Starting to Feel a Little Bit Better About it All
Sep 30th, 2008 by michelle
I really haven’t felt up to posting recently. But I did speak to my mom last night and wanted to share with you.
She had the MRI and CAT scans done yesterday. She also met with her internist, who had labs done last week. The internist said that everything with her blood work looks really good. (Usually, if there is cancer, the white blood cell count would be up, but it was not- good news!) She also said that she has seen a lot of people come in with these same types of symptoms and it turns out to be an infection in the bone- this is treatable. My mom will still definitely need to have the biopsy, which could mean surgery.
My mom will know the results of the MRI and CAT scans either later today or tomorrow. The bone specialist will then review them and determine if he wants to just schedule the biopsy immediately or have my mom come in for her scheduled appointment on Thursday and then schedule it.
As for me, I am feeling very anxious. I try to pray as much as I can, but I feel very out of control being so far away and, at this point, really not even knowing what is wrong.
Prayers are appreciated for us all.
Wheeeeee! This is a fantastic update. My prayers continue.
This is good news, indeed. I’ll keep her and you all in my prayers. *hugs*
keep us posted…
