Quote of the Moment:
“I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person.” - Audrey Hepburn

waiting.
lymphoma.
leukemia.
tuberculosis.
lung cancer.
a nodule.
My mom went to the doctor again today. She said they took a lot of blood and are doing a tuberculosis test. The doctor also ordered scans of her lower body and a PET scan. I’m not exactly sure what a PET scan is but she said it somehow measures the cellular function in your body. Basically it’s a way for them to tell if this thing in her lungs is living or dead. If it’s living and reproducing cells, that’s not good. If it’s dead, then it’s nothing. Just a nodule that can be removed. We’re obviously hoping for the latter.
Her TB test will come back Friday. She’s also hoping to get the scans done Friday. The doctor told the nurse he wants the blood work back as soon as possible.
The doctor said there are a lot of things it could be. There’s cancer, obviously. There’s lymphoma, leukemia and tuberculosis - none of which are good but all of which are better than lung cancer. It could also just be a nodule. He said there’s a part of your lungs that you’re born with but as you get older it kind of breaks off, then grows back. He said on some people it doesn’t grow back properly. It could also be that.
It’s a waiting game. Just waiting.
