Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Well went to the radiologist. Looks like there is a problem in her lymph node they are going to remove it and biopsy it, to see if there is cancer anywhere else before the radiation and chemo. she still has to do cat scans also. Not set for the event yet. Now waiting for this. My sis wants to be thorough before doing anything else. Next week more surgery. My poor sis oh! my kitty had her kittens. I thought she was going to have 4 but I came back where she was having her kittens and there was another baby.So 5 altogether. They are so pretty now that they are all cleaned up. She is a good Mommy. Kittens make me so happy. I hope she will want one during this time. they are so cute and cuddly. But I know I have to get her fixed now there are just too many kitty's in the world I know, I am selfish I just wanted her to have a litter before she is fixed. Our next Dr app't is Mon or tues. so I will let u all know what is going on next week ok. thanks ya'll for all the info and jsut being there when I want to talk.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 HI, Glad they are being so very thorough on your sister. At least you both will know more and know what needs to be done. They will know more after surgery. Even with scans and such only surgery and the biopsy report will give you and your sister the answers. Praying for her. Ingrid > Well went to the radiologist.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Lori, I love cats too. I have nine of them at this time. They are all fixed. I take in kittns once in a while and just love watching them. God created them to be so full of life and amusing. My house cats gave me a lot of support while I recooped from sugery. They layed in bed with me and gave me comfort. Our pets weather they be dogs, cats or horses do give us the unconditional love. Enjoy your kittins and as they get older they will give you plenty to laugh about. God made the critters for us to enjoy. Ingrid > > > Well went to the radiologist.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Ingrid this is really something. I was telling u how majestic horses are. can u beleave this? We donot have horses in this neighbor hood we just don't and I just saw a horse running down the middle of the street that was so strange. Just had to tell u. I think it was a good sign for me.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Lori, When is she having the lymph Node removed? Before or after chemo starts?

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Hi Ingrid, She is getting her surgery Thurs and I just assumed they would start Chemo Next Mon but It could be in another week or so. I suppose we will find out wed. or Thurs. I spent time with my grand bay today he will be 2 June 21st. He helps me be happy he is my heart. I didn't see him last week so if I can see him once a week at least it helps me put my thoughts in a whole other place.then I have my granddaughter over now one leaves and another one comes over. But to be around my grand kids makes me happy. But Life Happens good or bad it is alll apart of life. Thank for listening to me you are so good about this. I admire you greatly.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Lori I hope they let her heal some before they start chemo. I had surgery in Oct and had to wait until Jan for chemo. Doc said I had to be pretty much all healed up because chemo will inhibit the healing process. I would ask them about that... I will remember her and you and the family in my prayers that all goes well and wouldn't it be lovely not to find any cancer.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 I am so happy you finds some enjoyment with the grandchildren. At least that time gives you some time when you are not so worried. Of course the worries never go away totally. Hope the results for surgery are good. I would think they would wait at least six weeks after surgery to start chemo. That is the normal process. But every doctor is different. Just that she will need to heal real good before they do chemo. Chemo slows the healing process down and that could be dangerous.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 I believe that the " standard " , if there is such a thing, is to start chemo 6-8 weeks after surgery. That is the time frame used for all of the studies on the effectiveness of the chemo drugs, anyway.

Of course the worries never go away totally. Hope the results for surgery are good. I would think they would wait at least six weeks after surgery to start chemo. That is the normal process. But every doctor is different. Just that she will need to heal real good before they do chemo. Chemo slows the healing process down and that could be dangerous.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 All I know is if you press the nursing home and their doctor they can provide them. A nursing home will do as little as possible if you don't make them because their bottom line is their profits! A patient who has no VISIBLE and DEMANDING family gets as little as they can provide. Is your mother with it? Eating well? Some of the food they serve is gross I assume your mother is on Medicare. if so they do provide it. IT may be the nursing's home CHOICE (profit margin) to supply those flannel diapers but I think if you make a stink they WILL provide Depends. Nonnie IF THERE ARE NO DOGS OR HORSES IN HEAVEN THEN WHEN I DIE I WANT TO GO WHERE THEY WENT. HOPEFULLY, there IS a RAINBOW BRIDGE!!

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Actually My sis takes care of My Mother My sis is single and she takes care of all my Moms things she spoils her but maybe I can tell her about the depends can be ordered through medicare or mdical. I will check into that.I will have to take over but I can't spil her like my sis.My sis goes and gets her ready for bed everynite. gives her and her roomate depsert every nite. My sis cleans up everything like she would at home. I visit her maybe once a week and i really don't do anything. My Mom has beginning alziheimers and my sis is her favorite. Mom doesn't like the way I do things for her but I am not heart broken I know that the elderly people will cling to one person in the family. so I just except that is the way it is with my Mom I never had a good place with my Mom growing up. But never the less she will have to depend on me for visits and my sis won't be able to do for her that much anymore while she is going throug this stuff.
