O.K. I just got back from a day of Doctor appointments with both of us. My doc says he wants to do knee replacement and I said I had to wait till mothers situation is dealt with so he drained fluid ( 1/4 cup) off of each knee and put cortisone shots in each knee as well and said let him know when I was ready for the replacements to happen or the next cortisone shot is due whichever comes first. Mothers Doctor said he couldn't tell how bad the cancer was or what type it was until he did a biopsy and blood work. we went across the street and did the blood work which will tell us exactly which kind of Lymphoma it is and went a mile or so down the road and did the pre-registration for her Biopsy which is at 11:30 tomorrow morning. the blood and the biopsy results should both be back Monday or Tuesday and he will decide what options would be best for her as in surgery to remove the main tumor and radiation or just pain medication to help her with her pain as she dies. He did say that the cancer had spread from her lymph nodes to her bones in her spine and in her shoulder blade on her right side and that it was a fast growing type of cancer. I will post tomorrow when I get home from the hospital about what he says when he comes out of biopsy with her and tells us what he saw when he was taking the tissue sample out of the tumor. Then Monday or Tuesday when we find out if it is fight and how to fight or give up and stay drugged I will let you all know, thank you guys for your prayers, they are already giving us the strength to endure this evil thing that is taking my mom away from me.
