I don't even know where to begin. Today's been a day of bad news, okay, so maybe it's been a year of bad news. I tell myself though at least Lauren's around to cheer us up on days like today. A small hug and a pat on the back from her is still the best medicine there is.
My mom's oncologist called today with results of of CT scan last Friday. The news was not good. Apparently there's a lot of tumor in her right lung. The oncologist has referred to a pulmonologist for followup, and we need to schedule an appointment with him tomorrow. We're also going to meet with the oncologist tomorrow to see what the next course of action is for my mom.
My mom's also got a lot of dental problems, some of which will probably have to be put on hold because of the cancer and the medication she's taking for the metastatic cancer that has spread to her bone. She needs a crown for a top left tooth and root canal for a top right tooth, and a whole new upper bridge. In addition the dentist referred her to an oral surgeon for a biopsy of her upper gum, but that now seems unlikely because of the Zometa she has been taking via IV.
My Aunt Cathy also called us today, with some bad news, my cousin Win-Fong's husband passed away from a heart attack. All of our sympathies go out to my cousin and her family. My cousin-in-law was a fairly young man, barely in his 50's so it's a surprise to all of us.
