Well, we found out that Mom may not have lung cancer after all but instead a lung infection which still is quite serious. She saw her reg physician today who told her that cancer cannot be ruled out. So here we are back to square one again.
I can only hope that it isn't cancer but we will have to take things as they come and deal with them as they do.
We got some bad news a few days ago..my mother may have lung cancer. My thoughts have been going a mile a minute with this news. I am already beginning the grieving process as I am not yet ready to say goodbye.
I guess I shouldn't get too overworked about it just yet as she is seeing a lung specialist later today, however, it is hard to not think about and of course, to be thinking of the worst.
I was planning on trying to get moved out of my parents but with this news it appears as if I will be staying. I will need to be here for her if she does have lung cancer to help care for her and my father as well, he is severly disabled and cannot be left by himself.
So many things to think about with this news...how will I be able to care for my father if she does pass away, what about the house, the bills, making sure my stepbrother doesn't come in and rob them blind, will my brother's come and help since they haven't bothered to come around all this time?
I guess this is something that will need to take it's course and let things flow but it is hard to not think of these things in advance to be prepared for the possible worst.
Just when I thought that I had control over my life and my destiny then wham...I get hit with this. My life has to be put on hold as my duty now is to care for my parents and to look after their best interests.

Thank you Adrian and Anne..your concern and thoughtfulness is very much welcomed.
Mom did go and see the lung specialist again today for another test and it will be approx 8 more weeks for the results of the culture to come back but it appears as if it is an infection.
I can only cross my fingers and hope all ends well.
