    Doctors have found a mass 8'' x 8'' x 8'' in my mom so big they can't see her uterus so she is going to have to have surgery where they will biopsy it to see if its cancer and if it is they have to see if it has spread and she'll probably have to have some type of radiation or chemo.

    This scares me so badly. My mom means a lot to me and we are at a point where we are closer than we ever have been and I don't want to lose her. I'm trying to stay positive and be supportive of her and I know she doen't need me to be worrying over her.

    I just ask everybody to keep her in your thoughts, or thoughts and prayers whatever you may believe.:tears:

    That's terrible! My mom had cancer too, and all I could think of was "Please God let her live" for like two months. I hope it's not as bad as they're thinking :frowning2:

    Thanks. she is going to have to have a hysterectomy no matter what but I'm hoping that the mass is benign and not cancer because she is the type of person who doesn't like to go to the doctor so she waits until she can't handle the pain or sickness anymore.

    She has been going through a lot of pain for a while and refused to go to the doctor until now so hopefully it hasn't spread. In fact a couple of days ago I was on the phone with her begging her to go to the doctor and she finally got tired of me begging her so she agreed to make an appointment. I don't even want to think about what would have happened if she decided not to go to the doctor.

    I hope everything turns out okay. There have been miraculous advances in cancer treatment in the last decade, so even if the diagnosis is cancer, it does not necessarily mean the worst. Hang in there!
