IS INDEED STRONG...and all of you must have let the "Big Guy" upstairs know a thing or two...
Anyway, the surgery went well. Lump is removed and on it's way to be tested. Dr. did say there may be lymphoma, but he is not going
to jump the gun. He wants to wait for test results before sitting down with Mother and making any decisions. He wants to know "the
WHOLE STORY" first, but said if there is anything, "we", as in Mother, Garry, myself, my daughter, Mothers PCP, her cardiologist and
an oncologist, will hash it out to make sure that the right thing will be done for her. He wants to leave NO STONE UNTURNED and because
of her age and the fact that she is a heart patient, he wants to make sure her body will be able to handle chemo, if necessary.
So, that, as they say is the "full poop". We took her out for a big steak dinner, as she was starving...and so were we...topped off with a
BIG Chewy Chips Ahoy Sundae, which we all partook of...and boy, was it good. She is now home resting and will have to take it easy
for the rest of the weekend.
I am now going to go up to my bed and sleep the sleep of the dead. I did not sleep a wink last night and haven't got a clue as to how I am
still awake.
Thank you so much...EVERYONE...your prayers and good thoughts for my Mother will come back to you 100 times over...
YOU ARE ALL THE BEST OF THE BEST...and I am so honored to call you FRIENDS.
Nite all. It's been a very long day.
God Bless all of you!

Rest easy, Patti. You've got a lot of people holding you and your mother in their thoughts. |

Patti, glad the surgery went well and I am sure your mother is very glad to have all of you behind her as we are behind you. Get some sleep and keep us in the loop. Viejo |

Patty,
My wife has had cancer in different parts of her body 4 different times in the past 7+ years. She is right now undergoing thirty daily treatments of radiation. What I suggest is from a great deal of heart wrenching experience. Opt for chemo and or radiation before any cutting is performed.
Best of luck,

Patti, I had Non Hodgskins Lymphoma and my Oncologist was able to get rid of it with Chemo. I am now cancer free. I will keep your Mom and family in my prayers. I've been there and done that. |

I am alive...I think(??), functioning(??), well, not quite yet, but I will be shortly. Talked to Mother a short time ago,
she slept like log (thank you, God), but all in all, is doing pretty good today. She is sore, but OK. As stated earlier, she will have to take it easy, but "we", meaning the whole family will be keeping an eye on her. This caught most of us off guard, because it all happened so fast, but have asked the family to keep themselves available...as if there was any doubt they wouldn't do it.
So, all in all, today finds her in good spirits, and we will approach "anything else" after the weekend is over. There will be enough time in the next few weeks for everything else.
Thank you again, EVERYONE, for you good thoughts and prayers.
Now I have to go wrangle another cup of coffee and see if I can get the body to start working.
Everyone have a wonderful day.
