Mama's Executive Checkup

I feel so bad today. Mom had her executive check-up last week. Results came back two days later informing her of stones in her gall bladder and cysts in her liver. Those are needed to be operated by March... BUT it cannot be done until the doctors are clear whether her lungs have cysts or those shown on her x-ray results were just infection. Anyway, this week she underwent a CT scan. And results confirmed that my mom has two cysts in the lungs.

I can't help but cry. A friend's mom just died last January 22 due to lung cancer - that was diagnosed to be tuberculosis last October. Then a month later, doctors found that they were cancerous cells that has spreaded in her bones already - declared to be stage 4. Of course I know my mom, with God's help and grace won't suffer the same.

I just ask you and whoever comes across this posting in my blog to pray for my mom's health. She's yet to undergo another CT scan (for the bones) to rule out cancer.

Hello Mare,

While reading your post, I felt some goose bumps... Nakaka-sad.
Rest assure that we will always pray for Tita G's health. God is our strength and the best healer... nothing is impossible, in His name.

Hugs,
L&S

sometimes we are tested at a time when we are not ready, or are we ever be ready especially when its our dear ones that are involved. Please know that my family and I will include your mum's speedy recovery and hoping that you and your family will also gain strenght as days go by. Hang in there, God is our pillar and He never forsake his loyal servants, just call on HIs name and He will be there.

Hello Maan,

I learned about your mom's check-up from Leng. We've thought of her in prayer since then. I hope it was nothing serious. How is she now? and your family?

Hope to hear from you soon!
