Test Results

Hi! Well, I wasn't able to do much today because my mom had an appointment with her oncologist and I wanted to be there for her. She had a full body scan done when she went for the brain scan the last time. Now we finally have the results. He said that it looks like the growth in her mastoid bone (the one close to her brain next to her left ear) looks like a flare up from when she had breast cancer maybe just from the meds she was taking at the time. It somehow traveled up there. He looked further down the scan and showed us weak "spots" of her bones that look like they can fracture the bone at any moment. 2 on her spine, 2 on one hip, a couple on her leg, and some other places. He said if they were to fracture she'll need a wheelchair and might become paralyzed. He's apparently more worried about those than the growth in her mastoid bone. He said they can't biopsy that bone because of how complicated it is to get in there. Since it's a flare up, he said it can go away on its own, but he's not sure. So, for the time being he made her take a med that's only given intravenously to help strengthen her bones. Now, I feel even more worried about her. :( The nurses took forever to get her hooked up to the med. By the time we got out we were very hungry. It was like 2:30 PM and I hadn't eaten since 7:30 AM. So, we decided to eat out. We barely ever eat out, so this was a nice treat. Plus, it was kind of to make her feel better. It was what we call lupper or lunch and supper in one meal. ;P We went to a Chinese buffet. Oh, it's like one of the best ones around us! So, good! I love their sesame beef (it's like candy really!), cheese wontons, chicken teriyaki skewers, buttermilk biscuits with a little sugar on top, chicken dumplings with a little sweet and sour sauce, lo mein, honey chicken (another thing that's like candy!), garlic green beans, vegetable fried rice, and apple pie. The apple pie oddly is one of the best pies I've had. It's got like a strudel kind of filo dough that's wrapped around huge chunks of apple and has an awesome sauce. After that we came home. My mom's going to go to her Mah Jong thing later. So, that will get her mind off things.
