So my mom got the news today from her doctor on the series of test she had done last week. One major positive.... the cancer is nowhere else in her body, it is only in the mass they found in her shoulder. The bad news, for the moment they can not/will not surgically remove the tumor because it is to close to her caratoid (sp?) artery in her neck. So for the moment they plan on chemo and radiation treatments to try and shrink the tumor to the point they feel they can go in an safely remove it. More bad news, one of the chemo drugs (apparently its three different ones) they are gonna be using can cause heart problems. So mom is freakin out and focused on all the negative stuff instead of being relieved that the cancer is nowhere else. She doesn't want to go thru the chemo and wants the tumor removed, like now, but thats not happening. So thats the update. I'm abit relieved but still worried for her
