I got some news I didn't wanna hear really tonight...

[Seaward]

TF we are all pulling for you here, wishing all the best for you and yours!

I just got an update. We just found out that the tumour is 1.5 cm in diameter. It doesn't seem that big, but when I measured 1.5 cm on a tape measure, it seems big to be inside the head. So, the next step is an MRI. That should reveal whether or not it's benign or malignent. So, here's to hoping that it's benign. Once again, thank you everyone for the support. It means so much to me. Thank you!

Good luck, my wifes started out being .3 cm and grew to be the size of a golf ball when they got it out, I know that's not comforting totally, but it can get pretty big and still be safe. And I wish your mom the best.

 

[Bardoon]

Best of luck man, I hope all goes well.

 

[wofford29]

you and your family will certainly be in my prayers.

 

[Seth Gecko]

good luck!

I got a bit of an update. We got a date for the MRI. My mom will have it on January 25 in the evening, I think. I could be wrong on the time. But at least it is happening soon. So, now we gotta wait and see what happens! Here's to hoping!

I hope everything goes well with the MRI. My thoughts are with you guys. I know I'd be devestated if anything ever happened to my Mom. Best of luck.

My thoughts go with you and your family. I hope everything works out for your mother.

UPDATE: My mom went for her MRI last Thursday and we heard about the results the other day. The tumour appears to be benign. But, what sucks is that the gland it's in (pituary gland) connects to the optic nerves. And that won't be good when it comes time for surgery, so I would assume. But, it is amazing what they can do when it comes to brain surgery. And she has an appointment with a neurosurgeon on March 14. So, we gotta play the waiting game. But, at least it isn't months away. So that is good. I think that is all for now. I will keep this up to date.

Very nice Tyler!!

 

[pixletwin]

Great news Tyler! Tell your mom that we are all very glad.

 

[swabie2424]

Glad to hear it's benign! Always good news! One step at a time now for sure....

 

[BadMoon]

Tyler,

It brings tears to my eyes to hear of this. I lost my Father to cancer in July. He fought till the end. I had to watch him get worse and worse. I pray that you will not have to go through the same thing. All I can say is be strong for her. Hopefully it is nothing. I've never said this to anyone on the boards before but if you need anything or just want to talk let me know. I have lived it. Again I will pray for you mother tonight.

 

[Customikey]

Good thoughts, BadMoon.

I'm glad to hear it's benign. Our prayers are with her for a speedy recovery.

 

[DarkArtist81]

That's wonderful news Tyler.... I only hope the news keeps getting better from here, we are all pulling for her and for a speedy recovery.

 

[King Darkness]

Thats great to hear Tyler. You're not out of the woods yet, but that is the best news you can get in this kind of situation. I pray for the best for your mother! Trust me, this is gonna be a long road and a positive mind is gonna be what gets you through much of it.

You know you can pm me any time!!

God be with you Mom!

My mother fought through a malignant tumor six years ago, and recently dealt with a recurrence scare that turned out to be harmless. Believe me, I know exactly how elated you are. Congratulations. :chew

 

[twistedfreak]

UPDATE: This one isn't what I would hope it to be. My mom went and saw a neuroligist, not a neurosurgeon, and he said that he can't say that it's benign. Why that other office told us that the results of the MRI showed that it was benign, I don't know. It's not fair. I guess it won't be known if it's benign or malignent till they do surgery. But, there is one good bit of news to be shared though. IF it is malignent, the chances of the cancer spreading are slim due to the place of the tumour. So that is good. Not knowing if it's benign or malignent sucks. And so we have to play that awful waiting game. My mom is going for extensive bloodwork tomorrow, so I hope that will give some good solid results.

I really hate checking in on this thread, but I also hated visiting my aunt Gin when she was dying from lung cancer. However, that's when people need us the most, when we aren't at our best. I really hope for the best for your mother since I would hate the thought of my mother going through something like this.

*here's some more hugs* I know it's just the internet, but believe you me, it's all worth the same.

Also, stuff like this puts things into perspective. Where love should be directed and concentrated on.
