Worry

I wish I had happier news to post, but I don't. The short version of recent events is that my mom had a mammogram and the doctor thought he spotted something that didn't look quite right. She went in for a sonogram, and lo and behold -- she has six nodules in her left breast. She met with a breast surgeon this morning, and is having a lumpectomy on Thursday morning in Dallas. After the lumpectomy, my aunt will take her home to recuperate, and the tissue will be sent to a pathologist for a biopsy.

Needless to say, I will be spending tomorrow at work getting others to cover my lawyer gigs on Thursday and Friday, as I plan to stick Maggie in the car Thursday morning and drive to Dallas to be with mom through the weekend.

2003 is almost over. Why don't we have a cure for breast cancer?

Jennifer-I am so very sorry. Big hug and I hope your mom gets through with flying colors. The good news is Dallas has a lot of really great hospitals. My thoughts are with you//H

Thanks, H. You are so right about Dallas area hospitals. She's going to be treated at the Margot Perot Women's Pavilion at Presbyterian Hospital, which only treats women, so she's in good hands. She wanted to come to New Orleans to be treated near me, but I convinced her to stay in Big D where the medical care is much better.

Sorry to hear about your mom...you're right, though. She's going to get great medical care in Dallas.

Love the cross-dressing Kitty! Meow!

I'm so sorry - these sorts of uncertainties are so painful and frustrating. Let's hope this is nothing ... I'll be thinking of you and keep us posted. Take care of yourself.

Bob and I will say some extra special prayers.

We found out that my mother-in-law had breast cancer about a month after our wedding, however, they caught it early and she is fortunately ok. I pray for your mother to come through surgery well, and that the lumps are not malignant.

Why don't we have a cure? Because cancer is very, very complex - they have a new potential treatment in Science magazines every month - BUT they have to make sure that the treatment:
a) works
b) doesn't have any terrible sideeffects
c) goes through the several years of testing
d) gets approved by the FDA - which isn't easy.

Not that that makes one feel better, but it at least gives understanding.
