Hi Everyone,

To make a long story short, the last two days have been very trying. My grandmother has had two surgeries in two days....as it turns out weve located and removed a mass, turns out to be malignant. Unlike most people I was not raised by my parents I was raised by my grandparents, so I have been quite emotional the last couple of days.

Having said all that why I asked if some of you would not mind is this: I personally do not speak to God, nor do I believe in the existence of one. However my grandmother is a devout Catholic, for those of you that talk to God, perhaps you might in your prayers ask for some relief for her, she is not deserving of all this.

I may not be religious but I do believe in a connectivity between all of us, for those of you like me that don't pray, hoping really hard will be appreciated also. Thanks to anyone willing to take the time to think well....we can use the help.


Tom

Hey All,

Thank you so very much for the good thoughts and well wishes. The mass removed looks to be malignant, although were still waiting official biopsy results, the surgeon is pretty sure though.

Its really amazing how from one day to the next, things can change so drastically. Well know more in the coming days.

It means more than you all know to see everyone wishing us well. *hugs*

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick update the tumor was removed from the bladder and has been confirmed to be malignant and fairly aggressive. There wont be much more information for several days because they have to wait for the infection to clear out of the kidneys before they can do anything exploratory.

There are many scenarios that could play out at this point, so in limbo I sit. Thanks again to everyone, when folks come together, good things happen.
