Please send good thoughts…

My mom is having surgery early tomorrow morning.  She has a cyst on her ovary that was discovered during her annual exam.  Her doctor said, “Ovarian Cancer.”  She saw a doctor when she got to California in January, and after a CT scan, he said he doubted that it was cancer, but he couldn’t rule it out.  My parents flew home on Sunday.  She saw another doctor on Tuesday who also doubts it is cancer, but won’t rule it out.

Tomorrow, she will have her ovaries out laparoscopically unless, once they are in there, they see something that is wrong.  Then, they will do a full hysterectomy.  I feel like it will be a positive outcome.  I have every reason to believe that the laparoscopic surgery will be exactly what she needs and that she will be home tomorrow.  But.  But.  I still have that  nagging pit in my stomach.  She will be 75 in April.  Surgery is surgery.  They have not ruled out Cancer.  Her good friend was diagnosed with cancer in the summer, and died before Christmas.  Another friend of a friend was diagnosed in October and died in January.  It frankly scares the hell out of me.

So.  Please send good thoughts into the universe for my mom.  Prayers, vibes, whatever you want to call it.  I will be praying.  I assigned my children to say a prayer for Grandma tonight.  I would appreciate any you could spare as well.  Thank YOU.
