My mom had her first CT scan yesterday and her appointment with her oncologist is Friday. She is really worried (I am too) about the appointment. She doesn't feel like it will be good news.

She has had pain in her rib cage for several weeks and worries what that means. Her back and knees have been bothering her too but that is fairly normal. The thing that worries me is they did not get any lymph nodes in the resection so there is no way to know if they were involved, although they didn't light up on her PET in late October.

We'd appreciate any thoughts and prayers for us on Friday. Thanks!

karibrenmom,

Wishing you and your Mom all the best for good news on Friday. It hasn't been much time since her wedge-section and those nasty nerves that were cut through can cause weird pain for a long time. I dearly hope that is all it is for her.

Keep us posted.
