so my mom has been having some health issues for a few years. something called degenerative cardiovascular disease. that is affecting her brain, leading to something else called vestibular migraines. eventually this will lead to dementia.
she has also had some lumps on her thyroid that they have been watching but last sample about 2 years ago showed no malignancy. she also undergoes mamogram every couple years due to family history. of the big BC.
this spring she started to loose weight fast. dropped a fair bit and has been having trouble eating. upset stomach all the time. so they have been ramping up all kinds of tests to see if its related to the meds she is on or her type 2 diabetes. or something else.
had another biopsy last week on her thyroid lumps and a mamagam.
dr called and said something showed up on the mam and they wanted to do an ultrasound to get a better look. the tech started the ultrasound and then almost immediately left and brought the dr in. They took one look and said they are not gonna biopsy and wait she is calling the surgeon to see how soon she can get in to have multiple lumps removed.
would not say the C word but said they are not waiting, and also have contacted the other dr for the thyroid to get a rush on those results.
they wont say much other than that and I cant say if that's because they don't want to say till they know for sure or because they think its really bad.
more waiting.
