I have just come from the hospital. Mom is sitting up in bed, communicating quite normally and is in fact quite chipper. She is comfortable in a 3 bed ward with another lady that she has made friends with. She is still very flushed but looks herself. Now, as far as the doctors are concerned, well they are completely elusive. It's like pulling hens teeth to try and get some information. I know that they did some more tests / scans today and apparently found another mass somewhere near her collar bone and will be taking a biopsy tomorrow. I will get in touch with our GP who has been to see her but it not her physician at this point. I don't know what the future holds in terms of these masses and what they mean. Mom hasn't been well for a long time and this could explain her permanent malaise. But right now, as of this moment, I feel a little less tense. It was just good to see her more like her normal self again. I am in phone contact with hubby (who is quite sick himself and away for 7 days).
