So for the 4 people in the world who actaully read this page, I think most of you know that my mom has been fighting breast cancer since August. Well, atleast that is how long she has known about it. She had a double masectomy, and should have started chemo and had only one week of it left by now. The problem is, she hasnt even started one round of it yet. One of her inscisions (not sure on that spelling and too lazy to go to Word to figure it out for sure..) isnt healing like the other. There is dead tissue instead of nice healing.So the surgeon has not let her do chemo even though her oncologist has been telling him to speed things up because she has the aggressive/invasive type.
Just when it seems like things are going to start progressing and she might get to alteast start herception (the antibody) She gets a sore on her tongue, and her doctor wont start her on the anti-body till its fixed. So, she heads off to the dentist who assures her not to loose any sleep over it and he is sure it is nothing. Then yesterday my mom calls me and tells me the sore was cancerous. But it is like a mole, they remove it and hopefully there is nothing left. Now she might need to see a different specailist...and probably more delay in starting chemo...which she obviously need to start ASAP since it is apparantly still growing in there.
How much can one little underweight mommy who has no spleen, actaully take? She has been so strong and up beat this whole time, and she has had to sit and dread chemo for 5 weeks now. It is bad enough when you are able to start it immediately after surgery, but to have to sit and think about it, loosing your hair, how sick it will make you feel...for 5 weeks??? It is so not fair for her. Why cant something just turn out great for her??? Why couldnt that have just been a normal old sore that showed up after she healed super fast? Instead that is cancer too, and she is STILL trying to heal from her surgery 5 weeks later. I think we have enough angels up there to help get things going the way they should... so- Hello??? Where are you guys- she needs you!!!!!! Put down the fishing pole, get your wings and get to work!!!!!! Hehehe...
So, she doesnt know where this is giong yet and how it will change the game plan with chemo (it is does change) or if it is anywhere else in the vicinity of her ear/nose/throat.... So now all we do is hope it was a random fluke and just sprouted in the middle of no where and there are no more cells around.
If you have a minute, could you just say a little prayer or have a little talk with the Big Man up there on her behalf :) I know we'd all appreciate it!!! I guess I am not saying the right things to him-
Ok...I tried 2 times to go and edit my post, but it is going TOO slow and has couldnt find the page and I am too impatient to wait for whatever it is...to fix itself...
ReplyDeleteI wanted to fix a typo or 2 :) He told her not to LOSE any sleep over it, not loose. And in the parenthesis, it was supposed to say "If it does change"...not "is it does change". I hate it when I cant type and I hate it even more when the dang thing doesnt let me go back and fix it.
