Jesus, God of my heart, come and unite me to Thyself forever.
The results from the MRI and CAT scans are in: They both found no other tumors in her body.
These are the three possible options for what the tumor is:
infectious process in the bone
benign tumor
cancerous tumor
We are praying for #2. In all cases, she will need some sort of treatment, but it is unclear exactly what [...]
I talked with my dad last night, and he said that the results of my Mom’s MRI showed that her shoulder and rib bones are clear. Good news! It is probably arthritis, but definitely not cancer.
Now we are waiting on the CAT scan results, which will show if there are any soft tissue tumors in [...]
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. [...]

I was going to add some detail to yesterday’s post and when I logged in to do that, I saw that the post had been written only 15 hours ago. It feels like such a long time since I first heard from my mother. It probably doesn’t help that I was up until 1:30am doing [...]
My mom went to see the orthopedic oncologist today.
This is what we know:
The tumor is IN the bone
The bonescan showed other areas in her body that are “inflammed” (her ribs and shoulder blade)- this could mean more tumors
The tumor is not removeable, which means she will need radiation and/or chemotherapy to shrink the tumor. Removing [...]
My mom called this morning to tell me that they have moved her appointment to today. She is currently with an orthopedic oncologist. It appears that the tumor may be cancerous; so they will be doing a biopsy. I am not sure if that is something that are doing today or scheduling for another day. [...]
As many of you know, my Uncle Bob has been in the hospital for several weeks now. He has emphysema and is very ill. He is now in ICU. Today the doctors have a procedure to do that will hopefully prolong his life and give him a fighting chance. But they aren’t sure if he [...]
My mother’s brother, Bob, has just been moved to ICU. He has emphyzema and got a cold several weeks ago. The cold made him so ill that he was placed in the hospital, where it was touch and go for a while. He still has pneumonia and also an bacterial infection in his lungs. The [...]
We just found out that my mother has a tumor in her hip.
My mom, Dorothy, has been having severe pain in her hip for several months now. Once, the pain was so debilitating that my father had to rush her to the emergency room. My mother is a very strong woman; she has three older [...]
