Bad News--Need Some Good Thoughts

It feels odd posting this here, but I've been posting all my problems here the last six months, and you ladies have helped so much.

Last night, my Mom called and said she was at my sister's house. Which seemed strange, she and my father live in Florida, and I thought they were heading home after my wedding. Anyway, I called her back, and it turns out she almost definitely has kidney cancer. She and my father and sister have known for almost a few weeks now, but kept it from me so the news wouldn't spoil my big day.

Her doctor wants to run an MRI of her liver which will take place tomorrow, and then they meet next week to talk about their next steps. Most likely, it will be surgery. I'm trying to stay upbeat and hope it's just one small tumor, and she'll be fine after surgery.

I don't usually ask for prayers or good wishes, but I am asking for her sake today. Thank you!

Your family, most especially your mother are in my thoughts and prayers.

I understand what you're going through. My mother has been battling cancer in the bladder for about 6 years now. All this time the cancer has been contained in her bladder. The doctor's now have reason to believe it may have spread to her kidneys. She had surgery last week - doctors are hopeful

Stay positive, stay strong.

Thank you so much for all of your good wishes and prayers! It meant a lot to me to see all of the messages. I've shared so much with all of you the last few months, and you all have with me, I feel as if I know many of you. You guys are the best!!!

No news yet--my mother meets with her doctors next week to decide upon her next steps, most likely surgery. I'll let you all know what happens.
