Things are good with a few bumps in the road. I got a job and Tom has been staying home with the kids which has been driving him completely crazy.
In January mom found a mass in in her lower left pelvic area and it was hurting her. I got her into the Dr right away she was then sent over to the ER for an ultrasound that turned into a cat scan. The ER Dr believed that it was just a skin infection called cellulites. She can home from the hospital a few days later and then it was hurting her again and even more so I called the Dr. She was then referred to a surgeon that did a biopsy and it turned out to be a mass in he lymph node. The biopsy results came back and dad and i talked to the Dr on Feb. 25, 2011. That is when my world changed. My mom has what is called clear cell carcinoma which is a type of cancer. At that time the Dr said he wasn't sure as to the location of the cancer. The Dr believes that it is located in her cervix or in her girly parts. Today which is March 2, 2011 myself, Cathee and dad went to the oncologist with mom to find out what kind of treatment was going to be recommended. We sat there and talked to the Dr for awhile to hear him say that mom would not be able to survive surgery to have a hysterectomy because of her health. He also said that due to her health that it would only hurt her more to do chemo or radiation.
All of this has bummed my family and friends out. I really wish that there was a way that no one would ever have to go through the ugly word of cancer. I just pray that I have lots of time left with my mom and that the cancer doesn't progress any more than it already has.
I will try and keep this updated on her progress as we ride this roller coaster of emotions.
I love my mom so much.
