Title: My Mother is going to have surgery.
Post by: Animeman73 on June 20, 2012, 06:09:25 pm: Hey everyone, this is a...difficult subject for me to talk about but....I REALLY could use your thoughts and prayers. On July 5th of this year my mother is going into the hospital for surgery. She has gall bladder stones, and kidney cancer. This is hard because while I know my mother will one day pass from this mortal plane I don't want it to be anytime in the near future, I owe my Mom and my stepfather so much. They gave me a place to live when my biological was going to head off to Kuwait, they gave me the dignity to grow up and become my own man, and they've just been there for me. And now with my Mom having cancer this scares the living daylights out of me. Everytime the hospital is mentioned I get nervous I've been this way ever since I lost my maternal grandma due to complications of Diabetes back in 96.

Vampires, werewolves, zombies, rakshasas, blood-sucking aliens they're all scary but they're nothing when compared with that monster called cancer. Just thinking about it makes me cry because I'm really, really scared for her. Yes I'm a man and I cry, this is my mother I'm talking about here. I know she's going to have good medical care but still I can't help but be frightened, this is cancer we're talking about cancer kills more people than anything. All your thoughts and prayers would be apprciated.

Thanks

My thoughts will be with you.
I had a little scare a lot like this a little while back, my grandma was going in for testing for heart failure. She's been in my life since I was born and despite I may complain about her sometimes I love her lots.
What I did was sent her a few loving texts and emails telling her how I loved her, you should do the same.

Her gall bladder and her other kidney have been removed. The kidney that was already operated on is functioning normally. And the tumor found on the first kidney was benign. So my Mom will not have to go on dyalisis. Which is uis wonderful espcially considering in a year or two we want to go see the Falkirk wheel in Scotland.

Post by: Animeman73 on September 17, 2012, 10:05:31 am: Another update folks. The biopsy is in from the hospital. The tumor on my Mom's removed kidney is benign. However it had a massive potential for internal bleeding. So the doctors decision to remove the kidney was the right one. At least my family and i can relax because the surgery is over.
