I'm not hurt, but I'm not sure about the other person I'm here with… she just came back from getting x-rays and I had to drive her to the hospital so… we'll see…

What happened? Are you okay?

@RedTheLoveless

Okay so I'm back, I drove us home and handled groceries. I have a fairly clear idea of what's going on with her, so I'll just spill the worst possibility to you guys…

@RedTheLoveless

So let me just start by saying the person I had to drive to the hospital was my mother. I've told some of you already what's going on with her, so to those of you who don't know, my mother has terminal bone cancer and tumors nearly everywhere in her body. The doctors gave her about a year to live back in October this year.

This morning, my wonderful mother woke up with a severely sharp pain in her side whenever she breathed deeply, which means that one of her tumors must've grown, either the one in her lung, the one on her ribs, or even the large one in her liver. The doctor we went to see at the clinic to schedule an x-ray tried to "look on the bright side" and say there is a possibility she just slept wrong, but the pain was even cutting through her pain meds (she takes hydrocodone and morphine) so at that point he was just giving false hope.

I drove her to the hospital so we can get her x-rayed and see what's wrong and she has an oncology appointment tomorrow so the doctors can look at it and tell her what's going on.

I have a sinking feeling its a growing tumor. Somewhere in my mind, I just know it is.
If it is a growing tumor, all they can really do is blast the site with radiation in hopes of calming it down or even shrinking it… but even that might not work…

I'm so sorry, Lee… This is a terrible thing to have to go through… If there's anything we can do to help you guys out of your funk, please let us know… We love you, care for you, and support you very much my darling, and I hope your mum gets better… I'll be here for you…
