To start off this blog, I'll give a quick update on how everything went down. A few months ago, Mom was feeling some heaviness in her abdomen but didn't think a lot about it. A few weeks ago, it started to get very uncomfortable and a little painful. Most importantly, it was affecting activities that she enjoys such as hiking. Three weeks ago, she saw a general doctor who referred her to a gynecologist. After an ultrasound, it was evident that there were some tumors. A biopsy confirmed that the tumor in the uterus was cancerous. A visit with the oncologist yesterday (July 1st) yielded the decision to do immediate surgery.
She has a tumor in the uterus which will be removed via a hysterectomy. She has a tumor around her ovaries which will also be removed. That tumor is big and mean. It has spawned evil baby cancers that have floated around other areas of her abdomen. Including possible infection of the liver and lymph nodes. The surgeon is taking all of that out.
Next step will be chemo after she recovers from surgery.
The end of this blog will be, I mean WILL BE, called "The Cure". And called nothing else.
Please join me in being her team. We need to rally around her and do whatever it takes to help her WIN. Beat this thing. Team Lolly!
