Please pray for John's Aunt Mildred Carroll. She went for a PET scan on Monday and on her lungs there was 2 nodules on one lung and 1 mass on the other lung. The one with the mass was large & He said active.
The options they have are: 1) leave it alone, 2) a biopsy, 3) operate & take out the bottom lobe of her lung.
The biopsy is set up for this Thursday (8/27/09), they will call us & tell us what time.
He said he would make a small incision & cut out a wedge & send to lab while she is asleep & if it comes back cancer they will open her up & it will be a long surgery . She could die, have a heart attack or a stroke , she is 72 years old & very tough.
Aunt Mildred has always been the care giver in the family. If any of her brothers or sisters have been sick, hospitalized, chemo therapy or any other extensive illness she has been the one to take them to the doctor, therapy, clean up during the sickness of chemo, any tests or xrays, cooked, cleaned and any other way that she can be of service to her family she has been the rock. Please pray for her and the family as she is going through this. And pray for the rest of the family to pick up where she is having to leave off when it comes to being the care giver.
If they have to remove part of her lung she will be in the hospital 4 to 7 days & can take up to 2 months for recovery.
Thank you!
