Yesterday...our little part of the world cracked a little bit more. The doctor called and said "it's cancer". Her surgery did not go as we'll as we had hoped. They took mom from me at 7:17 for what they estimated would be a 90 minute procedure and it was 11:15 when they got done. The doctor came and talked to me and was very optimistic. Said I could see her in about an hour as long as she woke up ok. 3.5 hours later, I was finally taken back to her.
We have been discussing her options from a family standpoint. But are waiting to hear what stage it is at...that will take a week.
Mom and I went out to dinner last night and she also broke the news to me that she is in stage 3 of renal (kidney) failure. Meaning...I don't know if her body CAN handle chemo or radiation treatment.
I don't even know what to say at this point...we are badly battered and bruised. Is it possible to feel like an orphan at my age. Cause I feel pretty lost right now.
2012 has sucked on so many levels and every time I think I'm about to overcome it, it kicks me in the teeth AGAIN.
Praying for strength and courage.
Oh, Becky! My heart aches for you! Sending love and prayers. Please let me know if we can do anything. **HUGS**
