Hi everyone. Kaylee and I are going to be walking in this year's annual Wiggle Waggle Walk on Sept. 30th to support the Pasadena Humane Society. If you would be willing to help me to reach my goal of $300, I would be deeply grateful! [link]
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Asking for ~ma for my mom this afternoon. She'll be at the doctor for analysis of a mass they spotted in her lung. Since she's already had cancer twice, let's cross our fingers that it is a benign tumor of some sort.

Sorry to say it likely IS lung cancer. It appears to be in both lungs. The doctor said it has not grown at all in the last three months and she is otherwise healthy, so he suggests doing nothing and keeping a close eye on it for the next few months. He feels chemo is not indicated because she is 83 and has had chemo before, and he told her cancer grows slowly in the elderly. The point is for her to be active and "peppy" (his words) and enjoy life for as long as possible. I suspect that the cancer has progressed enough that due to her age it really ISN'T treatable, and this is his way of framing that truth.
I don't need hugs, but I am in a bit of shock right now.

New Mom update. Her GP thinks the pulmonologist may be wrong and it's NOT cancer. Mom is going to get a biopsy to see if it is the extremely rare type of infection which her doctor thinks it is. I'll go home for that and stay until we have an answer.
