So Mum will be going into hospital on Monday for an op on Tuesday to remove her lump. The latest MRI scans show that the lump is still growing so it has to be done. They can't biopsy the lump without going in and so they will do both at the same time. And of course until the biopsy we won't know if its a primary or secondary cancer. I'm guessing the latter as this will be the third time Mum has had cancer. Luckily she seems to get a nice big break between each occurrence (8 years and 10 years).
Tests seem to indicate that although the lump is next to the adrenal gland it hasn't penetrated it. But again we probably won't know the true state of things until the operation actually takes place which makes it all a bit unknown and scary.
The op is also not straightforward as they have to go through her side rather than through her tummy due to the location of the lump. But a guy in work knows someone who had this type of op and said that person was out of hospital within a week and didn't have any complications. So fingers crossed.
I won't actually go home until Monday because we have to phone up on Monday morning to make sure a bed is still available (I know).
So that's all I know. Will keep you informed. Otherwise, everything OK. That's all. J x
