Cancer Strikes Again.....

Today my husband called me at work--his mother was being rushed to the University of Minnesota hospital from another hospital near her home after going into the emergency room with a sudden bad headache and a partial loss of vision in her right eye. A CAT scan at the first hospital revealed a quarter-sized tumor on the right side of her brain & that is why she was sent to the U of MN hospital. There is no doubt it is cancer because five years ago she had a kidney removed due to cancer & since then they found it in her tailbone (they were able to treat it) and a small spot in her lung that never grew. They did an MRI on her at the U of MN but we won't know the results of it until tomorrow. We won't know what treatment options they will select or what the outcome will be until then.

Of course my husband is very upset, as am I. I have had a wonderful relationship with my mother-in-law thus far and I love her very much. This is almost too much to bear considering my mother died of lung cancer on May 11th and I had to put one of my dogs down about a month later due to lymphoma. I hate cancer very much.
