Usually this mark would be about someone excitedly celebrating an anniversary. This is the amount of time they've given my MIL. I'm sitting here crying just thinking about it.
Monday she saw her oncologist who said the fluid tests came back inconclusive. The only thing they do know is that it's one of four types - breast, lung, uterine and digestive or GI. They've tested her uterus and don't think it's GI so they're ruling both out. She has two tests today to take biopsies of her lung and breast.
I'm angry about a lot of things right now but specifically about their testing abilities. 1. They should have done the lung test last week and decided against it for no other reason than they thought it wasn't necessary. 2. They are not going to test her GI tract because they just don't think it could be from there. 3. She's had a cyst in her breast for over a year and when they were about to biopsy it last year, they decided against it because again they didn't think it was necessary. 4. They also haven't scanned anything but her abdomen because rarely does it come from anywhere alse.
So they're starting general chemo on Thursday which won't be as effective, hence the time frame. It's also a chemo that WILL NOT help if it is GI. So yeah, you can see why I'm upset.
Eric is taking it okay, but then again he's not an emotional person. He's scared I know, but still hopeful and trying to be there for everyone else. His dad on the other hand is taking it hard since his mother died from cancer when he was 18. Both his mom and his dad are now pressuring SIL and I to get pregnant so she can live to see her grandchildren. Hmmm.
This post is longer than I expected it to be and I'm sorry for ranting over the last week. But thank you again for all the kind words and T&P.
