I posted last fall that my mom has lung cancer. She had surgery and was able to start taking an experimental medication to target the specific gene mutation that she has. She had a CT scan last week and there is a spot on her rib and one on her liver that they are concerned about so she will be having a bone scan and a PET scan. She won't know the results until March 8. Trying not to stress about it but it will be a long wait. It seems that every time we think she is doing well something else happens so it is hard not to think the worst. So, if you have some prayers or positive thoughts, add my mom to your list. Thanks!

Thanks. I am not sure why it needs to take so long. They are doing the scans in a few weeks and then she has to wait to get the results at her next appt. If they are new cancer tumors I guess I am not sure what they would be able to do anyway so maybe it really doesn't matter how quickly they find out what it is. They said that her cancer was not very responsive to chemo and she is on the medication that they thought would be most effective. I'm hoping that the spot on her lung is scar tissue from having the chest tube or something like that. The dr originally was going to ignore the spot on her liver and said it was a bad scan but another dr thought it was worth looking into.

I will be sending prayers for your mom. I would never survive the waiting. I think the anxiety would kill me. Drives me nuts when I have to wait a long time.

Waiting is the worst.. it just eats you up inside.  Praying that the test results on your Mom will be negative and that she continues to do well on her experimental treatment. |
