My Mother

I'm trying not to overreact here. Trying to keep my feet planted firmly on the ground. Trying to convince myself this is nothing. But I'm struggling.

Six years ago my mother was dx'ed with lung cancer. She had her left lung removed and a 1/4 of her right lung. She is also a breast cancer survivor, 11 years.

The Dr. said she was at a high risk for recurrence of the lung cancer and had to have scans every six months until she reached the 5 year mark. Then she could go every year. She just had her yearly one done.

The Dr.'s office called her yesterday and said the Dr. would like her to come in and talk with him about the results of her test. He's never done this before. In fact they've always said, "if you don't here from us then everything is fine."

I am scared that everything is not fine.

I guess there is nothing to do but wait until next Wednesday.

Thanks for listening.

I'm thinking about you and your mother. I know the waiting will be terrible. We are here if you need us.

Thanks Gemmy.

((((((((((Petunia)))))))))))))

You'll both be in my thoughts,I'm keeping fingers crossed.
Sending you many warm wishes for strength,healing and peace of mind.

((((((((( Petunia and her mom ))))))))))

Be strong for yourself and for your mom. If you need to talk I am here for you Petunia at any time.
(((((((((Petunia and Family)))))))))

Only next Wednesday? That is quite a wait. I don't blame you at all for struggling.

There is nothing much I can say except try to hang in there.

Will be thinking of you.

(((( Everyone ))))

I know. Wednesday seems so far away. But around these parts that's actually getting her in soon.

Hang in There Tunia. Hopefully its nothing.

Try and keep busy and make the time pass. How about a nice cuppa?
Sending prayers.

(((((((((( Pet & Mom )))))))))))))

You are both in my thoughts and prayers. I wish so much there was more I could do.

Hugs,

i've been in our position and the waiting is so very hard......like others have said....try to keep busy......but also think that if the news was real bad maybe they would have had her come in immediately?.........you are in my thoughts and prayers

I am hoping that today will be the worst for worry and it will ease for a few days until maybe Tuesday.

Petunia, pm anytime if needed. we're praying all goes okay
Love
Angie

I hope the waiting goes quickly and you find the medical professionals just have additional questions. Take care.

((( Petunia ))) ((( Petunia's mom )))

Petunia,

Can you call back and ask if you can come in sooner?

Hugs,

EJ

We're on the "cancellation" list.

BTW Thanks a bunch everyone. I am not good as far as waiting goes. I twist my petals up in knots with worry.

((((((((((((( Petunia ))))))))))))))))

(((((((((( Petunia & Mom ))))))))))))

You're both in my thoughts and meditations. I can't imagine how anxious and concerned you both are. I hope she's able to get in sooner than Weds.

My thanks to all. I am trying to keep the mind occupied.

((((((((((((((((Petunia and Mom)))))))))))))))))))) My thoughts are with both of you.

Petunia and Mom,

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks buds. I'm not prepared for this chapter in my life.
