Well now my Mother is having some health issues.
During a normal routine eye exam, they found a small spot on the back of her eye. A mass if you will. After some more testing, the doctor has concluded that.. it does NOT look like a melanoma which are usually mushroom shape and rise up off of a stem. However he also has no clue what the hell it is.
He orders full body scans, a chest x-ray, blood work out the wazoo, papsmears and mammograms boob scans
What do those turn up?
Thankfully not a body riddled with cancer like my Dad's intestines were.
However, there is a mass in my mother's breast. They are doing a biopsy soon (hell maybe even today as far as I know) and we should know more. If it is breast cancer, the eye is one of the areas it likes to spread to first. Her lymph nodes look good so far.. everything else looks good so far.
It hasn't even been a year since my Dad died though and I'd like to avoid those fourteen months of hell again. I live through them enough.
Good thoughts are most welcome.
