound, her doctor called saying that there were masses and she may have ovarian cancer (which is one of the deadliest forms of cancer for women since it's usually not detected until it's too late) but they wanted her to take a blood test. She went Friday for a new blood test that is able to determine if she indeed had cancer. Well the test results came back today and *thankfully* it's not cancer. She's going to have to have surgery still to remove her ovaries (she had a hysterectomy when I was born but her doctor left them) no matter what but I am so relieved!
Thank you all for your T&P... it really meant a lot to me to know I had your support!
Re: F/U: T&P needed
Glad to hear that your mom doesn't have cancer. I'm sure that's a huge relief!
I lost my mom to lung cancer (she never smoked) 10 years ago this August, my uncle to colon cancer 10 years ago in March, my great aunt to breast cancer, my grandmother had breast cancer... my list could go on. It's not an easy pill to swallow.

Misa, I'm so glad to hear the good news about your mom! I know that is a scary thing to think about. I've lost 3 grandparents to cancer and a few friends and other relatives, like pp's have said, it's not an easy thing to digest.
I hope all goes well with her impending surgery, I will still be sending T&P's your way for your mom and the rest of you!
