Burnese

Hi everybody and thank you for all the messages and support! I am printing out all your messages and giving it to my mother in law (the one on the picture) so that she can also read them. We have heard so many different results from different doctors during the past 2 weeks. I have discovered that having cancer is a long road with many questions. My mother in law visited her new oncologist today and she gave all of us very good news! The cancer is in the left lung only, not in the pleura. It is causing infection in the pleura, but not yet cancer. She will start her first set of 3 chemo treatments next week. I am sending out my prayers to God to make the treatment work 101%! Apparently they can not make the cancer go away completely, but can shrink it so that she can still live with little side effects for many years! I do not really understand all of this, but I think it is good news. I will try to get the medical terms so that all of you will also understand better. Thank you again for all the supportive messages and I am also praying for all of you every day! “Cancer can be beaten!”

Hi. My mother in law found that she had fluid in her lungs on Tuesday 18/03/08. This week has been hectic. The one doctor are saying this, the other doctor are saying that nothing can be done, the whole family is very stressed out and worried. They drained about 2 Liter from her left lung. They picked up cancer cells in her fluid. Her cat scan and mammogram showed no sign of tumors else where in her body. She will go into surgery today so they can do an autopsy of her left lung. They think there might be cancer on her lung and pleura. I wish we had answers. The waiting is killing us. The reason I joined this board is because I have been searching all over the internet to find answers, because I am trying to give the family positive answers. They all think this is the end, but I know that it is not! I have been doing a lot of research and obviously after we get the result of the autopsy today, we will have more answers. M e and my fiancé are getting married in November and we want to start our own little family. My mother in law is the coolest woman in the world and I want her to stay with us so that my children will know their cool grandma. I am trusting in God and I know that this Easter 2008 he will make her healthy! Amen.
