Bad News

Mom called--the surgeon's nurse called her this afternoon and said the surgeon would like to see her in the morning. Mom asked her if she could tell her if it was benign, and the nurse said, "no, honey, I can't." So, the more I think about it, the more I think it is malignant. The doctor woudln't see her in his office if it was benign. If it was benign and they could leave it there, they would tell her over the phone. If it was benign and they needed to remove it, they would schedule surgery. I'm thinking the doctor wants to talk to Mom about her treatment options. Crap crap crap. That's the only word I can think of right now without swearing. So, I'll go with her in the morning and hopefully he will say it's no big deal and we'll remove it, possibly do some radiation and be done. If I remember correctly, when they did the MRI, he wasn't concerned about her lymph nodes, which is a good sign. I hope so. Say some prayers for my mom.

Also, Kory's dad hasn't been feeling the greatest lately either. Kory's Mom and Dad are down today to see the cardiologist. They were going to do a stress test on him at 1:00--we haven't heard how that went--could be we have company another night.
