Hey guys.
I know I haven't been on in awhile. Work has been really busy, and by the time I get home from the gym it only leaves me enough time to go home and sleep.
On Tuesday my life got flipped upside down, and I'm stuck in this nightmare I can't wake up from.
I took my mom into the hospital Tuesday morning because she has been in a lot of pain. We thought it was Gall Stones so I convinced her to go in to the hospital because even without medical insurance they will still help. She had it in her head that they can deny her treatment and send her home so going would be a waste.
Well long story short, it wasn't her Gall Bladder. They found tumors in her Ovaries, Uterus, Fallopian Tubes, Bladder, Lower Bowels, and Lymph Nodes. Fluid pockets were found in her abdomen, and around her lungs. Her surgery was on Friday. They removed as much as they could, but had to leave 2cm of the tumor so that Chemotherapy could get rid of it, and of course kill the rest. They haven't given us the diagnosis yet, but they are saying it looks to be Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer.
We are trying to stay in high spirits because her surgery went amazing, and her recovery looks that way too. She only spent a few hours in ICU, and was said to be "too well" to be there, within hours of having surgery she was back to her old room, walking a bit, and eating what they allow. We hope to have her home in a few days, and then she can start her treatment. Chemotherapy once every 21 days for 6 months...
All I'm asking for is prayer, and as much of it as you can give. For my mothers health, and for our family to have strength because I am completely broken. I don't know how to function anymore, and when I'm there with her I'm strong, and supportive, but when I'm home I can't eat or sleep or think about anything other then her. I'm sitting at work for the first time in a week, and all I can do is sit here and cry. We have worked out schedules between my siblings and I because my mothers English isn't that well, and she doesn't want to be alone, but we also have to work...so I'll be going back there once I get off.
Thank you all in advance.
